As for me i´m the kind of person who once i settle on a certain type of ship i make sure to get it as near perfect as possible. Recently i trained Recon 5 and Cloaking 5, still got a few to go there. But once i settle on a ship unless there´s a skill i really need badly at that point, i focus on a certain ship.

So what kind o skiller are you? Jack of all trades, focused or, train for what is needed at the current time?

i've been working on a 120 million SP training plan since the beginning. my skillsheet will not make much sense and in some ways look bad in the meantime. I did concentrate on some basic roles of T2 cruiser logistics and recons. it's getting there.

Started with jack of all trades really, got them up and now its just working on L5s after a hundred mil or so SP.
Some of my alts are specialized alts though so they have just whats needed.

Have you heard anything I've said?

You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?

That's right.

Had to end sometime.

I started out Jack of all trades as I tried to find my place weapons wise.
Now though I have a somewhat monolithic support skills plan on the cooker , just finished all gunnery supports, on armour next, frigate & cruiser hulls and so on.
344d left on the plan :D

Jack of all trades. I noticed early on, that in most cases the difference between lvl 4 and lvl 5 almost never makes the difference between success and failure, while having access to a to the proper tools makes all the difference. You can fill things to full later on when you've run out of new interesting/useful tools to train for.

I started as a "Jack of Wrong Trades". I really didn't (And still don't for the most part) understand what I need to do, so I trained whatever I thought sounded cool.

I moved on to my basic skills once I had some experienced pilots steer me in the right direction. Now I'm training all things frigates. I can use most of the T2 small weapons and most of the T2 frigates from all races.

I see EVE as a long haul game so I suppose all those skills I trained in the beginning that I didn't really need will come into their own eventually. At least thats what I'm hoping for. Big smile

I don't even know what I'm training right now, let alone what I'm going to train next.

Launching in 2003, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, I only had +2 or +3 implants at best, without remaps and such my character wasn't setup great and I trained dozens of random skills.

I have every single (original only, no nav, durability etc) drone skill at 5, a few good ship/mining skills and all my support skills were randomly between 1-5, I quit after about 3 years.

4+ Years later I returned, my main character dormant all this time, a complete cluster**** of skills in various different tree's all over the place, along with a huge amount of new core skills that had since been added to the game (Shield/Armor compensation etc, new drone, gunnery and missile skills).

It has taken me another.... 4 years since to 'clean up' my character, I've been quite methodical about it:

1) Only train skills with optimal mapping
2) Train all the core skills that I didn't have
3) Train all core ship skills to 5
4) Start filling skill gaps with lvl5 skills
5) Train to be a perfect Carrier pilot

Now, I use +5 Implants and only train things I'm mapped for, I have a tiny bit of cleaning left to go (I have over 140 lvl5 skills, 7 lvl4 Skills and only 6 skills at levels 1-3).

I also train to specific fits.. it seems like you can be more effective by narrowing your focus.

I'm the kind of skiller that can fly a new ship perfectly each time I undock.

The latest one being Hics.

I'm training up to be the ultimate CEO. I'm gonna have every CEO skill there is leveled to V just so I can lead a group of folks to the glory of winning EVE. I even level skills that seem like they might be useful to a CEO. One day, I hope to have my very own skill book - Vyl Vit's CEO Management Specialization. It'll give me +10,000 bot members of all races and the first shot at all Minmatar noobs. (You other types will just have to wait in line.)

When I'm done, I'm going to sell this character for 50 trillion ISK,
which I will then use to cure inflation and lag at the same time.
(On my main. You know.)

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

There are 402 skills in EvE with worth over 504 million skill points. The range of skill training points per hour is 1500 minimum to 2750 or so max depending on attributes. Most players have no clue. The training time multipliers are x1 to x16 with x5 the most common. Intelligence and Memory are the most common and therefore the best default neural map. 82% of skill training time is spent between level IV and level V. Trying to match primary and secondary skill attributes to skill up faster is futile because remaps are annual. If you were really good you could complete all skills in 25 years, but who would want to do that? I've got a perfect 15 year plan!

After I blitzed my way into a BS when I first started I decided to A) train a Capital then B) finish all T2 weapons/mods/ships from smallest to largest

I started as a jack-of-all-trades... then straight focused, combat related skills... now I am fleshing everything out at the subcap level. I hope I reach that goal before I have to upgrade beyond my current 120 mil SP clone.

but according to that other thread you don't have that one skill at 5 so your character is invalid!

me I trained guns because hey GUNS! TwistedPirate

I hardly even know why I'm training most things now, I can fly everything I want to fly more or less perfectly, outside of drone specs and a few nav skills to 5, so I'll probably just do those so the game says I do actually fly it perfectly. and then leadership skills because why not... after that welp, good question

This character is trained as a T2 frigate and cruiser pilot, right now I am working on finishing up Heavy Assault Cruisers.

Focused in missiles and lasers, although I can use any T2 small weapon.
