If you actually wanted to fly an Amarr Battleship with any success you would have to research a fitting and skills needed to efficiently run the ship. Each of the modules will have required skills. In order to put the ship together, you will need some basic ship fitting skills to meet the [[powergrid]] and [[CPU]] requirements for the ship. All together these skills will create a much larger plan. | If you actually wanted to fly an Amarr Battleship with any success you would have to research a fitting and skills needed to efficiently run the ship.

You can build a ship plan and have EVEMon figure out the skills needed to use the ship and all the modules. The ship plan can be built in | You can build a ship plan and have EVEMon figure out the skills needed to use the ship and all the modules. The ship plan can be built in EVE Fitting Tool ([[EFT]]) or acquired from [https://o.smium.org/ Osmium]. Import a ship from EFT by starting up EFT and creating a ship fitting. Next to the fitting name there is a ship icon with a drop down menu. Select copy to clipboard on that menu. Go to EVEMon and create a new plan for this ship. Select the EFT Import option from the top of the plan window. You can now paste the EFT ship into the new window if it is not already there. Add to Plan at the bottom will add the necessary skills to your plan. BattleClinic can be reached by going to the Ship Browser and selecting BattleClinic loadouts. Again at the bottom of the window is an Add to Plan button which will add the skills you need for that loadout to your plan. In all cases EVEMon will give you only the skills needed to use each module. You may still need to add some fitting skills so that you have enough [[CPU]] and [[powergrid]]. | ||
