Well this character is 1 month from being exactly 1Y old. My total SP by that time will be 17.5m SP. That is only using +3 implants. I guess that should give you some sort of indication what to expact. I didn't use the 'starter' packs though, so I didn't have a Cerebral accelerator available to me. You can probably add 1-2 mill if you purchase the starter pack and use that.

I get your drift, but I'm a bit lost by your remaps and so. I really can't see any reason to go int/per first. I would suggest you use int/mem first, as that will also apply to all your engineering, armor, shield, ... skills. The difference between int/mem and int/perc on navigation skills is minimal (120 sp per hour) and the benefit is that you won't have to remap when you want to do the rest of the support skills because lets face it, there are a lot more support skills than navigation skills.

After that you can use a Per/willpower remap to do weapons and spaceship command.

Personally, I did it the other way around. I trained weapons, frigs/cruiser to 5 first using a perc/wp remap, and then switched to support skills. Mainly because I didn't want to wait 6 months before having T2 missiles. I'm now still in my int/mem remap and will be for some time.

You can find my EVEboard here. As you can see, I'm pretty much finished with Engineering. I'm currently doing Mechanics and Hull upgrades and after that I'll go max out Shields and Navigation. Once that is done I'll probably do the scanning skills or maybe drones. When my next remap is available again I'll go back to Perc/Willp and train all the missile/gunnery support skills to 5. I'd like to keep my remaining bonus remap available. You never know when you might suddenly need it.

You need to keep in mind that if you use all your remaps early on, you will at some point be stuck in the same remap for a very long time. You want to make sure that the remap youre stuck with, is one that applies to skills you can train for that very long time. Generally int/mem and perc/wp are the ones you'll want. Unless you plan on training all drone / leadership skills in 1 go or something, I really wouldn't bother with another remap. At least not when starting out.

Just FYI, with +3s you will be training at 2520SP/hour. There are people who would argue that it's probably better to get +5s straight away. You'll train much faster. However, on a PvP alt +5s is quite an investment. +3s are reasonably cheap and easy to replace. Getting podded with +5 can get really expensive really fast.

If you're using EVEmon without the proper attribute remap settings it will just take the 2 most used ones. It's better to instead group the similar ones together and then you can just use the remap points instead. It'll save you a bunch of days and ultimately that's what remaps are for. You just need to make sure you make the most of them and don't waste too much time remapping for short skills.

That's why you can do guns and frigates first etc in the first remap and then use the 2nd one for your core skills. :)

This is sort of the skill plan I followed:

1rst Learning skills (which are removed from the game).
2nd Basic ship skills for a single race (to give you ships to fly and stuff to do).
3rd Hammer out the Core Skills hard (Int Mem for most of these).
4th Remap Precep-Will and train all the ship and weapon skills until your heart is content.
