Someone show me how they've changed the skillset?

Could do with some more detail on stuff like "Midlevel such and such", doesn't tell me what it actually does.

I'm sure it probably means "faster than someone with low level such and such".

I hate that they took away the specializations. I don't see the need for making it one. I will probably -never- use the pilot (what was) special skills. The reason I had so much in it was for the empath specialization.

Skill lists aren't meant to be posted on forums, are they?

Thought proficiency did that?

Edit @ Ilyarin: I know they have been before, and people referance to the scrying pool often enough which has them.

why wouldn't they be?

That used to be true, but it's no longer in the official forum rules at the top of the topic. (though maybe it falls under confidential information? but it doesn't fit the tone of what that covers.)

As far as I know, we still don't let skillsets get posted on the forums. I'm sure it'll only be shortly before Viynain has his site updated. I'd rather be safe than sorry for now though.

You can't see me, Eventru, but I'm shaking my fist at you.

Xiel's site is already updated.

Ah, thanks

Note that no skills were eliminated. You still have all your Empath skills. If you become proficient in the empathic grid and only use the empathic grid module then your aethercraft experience will be no different for you than before.

All this lets you do is use other modules in case you can't find someone to fulfill that roll. You won't be as good as someone who was proficient in them, but at least you can still have that module manned.

I see that none of the skills are gone, but its just half the fun was trying to find a crew with each of the specializations (at least to me, it was.)

Can anyone explain the new inertia thing in more detail?

As I understand it, the more you keep moving, the faster you can move. If you stop moving or make a turn, your ability to move above the normal speed is decreased.

These changes rock. Consolidating the skillsets really was a good change.

I'm finding that it's MUCH harder to turn now, but that may be due to lag, commands don't seem to be getting through at high speeds.

We've heard a few complaints of lag but we ran a lag check and there doesn't seem to be any in-game. Since not everyone is experiencing lag, it most likely is the internet.

Woot, now I might actually upgrade my manse into a ship... but not before I get me a whistle.
