So I'm a newish player just doing some research into which style of play I want to take. So I've been looking through EVEmon trying to come up with a few things.

The hurricane would be mostly for ratting in nullsec. The cheetah would be for scanning/probing/scouting in fleet pvp, and just general scanning for plexes in PvE.

Cheetah: The plan here would be to train through Minmatar Frigate V and then remap heavily into Intelligence.

Minmatar Frigate I
Minmatar Frigate II
Minmatar Frigate III
Minmatar Frigate IV
Minmatar Frigate V
Afterburner I
Afterburner II
Afterburner III
High Speed Maneuvering I
Energy Grid Upgrades I
Energy Grid Upgrades II
Electronics Upgrades I
Electronics Upgrades II
Electronic Warfare I
Hull Upgrades I
Hull Upgrades II
Energy Grid Upgrades III
Electronics Upgrades III
Electronics Upgrades IV
Electronics Upgrades V
Electronics IV
Electronics V
Astrometrics I
Astrometrics II
Cloaking I
Covert Ops I
Cloaking II
Cloaking III
Cloaking IV
Covert Ops II
High Speed Maneuvering II
High Speed Maneuvering III
Covert Ops III
Covert Ops IV
Cynosural Field Theory I
Cynosural Field Theory II
Cynosural Field Theory III
Cynosural Field Theory IV
Cynosural Field Theory V


Posting Hurricane on next post.

Things you want to add and remove.

- Heavy Drone Operation (Don't need Heavy Drones for a Hurricane)
+ Scout Drone Operation V (Gives you T2 light and med drones)
- Caldari Drone Specialization (Yuck, Caldari drones suck - use Gallente for PVE)
+ Minmatar & Gallente Drone Specialization II (PVP & PVE drones - maybe Amarr if you're in Sansha/Blood Space)
+ Medium Artillery Specialization IV
+ Medium Autocannon Specialization IV (You'll want both for PVP)
- Standard Missiles (Don't need)
+ Energy Emission Systems IV (You'll want to be able to neut in a Hurricane for PVP)

Correct on HDO and SDO. Add DI 4 at least.

On the racials though.... Yeah, possibly nix Caldari drones. They're a lower priority than Gal/Min. But if you're cutting corners at all, do not under any circumstances train Amarr drones. Other than sentries, Gallente drones will always outperform Amarr drones against EM-weak rats. Ironically, Caldari drones will outperform Gallente drones against a much wider set (including Guristas and some Serpentis -- go figure).

Otherwise, yeah, BC 4 minimum. It's probably one of the first "long" skills I'd recommend buckling down and taking to 5 for relatively new players.

Depends on how new for BC V...for a 4-5m sp char that can already use T2 autocannons and field a full t2 armor tank AND t2 shield tank, along with t2 neuts and t2 light drones, then Yes train it to V. If not, train other stuff to V first. You can practically fit it all in there in the time it would take to get BC V from BC IV.
