the dread is the natural step up from sub cap in all races due to the weapon systems an personal choices as to what waste skills on, but due to it not beeing able to take with it anything its pretty much a no choice in the capital world unless you already have alts who can carry.
If that is how you feel, train for the Dread, then a Jump Freighter Lol

I would advise more modest goals in the medium term.

What a way to hurt a characters feelings.. You dont think it feels ****** enough knowing all the things it cant do?Ugh

I would presume that, accually planning the future is the first step, and putting in skills for the modest/medium term to a sertain degree that mid/long term acually meets up?

But out of curiosity id be glad to hear some elaboration on what modest goals for mid term are, if you care to share?

that hurts your feelings? just go step by step to what you want. for dreads just go up th line of battlecruisers, battleships, etc. for arriers focus on learning logistics with the new frigates, then t1 cruisers, t2 cruisers, etc

I would look to core certificates trained to elite along with being able to fly a battle cruiser and/or battleship and it's attendant weapons systems a more realistic long term goal.

One you could probably do for one race in a year time frame.

The bonus is that if you follow this path a lot of these skills are transferable to caps.

However, the bigger worry from my perspective is that it sounds like you have not learned a core lesson in EVE yet, bigger is often not better.

It is the ride, not the destination - also a good life lesson.

Cheers

Thanx Riedle, good ideology.

I`ll give this tread a couple of days more in the hopes that somebody gets past the 3 words in the topics name.

though. im not a cap pilot (yet. im training for it) . as far as i know from online research. and the fact that i asked alot of capital question in my newbie days back in tribal alliance. i can say that Carriers are far more useful even tough in a 1vs1 Carrier vs Dread battle. the dread would win.
why? because the carrier can do so many diffrent things. let me make a list of all that i know it can do
1. transport ships to a battlefield.
2. serve as a refit station
3. long distance repairs.
4. WH living
5. ultimate drone boat
6. mining support when Ocras are not an option
7. hide in a safespot and help gate camps
now i will make a list for dreads.
1. POS killer
2. Capital killer

yes a long list of why, and a short list why not. so it only is a supplemental capital to be thrown in the dock to gather dust
