OP,
1% is bollocking hyperbole. As pointed out by others there are many skills available to lv 3 that enable a lot content. In the first 90 days, 100-150 skills can be trained and that includes all 4 basic battleships. Lv 3 is at least adequate for practically any situation. As my memory is hazy now, it might be worth doing an experiment with a new toon, no remap and a complete set of +1’s to determine how many of the 400+ skills can be trained and how high in 90 days.
This is what happens when you short circuit the long training queues.
