What kind of skiller are you?

Right now I'm training Carmen for perfect subcap gunnery. (All supports to V, just need Trajectory Analysis now which seems like such a sillly skill to train to V). And then working on all specs to IV. Not a big fan of training specs to V. Better places for that SP to go.

Well, right now it's Skyrim/Xcom and training in Eve.

With pirate hulls being recently buffed, I'm focused on getting Spaceship Command skills to V. Especially frig and cruiser.

I started out level 5ing Gal T1 subcap and the skills that are really needed to fit a ship. After that I started hitting T2 ships and modules with some stuff for missioning and PI thrown in but when ISIS dropped I started completing mastery levels. I had been using the certificate system of old but I have found that the mastery system works better.

I want to be able to fly everything subcap (I like having options). Afterwards I want to start specializing (getting weapon spec skills to V, etcetc) and cap skilling for 1 or 2 races (probably Gallente or Amarr).

I'm afraid to say that sometimes, where I may have appeared to be focused, I was actually all over the place when it came to queuing up skills. I often find myself saying, "Oh, I'd like to do that", and immediately start training, only to find myself training something else soon thereafter.

I'd like to consider myself someone who sets a stern goal, and never leaves the trail, but I'd be lying to myself. I'm all over the place and very erratic when it comes to training skills. Smile

Luckily, since I've been playing for so long, I've found the time to go back and fill in some of the gaps.

Back then I trained for big ships and raw firepower with my main and smaller ships, ewar and stealth with my 'main alt'. After a couple years it of course started to overlap and now my three main chars have mostly the same skills, basically almost everything about combat. With the exception that my main cannot do anything with missiles.

I still don't have any skills in industry, mining, trading, science or manufacturing. And probably never will. I hope they will not suddenly change those parts of the game into something fun instead of tedious clickfests.


my first alt was a "miner" that lasted all of a few months (lets see about 9mil in production/Resource processing/science, plus whatever it takes to fly a hulk), all combat from then on focus on ewar, stealth, and probing skills. I will say it is kinda nice being able to make things when you need to, but with the industry changes it seems all you really need is the industry skill for that. Maybe a few levels of mass production so you can make a few things at a time. Can take advantage of cheap bpcs on contracts.

I like training level 5 skills. But, why train cloaking 5? What does the CONCORD cloak really give over officer cloaks? And, baring supers, is that 5% a major difference? I don't really use the improved on anything but blockade runners, blops, and my capital. I guess the extra level would make a difference on the capital, but is it worth 20 days to get it? I really don't know. If cloaking 5 were the last skill I had to train to 5, I'd get it. But, not before then.

I'm more of a shotgun skiller.

I actually do have a neat year long skill plan laid out in EVE Mon. But I periodically get bored and decided that I want to fly this ship or that module now, so I end up just plugging in the skills for whatever I want at the moment.

On the upside, most of it was somewhere in my skill plan anyway, so I'm not really so much abandoning it as moving things around.

I have a main that is a top 30 character on eveboard and is a jack of all trades where all skills are 4 or 5. No industry, no mining skills. i'm training all skills he has to level 5 and funny enough hardly play with it any more.
I created this character for sol frigate and cruiser pvp because the clone price for my main is ridiculisly high now. I intend not to go over 65 mio skill points with this character in order to keep the cloneprice decent for solo pvp.
Here i train skills in that specialisation to level 4 and 5 depending on the percentual gain the last level gives me.

Started out EVE training all basic support skills to 5 (including Adv Weapon Upgrades 5). And since then, apart from a few stray skills (lol Gas Harvesting 5), I've mostly trained to be proficient in a given role.

For example, in the beginning of the year I trained for Mastery 4 on the Guardian, then Gal cruiser 5 and T2 sentries so that I could join the cool kids and play Ishtars Onlineā„¢. Then I maxed some capacitor/navigation skills.

Currently I'm training for HIC 4, and after that I might go for Command Ships or Blops.

Then my primary alt is specialized in scanning, suicide ganking and being pure Amarr. Can fly a Paladin but not a Rifter for example. She has Gal Destroyer and Small blaster spec to 5 etc...
Also specialized her for logistics and she's currently training/specializing for an Archon.


Then lastly I recently got a second, wild card alt that I'm yet to decide what to do with. Possibly a booster alt.
So I would say I'm highly specialized when skilltraining. I'd rather fly 1 single ship with perfect support skills than being able to sit in 50 different ships with no support skills.
