Note 1: Since I cannot directly copy the sheet from EVE-MON to the forum, I have to write it down manually. This will take time on my part, so I hope some veterans can look it over. It will also result in them not coming in priority order, but for every ship I fit its certificates with support skills will follow.

Note 2: I have three characters walking three different directions; each one will fill their purpose for me and my plans a decade from now within New Eden. They will be depending on each other to sustain a viable, very large economy and protect each other from those whom are and shall forever be enemies of my ideas.

Character 1: "He was bred to enforce the will of the State; war his philosophy, piloting his destiny, muscles his strength."

Battle character including Rifter pvp dps fit with certificates; Hurricane pvp & pve fits with certificates; Maelstrom pvp with certificates; Tengu pvp with certificates. Days to train: 238 days.

[As you can see, I plan to make her battle ready through missiles. Why? I have no idea; it was a certificate for Buzzard - but, hey, can never hurt to have two chars capable of dealing damage, eh? Critique on this is most welcome.]

Don't use too much italic style text, it's annoying to read.

While I cannot speak to your combat character, you are going to want to train the Freighter and the ORE Industrial skills to 4, and the Industrial Command Ships Skill to 5. Exhumers 4 is not too much of an extra train over the 3 required for the Hulk. You may also want to considder training transports (deepspace transport + blockade runner)

You are also going to want to train Cybernetics to 4 on all of your characters for most implants, and to 5 on the industrial character for the mining foreman mindlink. You may or may not have them included, however I have them on most of my plans as I make many alts for different purposes and the implants and remap can cut the training by quite a bit.

In regards to the third character, it is always useful to have some sort of hauler trained, especially the cloaky ones as you said you were interested in wormholes.

The core comp certificates are good for any character that is going to undock. I typically take them to standard on most of my characters.
