Melee

No self-respecting nano-technician will ever be found with a weapon in hand. All weapon skills come hard to the nanotech, and by level 25, there is nothing you can carry that will match the power of your nuke programs. In the very early stages of your career, it may be useful to supplement nukes with the "newbie" weapons, but these have no skill requirements. Do not develop ANY melee weapon skills.

Misc. Weapons

Nano-technicians STILL don't use weapons, even bizarre ones like these. Ignore all of these skills.

Ranged

No, really. NO WEAPONS! No! No! Bad nano-technician! No gun! Nuke!

Actually, there is one exception to this. There are several "buffing pistols" out there that will increase useful skills like Intelligence and computer literacy. Common examples include the "O.E.T. Co." line or the "Galahad Inc T70" series. It may be worth developing some skill with pistols so that you can use these.

IP mod	Tutoring	Raise this to 1000 if you are a tradeskiller, basically this skill is solely for the use of Tutoring Devices. 1000 skill allows you the use of QL 200 Tutoring Devices. There is no bonus for having more than the required skill.

IP Modifier	Matter Metamorphosis	This skill is used by the crucial "Notum Harvester" line of nanos, as well as nano cost reducers and range increasers. Max this skill.
IP Modifier	Biological Metamorphosis	This skill is used only by the Enfraam's Fortifications, absorb shields, and intelligence/psychic buffs. Nice, but not crucial.
IP Modifier	Psychological Modification	Used by the int/psychic buffs, nano cost reducers, calms, blinds, and a small number of nukes. Useful.
IP mod	Matter Creation	This Skill Is Essential For Casting Nukes and doing nano damage. Max this. Use implants to boost it. Get skill buffs from friendly meta-physicists to increase it. Find any items you can that enhance it, and use them. This skill is your life.
IP Mod	Time and Space	This skill is needed for notum harvester nanos, AND for nano-recharge kits. Max this, or you WILL run out of nano before the bad guys run out of health.
IP Mod	Sensory Improvement	Used by blinds, calms, and nano reducers. Useful.
IP Mod	First Aid	Everybody needs First Aid, unless you've got a doctor on a leash.
IP Mod	Treatment	Everybody needs to maximize treatment, even if you DO have a doc on a leash. It's used to put in implants, for nano recharge kits.. oh, right, and also for sit-down health kits.
