Effectively, that was quick. I solely hit 280 million talent factors again in August. Normally, even when I focus, there may be often a few seven month hole between these posts. However I checked out my characters this previous weekend and realized I used to be there.
The present state of talent factors – January 2026
I’ve been in a little bit of a push to get some expertise skilled during the last month or three, so I shouldn’t have a pile of unallocated talent factors sitting round like I did final time.
From the picture above, Wilhelm is barely quick 10,000 talent factors being displayed, and Escher Alias has 50,000 talent factors sitting unallocated. Percy has 1,189,953 unallocated talent factors. Including in these, which aren’t displayed on the login display screen, I can an account broad whole of virtually 410 million talent factors.
Wilhelm Arcturus - 290,151,750 Escher Alias - 89,442,489 Percy Dovetonsiles - 29,640,530 Whole - 409,234,769
You’ll discover that Escher is coaching in parallel with Wilhelm. That’s as a result of I purchased some Omega time once they had been tossing in some a number of character coaching licenses and I had some expertise I wished to get him into with out derailing plans for Wilhelm.
These plans had been helped alongside by beneficiant quantities of talent factors handed out by CCP as a part of two occasions, the Winter Nexus and the Crimson Harvest, together with the Catalyst enlargement. Put these on high of the day by day and month-to-month AIR alternatives talent level alternatives and it begins so as to add up.
As well as, I made a degree of utilizing all of the cerebral accelerator drops I bought for the 2 occasions, supplementing from the market after I ran out. And I used to be diligent in leaving Wilhelm in his excessive grade Amulet clone, which is +4 to every attribute for the complete set, each time I logged off again in our Keepstar in Insmother simply to maximise each second of coaching.
And what was my aim right here?
The Imperium introduced a brand new doctrine for the brand new 12 months. We’re going to undock and use carriers as a predominant fleet possibility. This happened as a result of adjustments to carriers that got here with the Catalyst enlargement, and I’m right here for it.
I’m right here for it as a result of I purchased a provider again in 2013 and haven fired a shot in anger with it since then. That was lengthy sufficient in the past that it pre-dates faxes, the change from drones to fighters, and the good large capital ship nerf that got here with the Phoebe replace. I used to be complaining I used to be restricted to leaping 14 gentle years and I in all probability solely had Soar Drive Calibration 4.
I went from 85-B52 to 0P-F3K in a single leap, one thing that will require a mid-point lately.
It isn’t that I haven’t used the provider. It made all of it the way in which all the way down to Delve after our defeat within the On line casino Battle, making the good crossing in Rakapas that separated these with JDC5 from the remainder of the pack, and has hauled sub caps and what to not varied deployments and has made the 2 extra migrations since then, first to Tenerifis after which to Insmother.
In any other case I by no means did provider ratting, again when that was a factor, or went on a capital op with it. I’ve in all probability refit the rattling factor 4 or 5 occasions over time, spending greater than I paid for the hull again in 2013 (1.2 billion ISK) a number of occasions over.
I feel I even have internalized how fighters work sufficiently to affix in on a provider op. I at all times neglect that you need to open up the navigation UI for the fighters… however I’ve practiced that sufficient occasions now that I bear in mind.
Anyway, that was the plan. So the place did the talent factors go? The teams with the asterisks are those that modified since final time.
Spaceship Cmd 92,003,842* Gunnery 37,046,432* Drones 25,636,935* Navigation 16,838,920* Fleet Assist 16,384,000* Missiles 12,550,911 Digital Sys 11,394,681* Armor 9,924,549 Engineering 8,939,855 Scanning 7,168,000 Neural Enhancements 6,882,275 Resc Processing 6,210,386* Shields 6,074,039 Science 5,714,282 Commerce 5,047,765 Planet Mgmt 4,352,000 Subsystems 4,096,000 Concentrating on 3,840,000* Rigging 3,209,100 Sequencing 2,058,211 Manufacturing 1,922,644 Construction Mgmt 1,458,138* Social 1,364,785 Corp Mgmt 24,000 Unallocated 10,000 Whole 290,151,750
Spaceship Command at all times will get some talent factors. There have been the brand new ORE mining destroyers that I put some factors into, if solely to have the ability to fly all of the subcaps. These additionally bought me to place some expertise into Useful resource Processing, although largely to get the mining crit means, which was tremendous helpful through the Winter Nexus occasion
Gunnery was probably devoted to Triglavian stuff. I needed to dump some saved up talent factors into that to make use of the Tech II entropic disintigrator for the Kikimora. I additionally put some factors in the direction of the Zirnitra, that being the favored dreadnought proper now. That was probably among the Spaceship Command factors as properly, the Zirn.
Drones… properly, that’s the place the fighter expertise are, and I wanted to make amends for these to have the ability to use the doctrine match.
Navigation… carriers have gotten some bonuses, like with the ability to conduit leap another ships in addition to with the ability to micro leap. I needed to make amends for these too. Fleet help and with the ability to enhance is a part of the doctrine. I had most of these as much as tech II already, however I had a pair to complete up.
Then there was Construction Administration, the place I put in a few ranges of Mercenary Den administration when that was changing into a factor. We’ll see if that could be a waste or not.
And, lastly, there may be Concentrating on, which noticed a rise, however I couldn’t inform you what. However I’ve all the talents there as much as V now, so it probably received’t change once more except CCP provides one thing there.
So there we go. All that, largely in pursuit of of possibly utilizing my provider some day.
And I nonetheless have sufficient queued as much as spherical out provider associated expertise that I’ll like keep heading in the right direction to 300 million talent factors. Then I’ll must see what CCP provides with the following enlargement.
As at all times, for many who wish to know the historical past of this put up… properly, the sequence goes all the way in which again to 2007.
Till the following milestone, fly… nevertheless it makes you’re feeling alive.
