=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. 

Intelligence and Perception help you learn to navigate your ship.

The following are the skills in the Navigation section (in alphabetical order):

=Skill Details=

{{Skill
|skill=Acceleration Control
|desc=Skill at efficiently using Afterburners and MicroWarpdrives. 5% Bonus to Afterburner and MicroWarpdrive speed boost per skill level.
|1=Intelligence
|2=Perception
|mult=4x
|pre={{sk|Navigation|III}}
|price=36K
|notes=More oomph from propulsion modules is good for anyone who ever uses propulsion modules, which is pretty much everyone.<br>
}}

{{Skill
|skill=Afterburner
|desc=Skill at using afterburners. 5% reduction to Afterburner duration and 10% reduction in Afterburner capacitor use per skill level.
|1=Intelligence
|2=Perception
|mult=1x
|pre={{sk|Navigation|I}}
|reqI=Tech 1 and Faction Afterburners
|reqII={{sk|Fuel Conservation|icon=yes}}
|reqIII={{sk|High Speed Maneuvering|icon=yes}}
|reqIV=Tech 2 Afterburners
|price=20K
|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.<br>
}}

{{Skill
|skill=Cynosural Field Theory
|desc=Skill at creating effective cynosural fields. 10% reduction in liquid ozone consumption for module activation per skill level. Can not be trained on Trial Accounts.
|1=Intelligence
|2=Memory
|mult=5x
|price=9M
|pre={{sk|CPU Management|V}}
|reqI=Cynosural Field Generator I
|reqV=Covert Cynosural Field Generator I
|notes=The required skill to light cynos for other people to jump their capital ships to. The higher you train it, the less fuel you need to light a cyno, and the less cargo space your cyno ship needs.<br>
}}

{{Skill
|skill=Evasive Maneuvering
|desc=Improved skill at efficiently turning and accelerating a spaceship. 5% improved ship agility for all ships per skill level.
|1=Intelligence

|reqV={{sk|Interceptors|icon=yes}}
|price=22.5K
|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 [[Frigate#Interceptors|interceptors]].<br>

|notes=Since the spool-up time of a MJD is 12 seconds, each level in this skill buys you .6 seconds {11.4, 10.8, 10.2, 9.6, 9}.  Currently applicable for battleships and battlecruisers, as they are the only classes that can fit the [[Micro jump drive|MJD]], and for command destroyers, who can fit the [[Propulsion_equipment#Micro_jump_drive_field_generator|MJFG]].<br>
}}

{{Skill
|skill=Navigation
|desc=Skill at regulating the power output of ship thrusters. 5% bonus to sub-warp ship velocity per skill level.

|price=18K
|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.<br>
}}

{{Skill
|skill=Warp Drive Operation
|desc=Skill at managing warp drive efficiency. Each skill level reduces the capacitor need of initiating warp by 10%.
|1=Intelligence
|2=Perception
|mult=1x
|pre={{sk|Navigation|I}}
|reqI=Tech 1 and Storyline Warp Core Stabilizers; Hyperspatial Accelerators
|reqII={{sk|Micro Jump Drive Operation|icon=yes}}
|reqIV=Warp Core Stabilizer II
|reqV={{sk|Jump Drive Operation|icon=yes}}
|price=27K
|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.<br>
