Skill Discussions

I would only like to be extending the sub one more month before I transfer this character over to my main account. I have my trade skills where I want (trading will be situational, just selling items when getting items to market from a WH). I mainly just want this character doing PI within W-space.

My Skill Sheet


And, my current plan:


Command Center Upgrades V
Interplanetary Consolidation IV
Interplanetary Consolidation V
Science IV
Planetology I
Planetology II
Planetology III
Planetology IV
Advanced Planetology I
Advanced Planetology II
Advanced Planetology III
Gallente Frigate I
Gallente Frigate II
Gallente Frigate III
Gallente Industrial I
Gallente Industrial II
Gallente Industrial III


This is 36D 22H. I am very tempted to sub 2 months giving me 70 days (ONLY to get into an itty 5), however, this depends highly on irl expenses, so for the purpos of the post, 40 days is my limit.

Is there anything you would add or take away?

Makes a big difference in the long run. Run some missions.

Advanced Planetology is the only one that can increase your profit directly, I took it straight to V on my alt so I don't have to worry about having suboptimal yields.

If you will be using the same character to haul the PI products from wspace to the market, I would consider:

Cloaking I
Hull Upgrades II
Warp Drive Operation I
Astrometrics I

to fit:

- Prototype Cloaking Device I
- Expanded Cargohold II (or Inertia Stabilizer II)
- Warp Core Stabilizer I
- Scan Probe Launcher

Leveling Navigation and Spaceship Command and adding Evasive Maneuvering will help a lot with the agility of industrial ships, making flying a lot faster, which translates to safety in wspace. Rigging skills to increase cargo space / speed are cool, but you can of course rig a hauler for the alt with your main. Then some shield skills.... yeah the list goes on and on, but speed, hefty buffer and warp stabs might save you from a solo attacker. Speed saves your time anyway.

ymmv, my alt is training uber shield skills to tank her new Prowler :D

Hull Upgrades II
Astronautics Rigging I

This will turn your Itty 5 into a hauling beast and the more you can carry the less trips you have to make from planets to station. If you have time Spaceship Command and Evasive Maneuvering would be nice but not necessary for this character. Although they will help minimize the time you spend at customs offices which is a dangerous place if you are taking him into wormholes.

You may want to look into trade skills unless you are just going to rely on what is currently available.

As far as social skills for standings I wouldn't worry about that. Fleet with your main account or a friend and share mission rewards.

Well, it looks like I will be able to extend the sub further. Im getting rid of another character of mine which will allow me to close an account (just a production alt Ive never really had a use for lol). I suppose this would be a good time to go for an Orca to use as a mobile base.

Guess this means I have a lot more options as well seeing as I have one less account to pay for rather than finishing this one up as quickly as possible.

It always makes me feel a bit better to see GM/Dev responses, showing they know how to play their game.
