Skill training really isnt that bad now, other than letting you queue an extra skill i dont think it needs any work. The new changes to learning skills and starting sp make the newb experience alot easier, you can now realistically be in a T2 fitted interceptor after only 2 weeks of training, that makes you a great tackle and useful in basically all fleet combat. And the learning skills are down to prolly like 3 weeks of training max to get base5,adv4. At this point i guess they could add another tier of learning skills to help new players, but its already gay to have to train up the ones there are... Giving sp for missions would fuck over the 0.0 and mining/indie crowd way to much to be viable... as it is you are quickly useful to a fleet.. not as a main BS pilot but still.. i know in LV we need tackles as much or sometimes more than we need an extra snipe BS.

The UI is OK in some respects, in others its absymal. The chat interface really needs a massive overhaul, maybe when they get rid of local we will see the chat interface overhauled with stuff like /tell... i love the option to have seperate windows but its annoying that i dont have the option to combine them if i want to... theres some reasons like the new standings in chat to keep the system sorta like it is, but other than local it could be alot better.. the convo system is so unintuitive compared to tells or chat channels like wow has.
