Talk:Skill training
"For a rank 2 skill, these numbers are multiplied by 2; for a rank 3 skiil, they're multiplied by 3; and so on. A skill's rank never changes." "skiil" -> "skill"

There seems to be a slight error on the skill points required section:
Skill Points and Skill Rank
The skill points associated with a given skill is the total amount that skill will take to train to that particular rank. Your attributes will determine how many skill points per minute your pilot trains. A skill's rank is simply an indicator of how difficult it is to train - that is, how many points it will require to reach each level. For instance, a rank 1 skill has the following skill points per level:
- level 1 - 250
- level 2 - 1414
- level 3 - 8000
- level 4 - 45255
- level 5 - 256000
It should be 1415 for level 2... Furthermore, the numbers are not directly multiplied by the skill ranks.
The actual formula appears to be: Points required = CEILING( 250 * rank * 2^(2.5*(level-1)) )
Which results in 1415 points for a rank 1 skill at level 2, and to 2829 for a rank 2 skill at level 2.

Suggest change to SP/minute formula layout
Instead of "Points per minute = (primary attribute + secondary attribute/2)", I would suggest that "Points per minute = primary attribute + (secondary attribute/2)" would more reliably convey the relationship between primary and secondary attributes; it's possible for a quick glance to misread the formula as stated as 'the average of primary and secondary attributes'.
