Overview

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.

Perception and willpower will help you to master your guns.

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

Support skills

  Gunnery

Basic turret operation skill. 2% Bonus to weapon turrets' rate of fire per skill level.
  Attributes:   
  Multiplier: 1x
  Price: 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 Hybrid 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.
  Attributes:   
  Multiplier: 2x
  Price: 100k ISK
  Alpha max 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.
  Attributes:   
  Multiplier: 2x
  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:   
  Multiplier: 2x
  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' skill plans.



  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
  III 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:   
  Multiplier: 4x
  Price: 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.



  Tactical Weapon Reconfiguration

Skill at the operation of siege modules. 50-unit reduction in strontium clathrate consumption amount for module activation per skill level.
  Attributes:   
  Multiplier: 8x
  Price: 25M ISK
  Alpha max level: Alpha pilot can not train this skill.
  Prerequisites: Advanced Weapon Upgrades V
  I required for: Siege module I
  V required for: Siege module II
  Notes: Only of interest to dreadnought pilots.
