Hi Guys

I have been playing on and off for a year, I have tried a bit of everything from joining a nullsec corp and losing everything to market trading. I have finally settled on some longer term goals which I would like to become proficient at:

  1. Efficiently run L4 missions with proper support skills
  2. Run DED sites in hi/losec
  3. Kill some sleepers in wormholes

With regards to skills as you can imagine I have a mess of skills with skill points all over the place, I have included an eve board link with my current skill set. Eve Board - Atreus Severasse

I have put together a skill plan which would allow me to become proficient in missiles, currently I am training cruise missiles to level 5 and thereafter boosting more support skills to be able to fly a Raven at IV according to ISIS; thereafter I plan on training up for a Tengu to do the more cloaky activities.My concern is that this skill plan which is around 282 days will make my skill set too narrow as to not achieve my other goals. I have also read that missiles require a large skill investment that cannot easily be ported to other non-caldari hulls.

Now before I make the mistake of focusing to heavily on a single area I would like to know if I should rather train the turret route which may allow for better flexibility and assist in achieving my goals; any advice pertaining to my current skills would be much appreciated.

I am able to fly a drake (T2 Shields, T1 Guns, T2 Scout Drones, average support skills) any suggestions for PVE related activities whilst I wait for the skills to get somewhere?

Thanks

Raven and Tengu will make you able to do the things above. Though in some cases another race might be preferred (for instance, you join a WH corp that lives in a WH that gives bonus to armor, its quite clear they likely will utiljze these bonuses by using Armor setups).

The missile crap you read is less accurate now. Check the dates as both Amarr and Minmatar now have missile ships too.

The thing they are correct on is that a gunnery support skill will affect Hybrid AND Lasers AND Projectiles. While missile support only helps missiles.

Drake as listed there;

Level 3 and some 4 missions
Highsec combat sites
Low level WH
