New patch tomorrow! Set long skills!

[Phildo]

Patch day starts at 0300 on the 10th, EVE time.

Is there an emoticon for Endie-sniping?

[Predator Irl]

I find this quite humorous:

A brand new Ramsan 500 has been added to our database server which allows us to have much faster storage. This means that we will see a number of improvements in the future that will shorten daily downtimes, result in faster expansion deployments, and reduce database lag.

Oh you CCP guys crack me up! 

[Pax]

The obligatory

Graviton Physics IV
Anchoring V

[Sir T]

Just when Meduim Railgun Spec 4 hits. Oh well roll on Capital ships 5... 

[Endie]

The obligatory

Graviton Physics IV
Anchoring V

Oh yeah I love this one.

Jump Drive Calibration V
Tactical Weapon Reconfiguration IV
Large Projectile Turret V
Advanced Spaceship Command V
Command Ships IV

Spot the odd one out?

Edit:

Attempting to re-board your own capsule when docked in a station will no longer start a 30 second cool down period before being able to board another ship. Now you can click on another ship in your hangar and board immediately.

Thank fuck.

Large Energy Turret 5

I want to know if it will still randomly crash the client.

[Yoru]

Sharpshooter V here. I never really got my gunnery skills up, and it was conveniently under my mouse. Also, I set it like 2 days ago. 

[IainC]

Command Ships IV
Electronics Upgrades V

[Phildo]

Drone Sharpshooting V!

[Thrawn]

Not really sure...I'm thinking -

Hull Upgrades V
Scrapmetal Processing V
Surgical Strike V
Jump Fuel Conservation V

Although I did notice a few of my alts don't have as much learning skills as I'd like so I may just do some Learning V instead on two of them.

[sanctuary]

Eidetic Memory V
Ice Harvesting V
Acceleration Control V

[Pezzle]

Cybernetics V
Warhead Upgrades V

[Pax]

I created a hauler alt on a spare slot - gonna create another hauler alt after the patch and compare training times towards freighters.
With some luck, it can be done within 2ish weeks 

[Jayce]

This patch forced me to finally create another account and roll up all the instant alts I need 

Current training:
Anchoring V
Signal Acquisition V (I wonder if it will be worth it with the probe changes)
Astrogeology V

[TripleDES]

Will be pretty hilarious to read the complaints from people who bought it from a retail shelf and can't log in because CCP fucked up patch day yet again.

[Morat20]

Advanced Weapons Upgrades V.

Only 6 days left, in fact. It's my "go to" skill for "I have a month left to complete this motherfucking thesis. I don't even log onto my computer at home anympre".

[Murgos]

Evasive Maneuvering V.  Inty's  here I come.

[WayAbvPar]

Cruiser V for Antolin (8 days until HACs!).
Not sure what I will train for Kaleeha yet....gotta check her skills again.

By the way, the improved training speed counts for all characters under 1.5m SP.  So one built before the patch may be in a slightly better position, though with a fair number of wasted skills.

[Goumindong]

AWU 5- Check
BS 5- Check
HAC 5 - Check
CS 5- Check
DI 5- Check
Drone Nav 5- Here i come!

[Murgos]

The blinking lights on ships and stations have been made larger.

Well, thank fucking god they got around to fixing that one.

Needs moar headlights if you ask me.

[Surlyboi]

I've got a five-day skill I just kicked in. 

[dwindlehop]

Antolin is not in HACs yet? How long of an Eve break did you take?

Energy Grid Upgrades V
They want me to snipe and I didn't have the heart to tell them no.

The real question this thread should be asking is what are you going to respec your attributes to? It's less than 24h and I still can't decide!

Currently leaning towards "make every skill (except charisma skills) train faster than they do now; don't worry about min/maxing". But then I think about the stuff I could train with 14 points in perc and will and I get antsy.

[Phildo]

I'm going to start hammering through leadership skills for the next two months and then drop charisma down to the minimum.  Looking forward to that!

[Teleku]

I'm not respecing because I was sure to make my char the perfect spec 

[ajax34i]

So what's the re-spec?  Start with 5/5/5/5/5 and feel free to distribute 15 pts?  That's what I heard.  That would be an extra attribute point. 

Max of +5 in any attribute?  That would be nice.

Does anyone know?

[Jayce]

I got someone one of those for Goon Secret Santa this year.

[Phildo]

Come to think of it, I might not bother respeccing for a while.  It would only give me three extra points to work with and would mean two months of leadership training that could go to greatly improving cap stability or tanking... hmm.

Yes to the 5/5/5/5/5, but you only get 14 pts (no extra point). Max of +10 in any attribute (that's the 15 you heard). So if you are a training a cap ship alt you can immediately go to 15 perc/9 will.

[Snee]

Wing commander 5. and me with a min charisma amarr. Oh well.

[Pax]

My alt is Vherokior with some 14 or 16 base Charisma - she will be continuing social and some trading skills for the next 3 weeks, then be respecced to Pereption and Willpower and rush towards BIG SHIPS and industry.
In a year I'll pump Charisma back up and go for leadership skills.

Main will only be adjusted slightly - some points in Charisma seemed like a nice thing to have on character creation 

[Reg]

I think I'll probably just balance my attributes and never think about it again.

[Endie]

Hey, it's our original Bat Country billionaire backer.

[Predator Irl]

I think I'll probably just balance my attributes and never think about it again.

I think I'll be doing the same Reg. Although my main has too much intelligence, which has helped me learn a lot of the skills needing that skill very quickly, so I might finish all intelligence related and then level everything.
