I plan to train up two mining alts on my main and secondary account spanning around 2-3 weeks, implants included. How would such skillplans look? I'm not looking towards the hulk, more like wel skilled covetor or something in those lines. Aswell as t2 mining crystals for relevant ores in highsec.

Anyone got or could give me ideas what i should put in for such a skillplan? No need for refining or production as those will be done on a third account i'll also train into an orca eventually, but right now it's focusing on getting refining and production skills up.

Good day!

I don't think such skillplan exist - you need a minimum of 12 days to get into a Retriever (and that's with minimum performance with T1 strips) and up to 40+ days to get into a minimum performance Covetor. Saying that you want a well-skilled Covetor pilot with T2 mining crystal around 2-3 weeks (about 21 days?) is looking quite impossible when you look at the requirements above.

Just for your info, the skillplan for the Retriever is as follows:-

Cybernetics I (plug in +3 implants after finishing)
Industry I - V
Science IV
Mining III - IV
Astrogeology I- IV
Mining Barge I - III (at III you will be able to get into a Retriever)

Train Astrogeology and Mining Barge to V to be able to get into a Covetor.

21 days won't get you into a Covetor right now, I believe all the barges will require only mining barge 1 with the changes coming in about two weeks but you should plan for barge 4 at least anyway. Even going straight to a Covetor and strips miner 1's after the changes is probably over 21 days.

Adding t2 crystals for most high sec minerals will take you over 30 days total.

At this point you won't have trained a single support skill!

You'll need caps skills because the strips are hungry, some minimal navigation skills, at least a few shield tanking skills, you'll probably need fitting skills to get anything to fit on your barge, maybe some drone skills... you're looking at closer to 60 days for a mediocre miner.
