Overview
Skills that make all ships you fly faster and more agile. Also skills that control operation and effectiveness of afterburners (AB), microwarp drives (MWD), warp drives and jump drives.
Acceleration Control
| Description |
Primary |
Secondary |
Multiplier |
| Skill at efficiently using Afterburners and MicroWarpdrives. 5% Bonus to Afterburner and MicroWarpdrive speed boost per skill level. |
Intelligence |
Perception |

| Navigation III |

| Notes |
More oomph from propulsion modules is good for anyone who ever uses propulsion modules, which is pretty much everyone.

Afterburner
| Description |
Primary |
Secondary |
Multiplier |
| Skill at using afterburners. 10% bonus to Afterburner duration per skill level. |

| Notes |
Duration (cycle time) bonus works out as a reduction in AB capacitor use. Most pilots train this to III as a prerequisite for High Speed Maneuvering (and MWDs); if you use ABs a lot (deadspace PvE, armour HACs or solo PvP frigate work, for example) then pump more SP into this skill -- together with Fuel Conservation it can lower AB cap consumption to pretty negligible levels.

Evasive Maneuvering
| Description |
Primary |
Secondary |
Multiplier |
| Improved skill at efficiently turning and accelerating a spaceship. 5% improved ship agility for all ships per skill level. |
Intelligence |
Perception |
2x |
| Prerequisite Skills |
NPC Price |
| Navigation II |
22,500 |
| Notes |
Affects every ship you fly, particularly important for specialisation in small ships and/or skirmishing/kiting tactics, but good for everyone. Level V is one of the prerequisites for interceptors.

Fuel Conservation
| Description |
Primary |
Secondary |
Multiplier |
| Improved control over afterburner energy consumption. 10% reduction in afterburner capacitor needs per skill level. |
Intelligence |
Perception |
2x |
| Prerequisite Skills |
NPC Price |
| Navigation II, Afterburner II |
27,000 |
| Notes |
| Has limited value in PvP, but it's particularly useful if you're flying a slow PvE setup and want to be capstable with an afterburner running. |
High Speed Maneuvering
| Description |
Primary |
Secondary |
Multiplier |
| Skill at using MicroWarpdrives. 5% reduction in MicroWarpdrive capacitor usage per skill level. |
Intelligence |
Perception |
5x |

| Notes |
The vast majority of PvP fits involve a MWD, so the vast majority of pilots train to use them.

Jump Drive Calibration
| Description |
Primary |
Secondary |
Multiplier |
| Advanced skill at using Jump Drives. Each skill level grants a 25% increase in maximum jump range. |
Intelligence |

Jump Drive Operation
| Description |
Primary |
Secondary |
Multiplier |
| Skill at using Jump Drives. Each skill level reduces the capacitor need of initiating a jump by 5%. |
Intelligence |

Jump Fuel Conservation
| Description |
Primary |
Secondary |
Multiplier |
| Proficiency at regulating energy flow to the jump drive. 10% reduction in ice consumption amount for jump drive operation per light year per skill level. |
Intelligence |

Navigation
| Description |
Primary |
Secondary |
Multiplier |
| Skill at regulating the power output of ship thrusters. 5% bonus to sub-warp ship velocity per skill level. |

| Notes |
Extra sub-warp speed on every ship you fly is a nice benefit for PvE or PvP combat, and is particularly important for pilots specialising in smaller ships. Many of the other skills in this category also require at least a few levels in Navigation.

Warp Drive Operation
| Description |
Primary |
Secondary |
Multiplier |
| Skill at managing warp drive efficiency. Each skill level reduces the capacitor need of initiating warp by 10%. |
Intelligence |

| Notes |
Dropping out of warp early because you don't have enough capacitor is inconvenient at best, and potentially quite dangerous if you're part of a PvP fleet operation. Training this to IV should solve that problem for all but the longest warps. Taking WDO to V is probably not a priority, but may help capacitor-hungry PvP pilots who want to arrive on the field with that extra sliver of available energy.
