Well, OK, so I jumped the gun a bit on the title (7:30 PM here), but soon the server's 24 hour DT will start and we'll all get some new and rebalanced toys to play with when it comes back up.
So the question is... What are you training for the patch downtime?
My alt's still got 25 days left on Gallente Freighter V so that's not an issue. My main is training Small Hybrid Turret V, since even though I've been playing a year and a half I still can't shoot straight. 
Comments
Main: Caldari Battleship V (only 39 days left!)
Alt: Minmatar Cruiser V (27 days left)
Large Pulse Laser Specialization 4.
On both accounts
I'm going to ride the wave of stupidity, shortest skill on my accounts is 3 days. Wooohaaah adrenaline rush!
Minmatar Cruiser V which will be followed by Caldari Cruiser V which will allow me to fly every ship up to BC's including T2 in the game.
Account Cancellation V.
Thank you, CCP, for making battleships useless without a blob and for making solo PvP impossible in anything but a frigate.
In other news, I missed out on my chance at having one last uber fight because I had a customer who called in right before I was about to punch out and go home. I really want to kill something right now...but I'll never get that chance again.
4 years of subscription down the drain. Game over, man! Game over!
Fuck.

I actually had to scramble to get my skills changed. I didn't know it was a 24 DT. Add tot hat, 2 were in JC's and have no implants so I wasn't fussy about switching from short skills but you do what you must I suppose.
Capital Ship Construction 4 : 5 Days 23 hrs
Science 5 : 1 Day 11 hrs
Advance Weapon Upgrades 4 : 3 days 9 hrs
Jump Drive Ops 4 : 4 days 2 hrs
I suppose there is the outside chance Science 5 might lose some train times but I am not too worried about any of them really.
Go Stealth Bomber. Everyone will hate your guts but who gives a shit?
I am going to see what I can do with a Black Ops after the patch. I just need corp in high sec. Cost of failure is too high.
Well, to answer to the point of this thread, I will br training Astrogeology to level 5... it's already been running for a few days anyways. I'm sure there is a gripe forum though, I'm sure your comments will be more appropriately responded to with like minded folks. Sure there are nerfs, there are always nerfs. For a change though, this patch brings some welcome changes. Balancing of speeds is frankly a hugely welcome change (to all but those who have specialized in extreme speed tanks of course). Overall most of the changes should balance out the game, which for my 2 cents is a nice change from what CCP has been doing lately.
However, I digress as I should take my own advice and move this comment to a more appropriate outlet. At least next time detail your reasoning for those that missed what may have caused your grief.
It'll at least make you sound reasonable instead of whiny.
Thanks for your time all,

Poor baby lost his solo pwn-mobile.
Adapt or GTFO. Stuff like this separates the boys from the girls. We see where you stand.
-------------------------
Just read the final patchnotes from the EVE site and I'm in awe, for an indy expansion there sure is a lot of good stuff coming our way. Only thing I'm missing is "centre view point on ships have been set back to where they should have been", quite annoying to have to zoom out all time the when scanning but at least stations will show up now.

Yip, so called tough uber PVP guys can only perform if the odds are stacked in favour of them, lets see which FOTM those badass PVPers will flock to.
I will be training Marauders IV.
I have no cencept of FOTM so I simply go with the type of ships I find pwetty and fun. That has always ment Minmatar ships and after the patch I will go buy my self a "super duper" Vargur.
Spoken like a true no-skill blob-lover. Its you and your ilk who always say "adapt or die" because you can fly just about anything and still be successful just by shooting the primary, never realizing that folks who enjoy flying solo or in very small gangs find it amusing when you start claiming to be "l33t" despite the fact that your play style requires just about zero player skill unless you're the FC.

I see you never trained Reading Comprehension past level 1. How is engaging 1-v-1 or even when outnumbered 3-to-1 or 4-to-2 stacked in my favor, again? I've got fraps of both of those and more, thank you very much - and that's with battleships that are slow and easily tackled, not nano.
In other news, you really are an idiot.
Thank you, come again.

3-1 wow, you're so special. Thing is, it's YOU with the emo whines, not me.
[sarcasm]Yes, and people should never protest acts of injustice or blatant disregard for others. They should just bend over and take it up the ass like good little corporate drones.
[/sarcasm]
Seriously, please get a clue. When you're being screwed over you have every right to complain and to do something about it. Me, I'm likely going to be voting with my wallet and cancelling my account. If I and enough others do that at once then CCP will pretty much have to acknowledge that they screwed up and then do something about fixing things.
In the end, the only method people have to change things when confronted by corporate disregard is to vote with their pocketbooks.

On that you are correct, but why the emo whines like you're a 1 month old miner who just got can flipped? Besides blasters still work, just switch mega for a Hype if you want to solo. Apart from that, did you emoragequit when Amarr had it difficult or did you laugh and smile at the easy kills?
If you tell your dead targets to L2P like a big man then now's the time to show you ARE a big guy and can adapt.
Mining Barge V - 50 days
I'll wait....
Blasters still work? Quite aside from the fact that I don't fly Gallente (I fly everything else), the mega and the hyperion will not be able to solo effectively. Quite a few Gallente pilots have tested this on SiSi and proven it beyond a shadow of a doubt. My own testing with the other races' short range BS has achieved similar results.
As far as the Amarr comment, it seriously does not follow. Amarr being sub-par for some time does not equate to all battleships (except the domi) becoming largely useless without a blob and solo PvP being pretty much totally destroyed unless you enjoy frigates.
Moreover, telling someone "L2P" does not a big man make; instead, it's more of a juvenile 15-year-old comment.
As far as adapting, this isn't real life. EVE is a game, and people stop playing games when they no longer find them fun. Funny how that works, isn't it?

edit: on one of my alts evemon say 25 days whit max learning and no implants
BestSigEver :P
My Tempest will do just fine, besides if BS stop being viable as a solo option then hop in a commandship or a plain BC. I seriously don't see the problem but then I must admit I'm not a fan of sluggish BS's anyway. BS's should never have been solo machines because that makes most other shiptypes irrelevant, now we'll see more diversity which is good.
Also; you're applying pre-QR tactics and logic to post-QR situations. Things will change, people will adapt and fly other ships or fit them differently which in turn creates new possibilities.
mining foreman V (yay orca) - 10 days
assault ships IV (yay assault frigs not being totally useless) - 3 days

Now thats the spirit!
Currently Playing: AO and FE.
It's funny because the patch doesn't stop soloing, it just reduced overpowered ships. You arn't mad because you can't solo, you're mad because you don't have an overpowered jack-of-all trades ship anymore.
Don't be a tool.
-------------------------
my alliance spend a lot of time raiding a rival who are notorious for blobbing up. they have a jumpbridge network and capships out the wazoo. without nanoships thats just become harder.
perhaps you might argue, they have invested all this time into jumpbridges, caps, and recruiting blobfodder, so they deserve to be nigh on invulnerable, but i would disagree.
im sure we will continue to find success, but its going to take a lot more effort.
I can't believe nobody has done this yet, and since emo rage quitters can't really feel they've made the impact they were hoping for until the question is asked, I'll do it as a service toWrayeth and to the community.
Can I have your stuff?
There, feel better?
