Skill Discussions

Hey,

So the last few months I been training random skills without aim. I would like advise on what I missed, I plan on working navigation for a bit but I feel like I skipped some important skills.

Thanks

Well I been aiming towards pvp mostly in t1 cruisers to see how it goes from there. My goal is to be a sub battleship all around player (t1) and branch out from there.

Finish training your subsystem to 5.
Shield upgrades to 5, very handy for squeezing on a lse instead of a meta 4 extender on some fits.
Train rig skills to 4, some have fitting benefits and also allows you to fit T2 variants.
Train all compensation (shield and armor) skills to 4.
Train thermodynamics to 4.
Train AWU 5.
Maybe all frigs to 5 then cruisers to 5.
You probably should have trained BC to 5 before the skills change as training them all now will take some time, so do that.

If still not sure after that, train all currently trained skills to 4.

My 2 isk

I agree really, you seem to have all the needed skills. You just need to get the next levels of the ones you use the most.

Get the weapon support ones to V (either missiles or gunnery, what ever system you prefer using the most), get the rest of the shield skills to V, get your sensor compensation skill trained up. You should do Advanced Weapon Upgrades to V as well. There's a little bit of work to be done on the navigation skills. A nice one to get to V as well, is Thermodynamics. Sometimes it does mean the difference between a kill or a loss. :P

In small cruiser combat, weapon disruption and tracking disruptors are nice to have as well, so I would train that to IV at least. Rigging skills to IV will help you fit tech II rigs.

If you plan on using drones, you have a few months worth of training ahead of you there as well. Drones V, Scout drones V and Drone Interfacing V being the main ones there. Electronic Warfare Drone Interfacing V is nice to have as well.

You have all of these skills already though, so just get EVEmon (Available on BattleClinic here) and set up a nice plan for yourself to train these skills up further. :)

What do you want to actually do?

You're actually fairly well rounded already, but there are lots of 5's that I'd go for in there (I love my 5's).

I'd take the T2 ship skills to 5 as they make a massive difference... Interceptors, Logi etc etc.

If you're going to stick with Missiles then I'd certainly put 5's in the supports or like someone else said, put 5's into gunnery supports. It's important, in my opinion, to have all 5's in at least one weapon system supports.


You really need to give some thought to what you want to fly. The path you choose now will be a good 3 month program so you want to make sure it's in the right direction. The way I see if you have a few options (add T2 ships to 5 to relevant choice):

Missiles and Navigation
Gunnery and Navigation
Logistics
Ewar (warning, this is awesome, but massive sink).

Thanks for the advice guys, I decided to start specializing rather than have lots of half trained skills.
I'm sure the wait will be worth it in the end.

Throw some focus into your navigation skills . They might be a little boring to train but it really makes your ships, all of your ships, much more fun to fly. You'll enjoy being more agile, faster, and doing so with less cap wastage
