Hi all
I'm considering myself a rookie pilot, especially since i've returned to EvE 2 weeks ago after almost 1,5 year of break (mostly due to health problems). Anyways ive created skill plan for myself in EvEmon and would like to hear some feedback bout it. After this plan, i'll focus on gunnery and then drones. After that, i havent decided yet...

Im assuming that you realise that a lot of the skills you have put in there have some hefty prerequisites that go with them; the hybrid specialisations for example.

Id personally stick to one particular ship like a cruiser and get good at it, which will by the looks of your plan might be Gal cruisers which you should train to 4.

For gunnery skills id consider these as a priority
Motion Prediction IV
Rapid Fire IV
Controlled Bursts IV (if you want hybrids)
Gunnery V

If you want to shield tank then you want:
Shield Upgrades IV
Tactical Shield Manipulation IV

Armor Tanking skills are fine with that plan.

F*ck cynos until you join a nullsec corp.

Also, dont worry yourself about targeting V for now and leave it at Targeting IV. With that you can still lock up to 6 targets which is ample for now.

Also if you want to use drones then drones V is a must (although i think its a requirement for something in there) and also Drone Interfacing IV as it does one hell of a damage boost to drones.

Im sure there will be plenty of flames and opinions on this though!

Oh and I forgot about a couple of cruicial ones if you dont want to be banging your head against a brick wall trying to cram all your mods onto your ship:

Engineering V
Weapon Upgrades V
Advanced Weapon Upgrades IV

EDIT: You may already have a load of these skills already if your char is not brand new. If he is then i'd suggest training the Core Competency certs to at least basic then some of standard then look at the recommended certs for the ships you want to fly to give you some idea what to look at.

thnx for answer...as for cyno, ive decided to just train it up since it will take only around 30 minutes, and ill have it for later. From this whole list , the only skills that have prereqs that i dont have yet, are cyno, and minmatar cruiser to II (want it for vigilant). Engineering is at V alreadym weapon upgrades is at IV atm, ill replace targeting with weapon upgrades, thnx for pointing out my mistake :) Ive actually have all the 'core' skills at V, only training electronics to V. Im mostly sticking to certificates to plan my skill queue. As for ships, im using dominix for lvl 4 missions, since i have over 2,3 mln sp in drones :) Crusiers will be next, but only to be able to fly Ishtar/Vigilant/Die-most (sry , Deimos :P). My ultimate long term goal is Proteus for pvp brawls and Nyx/Thana, cause i just love carriers :P And yeah, ill replace some irrelevant skills with those gunnery skills uve mentioned, thou motion/rapid/contr bursts are already at IV in my case :) thnx for advices
