Editing Skills and Implants (section)

===Skill Planning and Management Resources===

There are several utilities available to assist in tracking and managing your skill training. These range from simple skill queue adjustments to long-term planning with simulations and optimizations. 

====The EVE Portal Mobile App====

There are a lot of compliments and criticisms about the EVE Portal app available for phones and tablets. Whatever its other successes and failings might be, the ability to rearrange your skill queue by dragging and dropping on a touch screen is a very nice feature. It's also very convenient for adjusting your skills as you browse through website guides and articles, without having to open the EVE client and keep it running.

You can also acquire and use skill injectors through the app, and also inject new skills by paying a nominal amount of ISK in lieu of purchasing a skill book through the market. 

If you have the Omega perk of creating a skill queue that stretches beyond the next 24 hours, you can add up to 50 skills that you plan to train eventually, just to have a list of sorts that you can sift through as you go along.

====EVEMon for Windows====

EVEMon is an open source tool for the Windows OS, and can also be run by most emulators or using a virtual machine for Linux and Mac users. Skill queue monitoring and management is available, as well as developing skill plans and other useful features. The installers and binaries are available for free at [https://github.com/peterhaneve/evemon/releases/tag/4.0.20 EVEMon at Github].

One of the most useful features of EVEMon is adding prerequisite skills automatically. If you add a skill to your plan without having all the prerequisite skills, the software will fill the missing skills in for you. This is also possible by selecting a ship or fitting that you want to fly, and having the software build a skill plan with all of the skills required for that equipment. 

EVEMon can also test the effects of attribute changes and neural remaps, and can even suggest a remap based on the skills you have chosen. Bear in mind that the suggested remap is specific to the skills selected, and isn't necessarily the best option if you plan to adjust your skills mid-plan.

====EVE-Skillplan.net====

[https://www.eve-skillplan.net/ EVE-Skillplan.net] is a free browser-based skill planning utility, with the option to directly import your character information, or to create a plan from scratch. The plans can support advanced optimization, including adding neural remapping and implant selection. 

A particularly useful feature is the ability to change your attributes on the fly, with immediate feedback telling how much time would be saved with the new numbers. Considering the usual diminishing returns involved with most upgrades in EVE, being able to assess the difference between a +4 implant and a +5 implant (at 10 times the cost) is well worth it.

====PYFA (Python Fitting Assistant)====

While not specifically a skill management utility, PYFA, the Python Fitting Assistant, allows you to examine various fitting options for ships and equipment without having to actually buy ship hulls and modules. Its benefit for skill training is the ability to adjust your skills and see the effect on a ship fitting. For example, you can adjust the Spaceship Command and Evasive Maneuvering skills to see how they work with different modules to optimize your align time. 

PYFA is a free and open source tool available through [https://github.com/pyfa-org/Pyfa PYFA at Github], with versions for Windows, Linux, and OSX.
