What are Certificates?
Certificates are a very useful tool in EVE Online which offer benchmarks of skills, allowing players to more easily plan what skills to train for their chosen profession. I personally feel that this is the best tool to help new players deal with the massive skill system in EVE, and wanted to bring that same tool to Dust514. This is by no means an official certificate system, but it is heavily based off the official system in EVE Online. I will continue to update and improve this system as new skills are added, and will gladly take your comments and suggestions at [email protected]
Do I have to use these?
No. Certificates are simply guidelines for suggested skills and in what order to train them. Each certificate is not necessarily required to play a specific role, but they are designed around the skills necessary to equip the proper equipment and modules for that role. I have however made the diagrams in such a way that will allow you to print out this document and check off your progress as you skill up, allowing you to more readily keep track of your skills for certificates.
So how do they work?
Each certificate has up to four levels, Basic, Standard, Improved, and Elite. Higher level certificates require more training and build off the skills in lower levels, but also provide better support to that particular role. If youGÇÖre heavily specializing in a particular role, the Elite level certificate should be your end goal. Most certificates require certain skills at specific levels, these will be outlined in green; whereas some require other
certificates at certain levels, these will be outline in blue.
Where can I get information on these Certificates?
Right here! Below is a link to a Google Doc where you can download the PDF containing all of the certificates in an easy to use graphical form. I've found that viewing the PDF through Google causes some graphical issues, so please actually download the file to your computer. This will allow the PDF to display properly as well as give you access to the bookmarks within the PDF for easier navigation.
