    I actually don't know if skills figure into Star Citizen. I haven't heard anything. If money is the only thing keeping someone from flying a well fitted ship then I am gonna be so happy. Good corporations in EVE were basically able to supply ships to its members at little to no cost. But not everyone could fly them because of skills. In Star Citizen maybe this will help to even things up.

    So far there is no Skill System in Star Citizen at all that I'm aware of

    I wanna say I remember Chris Roberts saying that one of the nice things about it was that there was going to be no Skill System and I want to say he specifically cited EVEs system as an example of what he does not want to do

    God I hate the skill system in EVE.

    if we can give good ships to cute newbees that will be the best.

    You can do that in EvE.

    It's just that most newbies don't realise how good they are.

    Fuck frigates. I want to fly in a battleship damnit.

    See, no idea what they're talking about.

    Can I make 300 million dollars a month in a frigate.

    No, you can do it fucking easily in a tech 1 gunned battlecruiser at the moment though.

    Like a low skilled talos or naga ratting guristas at the moment will get about 50ish an hour. My gunnery supports are maxed at the moment but I'm still using tech1 blasters, getting just shy of 100mil an hour.

    The only battleship that's actually worth ratting in at the moment is the Vindicator and only then if it's near max skilled (2 racial battleship skills to 5 fuck that lol) and fit to be 2-3 billion isk loot pinata.

    Or there's salvaging.

    Or mining.

    Man, salvaging and mining suck ass. And it took me too long to get into a battlecruiser. And when I did I couldn't afford to lose it so I was afraid of undocking it. Battleships were the main ship of any op. I didn't want to have to be at the periphery if I didn't want to and I wanted something powerful. I also wanted to fly an interceptor and that would take a shitload of time to skill up to as well.

    This is why it always sounded better to just be a fleshreaper pilot or whatever, swarming assholes with giant ships

    The problem I had with smaller ships is that I would get picked off very fast if someone targeted me and the lag was terrible so I couldn't really respond to it.

    I heard that the lag is a lot better these days

    It is, the servers have been upgraded and if the server starts struggling they slow things down to the point where it can keep up. This stops your commands getting lost in a queue somewhere and you getting murdered while loading grid.

    Yeah I keep almost resubbing but then I remember I didn't really play much.

    Although, I am trained up for covert ops and I heard probing is more like game and less like excel

    If that's what you wanna do, I'd hold off until the next expansion (like a month away). They're working on probing and exploration sites and what I've seen looks really good but I won't really know until it's in game. At the very least you can just click a button to put your probes in formation instead of dragging them around individually which will be nice.
