Skill Discussions

Hello All,

First off I will state that if I came to the wrong sub-section of the forums, please move me to the right one. I came here on the basis that I need more help understand what skills are going to be best for my purpose with the ships over what to fit the ships with, so hopefully I did pick right.

On to the topic.
*EDIT - http://eveboard.com/pilot/Ultra_Yeti Skill Sheet - EDIT*

I am looking at a goal of piloting all available, and future available, T3 Destroyers and Cruisers. Currently I can pilot the Amarr T3 Destroyer and the Caldari T3 Cruiser (The Confessor and The Tengu, if you can't remember off-hand), and neither are skilled where I can fly them decently from what I have come to understand based on PvP and PvE situations. So I figured I am either piloting the ship wrong, or I just have horrible skill for such cases, or a combination of both. So upon thinking about that, I decided it would probably be best to reach out and ask other pilots what they do differently and what skills they have compared to what I have.

Now I will warn beforehand that I was a miner for a very long time, so my PvP skills are about nonexistent as I was almost always in a fleet for low/null sec and when in high-sec I usually dealt in a fleet for easier transport of goods, and if not in a fleet I stayed in high-sec normally to avoid loss.

So any and all advice that other pilots are willing to share, I would forever be greatful for (maybe even so that if I ever get insanely good I don't attack you :D...hahaha I doubt I'll ever reach that level <.<),

Thank you very much for your input ^.^!

Currently with the tengu I can use any subsystems as I have each sub-skill trained at lvl 1 to 3 (not sure if I have anything higher then 3 for there), so I will definitely look towards upgrading them all to at least IV or V. Currently for PG I have the skill to max out the amount I can get at V, and I believe my CPU skill is also at V (I think I have all PG and CPU related skills at V, but I could be wrong on this).

If I knew how to provide a link to all of the skills I have currently I would definitely do that, but the only way I know is creating an API key, and no other method. If anybody does know how to do that I would love to edit it into the first post so others who read it can see where my skills are at and help even more with better information :)!



But to be specific to the post I quoted, currently I believe I have all PG And CPU skills at V, but I know that my subsystem skills, my shield/armor tank skills, and weapon skills are very subpar so I will definitely look into skilling these up so that I can have a higher DPS and higher tank for my ships. Also I am not sure of that eject piece either, but I keep hearing many people say it's true. I haven't ever tried to eject from a t3 cruiser before it explodes, so i don't personally know :(.

But again, thank you for your reply. I still look forward to any other replies other pilots have to offer ^.^

Well I do have a purpose, which is that of PvE and PvP. Currently I am in the confessor, and also able to use a tengu. The part here I came is that I don't know what all to skill towards to better myself for the T3 ships, or in other words: I don't know what skills I should train.

Ah, thank you very much for showing me that link to eveboard. I did not know their site existed, so glad to see it :). I'll edit in the link to them in the main post so that others who read can see the link and look at the skills :3.

As for this post, currently my skills look like this: http://eveboard.com/pilot/Ultra_Yeti So far my skills, as it shows, are kinda all over the place. Majority have been PvE related, and recently they have been shifted over to PvP. So mainly trying to see what else I should train in the skill list so that I can improve the ships I do fly (from frigates, as you suggested, up to super caps (if I ever get there xD)).

I know Tengu pve .. so i'll highlight skillsets your missing for that
the rest can be extrapolated ... it should follow a similar pattern
(If you aren't going to use a Railgu you don't need the gunnery skills at all)

Train Core skills to 5 before Primary skills
Train Primary skills to 5 before Secondary skills
Secondary skills can be left at Level 4, and 5 trained when you determine the need.
