Skills:Gunnery
From EVE University Wiki

Gunnery skills let you use Eve's three varieties of turret (projectile, hybrid and laser) and make those turrets more effective. These skills will be important for PvE and PvP combat unless your character is purely specialized in drones or missiles.
The Gunnery category also contains two skills of interest to missile users: Weapon Upgrades and Advanced Weapon Upgrades make fitting any weapon, including missile launchers, easier, and are very useful fitting skills.
Support skills
Gunnery
Basic turret operation skill. 2% Bonus to weapon turrets' rate of fire per skill level.

30k ISK |
 Alpha max level:
|
V |
 Prerequisites:
|
none |
| I required for:
|
All turrets; Small Hybrid Turret; Skills:Gunnery#Small_Projectile_Turret; Skills:Gunnery#Small_Energy_Turret |
| II required for:
|
T2 light turrets; Rapid Firing; Sharpshooter; Motion_Prediction; Controlled Bursts; Weapon Upgrades |
| III required for:
|
Certain large/heavy turrets; Caldari Offensive Systems; Medium Hubrid Turret; Medium Projectile Turret; Medium Energy Turret |
| IV required for:
|
Surgical Strike; Trajectory Analysis |
| V required for:
|
Certain large/heavy turrets; Amarr Offensive Systems; Gallente Offensive Systems; Minmatar Offensive Systems; Capital Energy Turret; Large Hybrid Turret; Large Projectile Turret; Large Energy Turret; Capital Hybrid Turret; Capital Projectile Turret |
 Notes:
|
The base skill, usually somewhere in the prerequisites of the other gunnery skills. The low training time multiplier and the useful rate of fire bonus would probably justify turret users training it to V even if it wasn't a prerequisite. |
Controlled Bursts
Allows better control over the capacitor use of weapon turrets. 5% reduction in capacitor need of weapon turrets per skill level.

IV |
| Prerequisites:
|
Gunnery II |
| Notes:
|
A vital skill for anyone using hybrid turrets or (especially) energy turrets. No use for a pilot who only uses projectile turrets. |
Motion Prediction
Improved ability at hitting moving targets. 5% bonus per skill level to weapon turret tracking speeds.

| Price:
|
90k ISK |
| Alpha max level:
|
IV |
| Prerequisites:
|
Gunnery II |
| III required for:
|
Small Autocannon Specialization; Small Blaster Specialization; Small Pulse Laser Specialization |
| IV required for:
|
Medium Autocannon Specialization; Medium Blaster Specialization; Medium Pulse Laser Specialization |
| V required for:
|
Large Autocannon Specialization; Large Blaster Specialization; Large Pulse Laser Specialization |
| Notes:
|
Having your turrets tracking as fast as possible is quite important; turret users should consider training this to IV to be an important short/medium-term goal, and in the long term it may be worth training it to V. Motion Prediction is also one of the prerequisite skills for T2 short-ranged turrets (autocannon, blasters and pulse lasers). |
Rapid Firing
Skill at the rapid discharge of weapon turrets. 4% bonus per skill level to weapon turret rate of fire.
| Attributes:
|

| Price:
|
60k ISK |
| Alpha max level:
|
IV |
| Prerequisites:
|
Gunnery II |
| Notes:
|
A 4% rate of fire bonus is effectively a DPS boost of slightly more than 4%. Levels IV or (later) V should be on turret users' skillplans. |
Sharpshooter
Skill at long-range weapon turret firing. 5% bonus to weapon turret optimal range per skill level.
| Attributes:
|
|
| Multiplier:
|
2x |
| Price:
|
100k ISK |
| Alpha max level:
|
IV |
| Prerequisites:
|
Gunnery II |
| I required for:
|
Small Railgun Specialization; Small Beam Laser Specialization; Small Artillery Specialization |
| IV required for:
|
Medium Artillery Specialization; Medium Railgun Specialization |
| V required for:
|
Large Artillery Specialization; Large Beam Laser Specialization; Large Railgun Specialization |
| Notes:
|
Optimal range is important for most turret users, and particularly important for sniper fits, though it's less significant for autocannon because they have very short optimal ranges. Minmatar pilots will still want to train this to help their artillery, though. Sharpshooter is one of the prerequisite skills for T2 long range turrets (railguns, beam lasers and artillery). |
Surgical Strike
Knowledge of spaceships' structural weaknesses. 3% bonus per skill level to the damage of all weapon turrets.
| Attributes:

1.5M ISK |
| Alpha max level:
|
IV |
| Prerequisites:
|
Gunnery IV |
| Notes:
|
The raw damage bonus is nice, and especially good for fits focused on a high alpha strike. But the higher training multiplier than many of the other gunnery supports may make this less of a priority. |
Trajectory Analysis
Advanced understanding of zero-G physics. 5% bonus per skill level to weapon turret accuracy falloff.
| Attributes:
|
|
| Multiplier:
|
5x |
| Price:
|
250k ISK |
| Alpha max level:
|
IV |
| Prerequisites:
|
Gunnery IV |
| I required for:
|
T1 and Faction tracking computers |
| IV required for:
|
Tracking computer II |
| Notes:
|
More falloff is nice, but not as important as more optimal so most pilots can train this to III and then come back later to add on IV or V. However, Minmatar pilots may want to prioritise this skill since most of the range of autocannon is falloff. |
Weapon Upgrades
Knowledge of gunnery computer systems, including the use of weapon upgrade modules. 5% reduction per skill level in the CPU needs of weapon turrets, launchers and smartbombs.

V |
| Prerequisites:
|
Gunnery II |
| I required for:
|
T1 and Faction damage multiplier modules |
| IV required for:
|
T2 damage multiplier modules |
| V required for:
|
Advanced Weapon Upgrades; Heavy Assault Ships; Heavy Interdictors |
| Notes:
|
Note that this skill also applies to missile launchers (rockets / missiles / cruise missiles / torpedoes) and smartbombs and not just guns. A very useful fitting skill which every combat pilot should train. Level V can seem like a long train, especially for a new player who hasn't trained for T2 equipment yet, but it's a prerequisite for the excellent Advanced Weapon Upgrades. |
Advanced Weapon Upgrades
Reduces the powergrid needs of weapon turrets and launchers by 2% per skill level.

III |
| Prerequisites:

Weapon Upgrades V; Gunnery II |
| V required for:
|
Doomsday Operation; Marauders; Tactical Weapon Reconfiguration |
| Notes:
|
Note that this skill also applies to missile launchers (rockets / missiles / cruise missiles / torpedoes) and not just guns. Weapon Upgrades V is a long prerequisite, but the cumulative effect of WU V and AWU to IV really makes a difference to fitting, especially when you start encountering the greater fitting demands of T2 equipment. |
Tactical Weapon Reconfiguration
Skill at the operation of siege modules. 50-unit reduction in strontium clathrate consumption amount for module activation per skill level.
