Vehicle Electronics does apply a CPU bonus, there is nothing wrong with that skill.

Also, Vehicle Engineering does reduce the CPU usage of PG modules. My Engineering is at level 4 and a PG module that costs 15 CPU only costs me 12. That's a 20% reduction.

The only error is the skill description.

Do any tanks even have CPU issues? I only ever run into PG problems.

If it is true that the vehicle engineering skill effects the CPU usage of powergrid upgrades modules instead of increasing a vehicles powergrid output by 5%, then I want all of the SP I spent on tanks back. I read the skills very carefully before I skilled into tanks in order to make sure things functioned in an acceptable way. But this change is in no way acceptable. If this is true then you will no longer be able to properly equip a tank. If this is true and all of my SP is not refunded I will quit the game, because I took great precautions to make sure that I was applying my skill points into an area that I thought would be a viable roll in combat, but instead I was lied to and now, as a concequince, if this is true, will be stuck with a skill set that I no longer consider to be a viable combat roll.

Bump for tankers

So let me get this straight...

I spent an hour calculating "Can I build a reasonable Tank again?" with the skills AS THEY WERE LISTED and came to the conclusion "Yes, but it is very expensive." No problem for me, I love Heavy Vehicle Combat in games as it helps breakup the monotony of shooting people and am willing to really pay for it.

So there went like 3-4 million points into vehicles that are now utterly useless. It was not like I said "I want a Prototype Assault Suit again!"; I was careful and planned out everything. But because the skill was lying to me, I not only wasted an hour planning, wasted all those Skill Points, but now have the pleasure of being furious through no fault of my own...

Thank you for bringing this to my attention OP.

You've gotta be kidding, without the extra PG all tanks are seriously nerfed, if this is true you might as well consider tanks moved from endangered to critically endangered, I was willing to tank on despite proto AV still being massively over the tank but if i'd known you were hitting them with the nerf hammer again I wouldn't have bothered.

I've seen one link where it has been said that its a bug and they'll fix it soon and one where it was said that the description is wrong and the skill is supposed to say 5% reduction to powergrid module CPU use, which one is correct?

Hi all. I've been reading through and we appreciate your feedback.

You're right about the vehicle engineering skill. For the other posters, I'm assuming you mean the vehicle core upgrades skill?

The reason for lowering the overall bonus was to allow us to create a more varied difference in between our different vehicle roles within the same class. This will become more apparent in the future when we release even more roles with different slot layouts. We also want to make sure that new players have a fighting chance against more skill point rich players who can enjoy the benefit of compounding premium module bonuses in the same fitting. We'll be keeping a close eye on how this nets out in vehicle combat, and ensure that we still afford you the ability to create interesting and unique fits to compliment your combat experience.

Best regards,
- CCP Blam!

Thumbs up if your forgetting tanking and skilling into something else.
