This can seem counterintuitive, since while in many other MMORPGs most of the value of expensive equipment is in the power of its inherent bonuses, in Eve most of the value of expensive equipment is in its ''potential'' power in the hands of a character with enough skill training to get the best out of it.

~~The cheaper~~ Tech 1 frigates and cruisers are much more forgiving, and can actually have a bigger impact than more expensive ships if you don't have many skillpoints (as anyone who's been jammed by a two-week old character in a Griffin can testify).

Since new pilots are often told they need 'good support skills' to fly such-and-such an expensive ship without being told exactly what those skills are, this page attempts to suggest what training qualifies as 'good' in different circumstances. (Wish us luck!) This page also lists some particular categories of support skills for ease of reference, and contains links to other lists of support skills on this wiki.
