Margaret Kennedy 41 Posted March 30, 2020 Apart from the requirement to reach 100K EHP, there is very little said about required skills in both the fitting page and the rookie guide. So when the FC called upon us to overheat our guns, it took me a while to figure out that I needed thermodynamics in order to do so. I'm also going batshit crazy on Capacitor and Navigation skills, as I never seem to have enough to keep my MWD going while we slowboat to the next position. I kind of wish I'd had those before I started. So mentioning that in one of the guides might help other newcomers. Feel free to add more skill suggestions if you'd happen to have any. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlameTounge 66 Posted March 30, 2020 Well, we do have a skill guide here on the forums. It might be a bit obscure / hard to find, and a link to it in the rookie guide might not hurt, but it's there. Have a look and see if that helps you. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malcolm Galora 372 Posted March 30, 2020 Yeah CCP recently removed the overheating skill by default for new characters, so not everyone is going to have the ability now a days. Something some people might not be aware of, since its usually always been at least level 1 or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now thermodynamics isn't even on that list but it is a list. I do have my doubt about some aspects, like light drone skills for the Maelstrom even though the fitting page tells you to put heavy's on there. Or is there some kind of benifit to heavies that comes from the light drone skill line as well ? Either way it pointed out quite a few holes, so skill books were bought and now we wait, again Efficiency loading... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imelda Virpio 177 Posted March 31, 2020 My 2009 main still doesn't have Thermodynamics so it's not a new thing. Or maybe it's a new/not new/ancient thing And, no, you don't really need light drones skill on a Mael... or on any of our battleships really. Just bring Ogres, nobody will yell at you for having a bay full of Ogres. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Margaret Kennedy 41 Posted March 31, 2020 Are drone skills actually important ? Or do your drones inherit the skills of the person they were assigned to ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tani Makia 166 Posted March 31, 2020 Drones operate on your skills, not the drone bunny's skill. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Otto Volker 2 Posted April 1, 2020 Drones 5 is required to field 5 drones (duh). Additional drone skills mean additional speed/dps/tank for the drones. They're your drones, so your skills determine their outputs. 12 hours ago, Margaret Kennedy said: I do have my doubt about some aspects, like light drone skills for the Maelstrom Is this because some of the medium drone skills or race drone skills have light drone skills as a pre-requisite? I can't comment specifically on Maelstrom fits, but I know on a VG-fleet Vindi I carry light drones (Navy Acolytes)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Margaret Kennedy 41 Posted April 1, 2020 Seeing how there are kind people about who love to hand out drugs to fellow fleet members, one should actually add Biology to that list as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlameTounge 66 Posted April 1, 2020 I think I last saw him dropping them out of a scimi, so there's the rust for you at least... =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
