Skill Discussions

You have no drone skills, which you might want to consider depending on if your next remap would be more beneficial for that.

* Shield Management 5
* Shield Operation 5
* Cloaking 3+ [Optional]

Unless you are using a POS for reprocessing, you may want to look into reprocessing skills (mem > int).


It might be easier to tell my story to give you ideas...

For what it is worth, my shadow (follows me everywhere) has a job of making my life easier. He's 2 months younger than me.

He started off by hauling for me when I mined (first in a Coercer and later in Bestower, which eventually lead to freighters, Orca and Rorqual), and salvaging for me when I did missions. Salvaging was pre-Noctis, which meant the Hurricane battlecruiser was arguably the best salvage ship (most cargo), and I also later used it for exploration in w-space sites.

Since drones are his only weapon system, he specializes in drone boats, which led to Gallente and Gurista (=Gallente + Caldari) ships, and to some extent Amarr ships (Khanid). This made grinding standing, for reprocessing tax reduction, much easier.

His training progressed organically as needed, and includes (not in order of training):
* Boosting (Orca, Rorqual, Command Ships)
* Mining (because you may be in a fleet that already has boosters and haulers, or a really small fleet making a Retriever / Mackinaw a better choice).
* Reprocessing.
* Basic Research and Manufacturing (lacks science skills for anything advanced).
* PI.
* Salvaging.
* Exploration (archeology & Hacking).
* Trade (selling looted, harvested, and manufactured stuff).
* Hauling (Industrials, Transports, Freighters, Jump Freighters).
* Starbase Defense.
* Logistics (an extension of Starbase Defense = repair)
* Black Ops bridging (goes along with having jump drive skills for the Rorqual, which also leads to jump freighters).
Probably more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

He had a general attribute mapping for much of his life, and only recently (for Crius) remapped to mem > int to train reprocessing. A general mapping allowed him to hop-around training different skills as needed. Example of a character that has only ever had a general mapping, and started down a similar path after initially being a mining-only character; note that it hasn't really hurt long-term SP gain.
