Support skills: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

Support skills are those affect your proficiency at fitting and flying ships. While not necessarily being directly required to use particular modules or sit in certain ships, they are invaluble and can give you the edge you need to get the kill or survive the mission. For example, you don't need to train Controlled Bursts, Energy Management and ~~Energy~~ Systems Operation to put large lasers on an Amarr battleship, but, if you do so without training them you will find you swiftly run out of capacitor.

This is due to the exponential increase of training time as you train a skill.

Because of this, it is well worth it to train skills that affect many of the ships you pilot to level IV in the short to medium term. Training some skills to level V can take a long time and is often best left as a longer term goal or only worth training when they are required as prerequisites (for T2 ships, for example). However, some key skills with low training time multipliers give you such significant benefits that they're well worth training all the way to V -- [[Skills:Drones#Drones|Drones]], [[Skills:Engineering#Energy_Emission_Systems|~~Energy~~ Systems Operation]] and [[Skills:Navigation#Navigation|Navigation]] are three good examples, but are by no means the only ones.

When someone says they have 'good' skills in a certain category, they most commonly mean that they have most if not all of those skills trained to IV or V.

*'''Essential capacitor management skills''' - every pilot should train these to level 4 or higher and their importance can't be stressed enough for Amarr pilots with their cap intensive laser weaponry:

**[[Skills:Engineering#Energy_Management|Energy Management]]: 5% bonus to total capacitor capacity per level

**[[Skills:Engineering#Energy_Systems_Operation|~~Energy~~ Systems Operation]]: 5% cap recharge rate reduction per level

**[[Skills:Engineering#Energy_Systems_Operation|Capacitor Systems Operation]]: 5% cap recharge rate reduction per level

**[[Skills:Navigation#Warp_Drive_Operation|Warp Drive Operation]]: 10% reduction per level in capacitor use when initiating warp

*'''Module-related capacitor management skills''' - these skills reduce the capacitor requirements for various commonly used modules and are therefore useful for many capsuleers in many circumstances.
