I would be OK with either the skill providing it's listed ability (a converegence system added) or a completely unrelated skill moved in to take it's place. But either way, it's shocking something this important is a worthless XP sink.

ex. HBK 4G could have 'ultra twist speed' 'AC recycle speed' 'internal structure +10%' 'head laser honour-tanking'
or whatever.

You know, I actually like that idea. Using skills to unlock 'mech quirks. Pretty cool and haven't seen it floated around here before, you should make a thread.
Personally I've always hated the skill system because every single 'mech having Speed Tweak just speeds up the whole game.

Useless thread, 1/10 because I felt the urge to answer.

Had not heard this, but at least it's a step in the right direction if true.

PGI: Oh my God because we have most of our team doing one thing the guys who aren't can't read a forum with ideas for.. 30 .. days away! We just don't have that good a memory!*

As for Fast Fire.. it it working as intended across the board. The AC/2 cooldown is 0.72. Fast fire drops that to 0.68. This is still above the 0.5 chain fire speed and is applied properly.
2 months ago. Very quaint.

If I'm recalling correctly, this is exactly how it was "pitched", back in the days of pillar-discussion... In short the skill system was supposed to directly enhance the particular role the mech chassis was designed around...
Blah..blah..blah... Something about best laid plans.

I could be remembering it wrong, but I believe it was Paul who said that it's going to grant a bonus to internals; not sure if he meant weapon health etc or just more overall HP for internals before being destroyed.
EDIT: Deathlike beat me to the punch, as usual:

Skills should either unlock quirks OR let you choose between 4 skill trees, one for each role. Each skill tree is the same for any mech, so it's up to you to make your hunchback a brawler or support.
This allows an easier to maintain system, player election and customization, and skills that make more sense.

Use piloting skills as a way to let pilots fit a role.
IE
Medium mech specialist. Bonus to xx in medium mechs
Recon specialist. Pilot receives bonuses to sensors and electronic equipment.
Scout. Speed adjustment in scout mechs
Stuff like that

I want it o be fixed to, but Russ has repeatedly told us that issues like this are on the back burner until CW is out the door.
Until then we are only likely to see things like hotfixes for HBR CT, etc. Borderline "showstopper" stuff.

Honestly I doubt you'll see a skill revamp for another 6 months because if Hellbringer hilariously broken hit boxes indicates anything CW will need a ton of fixes due to poor QC.

Meaning that Mech Skills could be yet another balancing factor beyond quirks to further empower lower grade chassis to match their betters (IE, giving the Summoner the leg up to match the Timberwolf and same with the Nova vs the Stormcrow,) being a means of enforcing role warfare and being a means of giving more customization to players.
Also the option to burn a skill to enable purchase of a previously locked out skill due to purchase limitations would mean that you would have a continued use of gaining XP for a mech.
