Somebody will write a 3rd party planning tool that will do what you're asking. EVEmon does this for our space bros.

cant you just act like your going to spec in it and go to lvl 3 or 4 or whatever and it will tell you? so if your going to go into drop suit lvl 5 then click it in the skill tree and raise the lvl (right on the dpad) and it will tell you, even if you don't have enough.

I really don't like sharing my secrets with you nubs but this already exists to some extent.

If you look in the market for an item there are multiple columns. One of them being SP. It tells you how much SP it will take you to get the necessary skills to use an item.

You're welcome.

Does anyone else feel the need for a more efficient skill allocation system?

What I mean by this is that you would be able to see how many Skill Points it would take to do certain things.

This way Unallocated SP will be more manageable. Currently in-game there is no way to see (say from Weaponry Level 2) how much SP it will take to get Weaponry Level 3-5, Heavy Weapon Operation Level 3, and Forge Gun Operation Level 1.

Currently the only way to see how much SP it will take to do what you need to is to do some math (seriously who likes doing that), or to just do it and see how many SP it took.

Implementing this SP Assigner separate from the Skills List on either these Forums or In-Game (preferably both) will allow people the convenience of seeing just what the can Specialize into with their current SP without actually allocating it, ending much confusion and calls for further respecs.

Also, this assigner should take into costs in ISK of SkillBooks needed. For example, I want Vehicle Command Level 3, Gallente LAV Level 4, and Gallente HAV Level 1, but am super noob and don't know if I have enough points and/or ISK to do so. The Skill Point Assigner/Allocator will show you show SP: 3,450,000, ISK: 1,200,000

Any thoughts?

Edit: This would also be extremely useful for Tank/Dropship fittings, as you could look at all the different combinations of ways to make your vehicle before investing points in something you later decide isn't necessary.

Edit 2: For tanks/ dropships, simply pick which tank/DS you would like to fit. (Depending on your current skills, an SP and ISK amount will display on the screen) Continue fitting your vehicle as you would like from a list of EVERY vehicle mod. Watch as the total SP and ISK of your fitting adds up, allowing you the visual of seeing where your SP is going.
