Armor:
* You're missing Armor Layering (reduced mass for plates) entirely, get it to 4
* Armor comps to 5, you're walking away from 2% resist on your EANMs
* Maybe remote hull reps to 3 or 4

Drones:
* Fighter Hangar Management 4 (5 if you've got aims on a super)
* Support Fighters 4 (the extra resists on T2 sirens go a long way)

Electronic Systems:
* Secondary ewar skills (Signal Suppression, Signature Focusing, Weapon Destabilization) -- these are arguably more important than the base skills

Engineering:
* Thermodynamics 5. Get on it, son.
* Resistance Phasing to 4 if you fly anything with a RAH

Missiles:
* Get your core skills (Warhead Upgrades, Rapid Launch, Guided Missile Precision, Missile Projection) to 5. Then see.

Rigging:
* Get everything you've already got injected to 4. You're missing drone rigging, but so few ships use that, it's not a high priority.
* Hybrid and energy weapon rigging.

Targeting:
* Get the other two sensor compensation skills, and get all four comps to 5.

If this becomes a service you're selling then I'll buy it.

Oh, the network slogan is true -- "watch FOX and be damned for all eternity!"


There's a really easy joke in here about not having your Diplomacy and Diplomatic Relations skills trained up enough. :v:

-

You've got a ton of skills, but most of them are extracted to the point that you can't fly a lot of ships.

This looks like a super character, given that you've got Heavy Fighters and DD skills trained. If you want to fly supers again: Get all your armor comps to 5. If you fly a titan, depending on how much time you spend with a cloak on it, Cloaking V may be a worthwhile train. Jump Portal Generation to 4.

If it's not meant to sit in a super: Armor comps to 5. Start getting racial hull skills to 5 so you can sit in T2 hulls. You've got a ton of T2 weapon specs injected but at level 0 (I'm guessing you extracted them); at a minimum, get them to 1 so you can use T2 ammo, and ideally get those to 4. Sensor comps to 5. All T3 subsystems to 5. If you like to fly solo boats with active shield tanks, Shield Compensation 5.

The real question is, decide what you want to fly (i.e. "I want to fly Amarr BSes" / "I want to fly decent solo frigs" / "I want to fly a carrier") and chase that.

No no I have never extracted anything. I just injected every single skill I could in case I might need to train them in the future. I also train every single skill to rank 2 in case I might need it.

Do? Fleet stuff mainly. Boosting, logi, recon, Triage, Dread, Carrier.

I do have my last bonus remap. I'll use that for the comp skills then in the near future. Maybe throw in some ewar skills as well.

No, since you get less SP out of injectors if you're over certain thresholds. You'd lose a lot of SP doing this.

Are you flying around lowsec or dipping into null? I usually run around null, but thought that I would give FW-Space a try and just died to a Huggin, which was sitting in a medium plex and had a merlin as bait. :argh:

I fly mostly frigs in low, but I also had good experience with bigger ships. I just wouldn't recommend flying BS in heavily active FW systems, you will just get blopped to poo poo.

COSMOS missions are still hosed, and if you try them at one point in the past without a guide and going though it all the way, you are locked out of the rest of the cosmos missions, and CCP doesn't reset COSMOS missions as they are a one time only thing.

You lose some skill points extracting above a certain level, since injectors give less the more SP you have. So if you just use it to transfer XP to a new alt your new char will be weaker.

the now smaller CFC moved south, the blue donut remains a blue donut despite the furious protestations of PL, etc, that it does not, and there's been a lot of boring circlejerking here and on reddit

also a bunch of casino idiots got banned, because, surprise, surprise, contrary to their protestations they were totally engaged in RMT

Yes but if you inject all the SP at once on a character with below 5m SP you get the full amount.

WILL GIVE YOU SOMETHING.

the remaining imperium alliances moved to delve once the heat died down, evicted the small alliances living there. since then it's been pure wallet-stuffing, with a side order of brushfire fights vs The-Culture in fountain.

the casino coalition took over the north, ratted in peace and harmony for about 5 months, then predictably turned on each other. NCPL kicked out CO2. TEST allied with CO2 during the war, and consequently were evicted as well. Imperium mostly sat by and did the nelson ha ha voice for several weeks.

eve went free to play, kinda.

rorquals got turned into rock-eating monsters with XL mining drones, which are limited only by the ability to get mercoxit slaves to finish off & respawn the site. Delve now mines 2x the volume of most empire regions and that doesn't even count the rorqs.

TEST & CO2 decided to invade stain russians for a variety of reasons, imperium is fighting on the RUSRUS side. this war just kicked off a few days ago.

CCP made defender missiles useful by turning them into DICKS anti-bomb defenders, so battleships are finally having a comeback.

Oh, and further Rorq hilarity.

They are now jump capable tacklers who can fit the PANIC module, making them immune to all damage for 5 minutes.

They are now the best way to tackle things. And they were recently "balanced" by CCP, by lowering their mining output by a bit.

Edit: Wait, doesn't the rorq panic thing make ALL mining ships on grid immune for 5 minutes? So couldn't we goon cannon fleets of skiffs for immune fleets with lots of drones?

I honestly thought it was going to be like 6 months or something. There were periods in there that I was actively playing but I ain't gonna question 40m skillpoints. That character is 11 years old though so maybe he gave me every single skillpoint I ever missed?
