Bare in mind, if you’re mapped with Perception maxed and the rest of your attribute points in Willpower, you’re still gaining 34 skill points per minute with the remap vs. 30 skill points per minute without the remap. So while it’s not super optimized, it’s still more efficient than without the remap.
I dont know why its flipped. My assumption is that they did this to slow down skilling into T2 ships instead of increasing the skill multipler. Especially since some of them are at 8 already… and training times would get gross at 9 or 10.
