Most all support skills are done and going to be training to medium AC Specs once Minnie Cruiser 5 is done. HAC's, HIC's, Recons are all days away once Cruiser 5 is done, and im not really worrying about battleship stuff so much ATM, ive done them in the past PLENTY(PvP Wise) and it doesn't really excite me so im going to wait for large AC Specs.

I know at least a few years ago, many people would suggest once you train Minnie that Caldari is an easy cross train. Do you still agree? I plan on just PvPing, no ratting is it viable to even cross train Caldari with the heavy missile change going through. and no intent to carebear? Or should i focus straight away onto Amarr? Should i worry about Missiles? At one time if you were Minnie you pretty much NEEDED missiles, but it doesn't seem that way anymore.

Remember PvP is my main focus here. Any input / suggestions greatly appreciated!

To be honest I would go for Destroyers and BC V at this point. New dessies probably will be fun after Retribution release and with racial split hanging around somewhere in the future you would be ready no matter when it comes.

Why you thinking about Caldari or Amarr, what about Gallente? With your nice gunnery and drones skills their cruisers and BCs could be fun. And never heard anybody complaining about their Myrm in pvp.

This.

Plus, cross training Minmatar and Gallente opens up a nice batch of Pirate Faction Ships (Dramiel, Daredevil, Vigilant, Cynabal, Vindicator, Machariel).

As said above, your immediate priority is BC V plus as many of the other Cruisers to 3 as you can. Then Destroyers.

After that I would absolutely recommend cross training at the medium ship level. Between T3s, HACs, Recons, Logis and Battlecruisers you have most of the best ships in the game at your disposal.

I can see where you might train shield comps to IV, because many Minny fits are shield based. (yes, I said many minnie)
And perhaps the rigging skills to IV.
These would all be Int/Mem skills and getting them to IV isn't very long at all.

Pump up some Nav skills to III and IV's. Also not very long.

Other than that, you can do ships and guns for months.
BC V
Destroyers V
Trajectory Analysis
Advanced Weapons Upgrades
Surgical Strike
Sharpshooter
Motion Prediction

Fit in other racial cruisers as you get the urge, but all in all you won't need to buy many more skills. Just improve the ones you already own.
What I see is a really nice, compact, skilled character sheet.
Good job so far.
