Hello fellow capsuleers,

This is my first character in EVE and after doing all agent tutorials (warfare, mining, exploration etc) I decided that the route I want to follow will be mission/incursion running along with salvaging to maximize profit and occasional PvP because everyone needs some excitement once in a while :)

I'd like comments and advice on my skills trained so far and on my short term plan also. I'd like to be very objective oriented in this planning to get this character running as fast as I can (obviously considering my very limited ISK ammount, I am running about 4M now)

I am amarr

And what is your plan?

If you take all the sand out of the box, only the cat poo will remain.

Run L1 missions on my punisher till I am able to proper fit and fly my Coercer and start L2 missions. This is the short term plan.

Long term I'd like to skill up and save money for L4 and incursions.

I believe you are doing something wrong. You may even ask the wrong question altogether.

It's not tooooooo wrong... if it comes after Hull Upgrades 5 and the various armor reinforcements, a better shield means more DPS needed before I begin to tank... alas didn't see any armor tanking skills in the plan.

It's becoming a habbit...: check out Louis' guide, it's the best start to your skillplan and keep in mind that flying Amarr means tanking armor.

EDIT: If any dev, mod, Leprechaun or whatever they're called could flag Louis' guide as sticky... I know they didn't notice the search field already, but it might still be worth the try... no?

Hmmm thanks. On my skill list you can see that I got hull up to 3.

And about the rest of it? Is it being to diversified or is it ok?

You are trying to race to t2 guns before you got your gunnery skills or you got the fitting skills to get t2 guns online. That wont work well.

hmm I see.

I've reworked my Plan queue. Trying to get fitting, core capacitor and energy turret skills before skilling to t2 weapons.


Does it look better?
