Skill Discussions

Ever heard of Evemon? Great tool to find out training times...

Somehow I thought that you want to train something that will take those 4 months hence my previous answer. Sorry.

But I can see you have a sh*tload of skills at 1st or 2nd level like most of drone oriented skills for example so why not to train them to the max? Also spaceship command chapter is kinda lacking and mechanics part simply suck a*s. Last time I checked those were pretty important for pvp.

To be honest having your 4 months I would go crazy and just took drones, mechanics and gunnery skills at least up to level 4.

Look, you have rigging almost only at level 1, don't you use rigs on your ships? Every level of rigging you have 10% less of penalties, believe me it is a lot when you try to squeeze out max out of your powergrid to fit better guns or have better tank or whateva.

Also thermodynamics take it to level 4 or better to 5, great difference if you heat up your modules (and who isn't?)

Get level 4 on all known support skills and where you want or need to unlock some modules or skills get level 5. If you do that next time when you will take your ship for a drive you will think that CCP buffed something :)

In case you wondering if you won't run out skills to train before those 4 months end -> Advanced Weapon Upgrades V alone should take you a couple of weeks, with my attributes Evemon says 31 days.

Not sure if youbre serious about this. If so, no. Without good support skills you'll just be a easy targetbin an expensive capital rather than an easy target in a cheap ship. My skill training philosophy has always been to focus on a particular ship and then maximize every possible skill than enhances it's pvp effectiveness, attributes providing.

As suggested previously, focus on the suupport skills for the ships you already fly and like, or max out your "core" suport skills if you haven't already. "Core" suport skills are your biggest bang for the buck since they'll improve every ship you ever jump into.

[quote=DaRiKavus]Being 3 months into a 6 month tour away from Eve I know where you are coming from on this.

Although I am a little more advanced SP wise than you I plugged in the following skills as they are releatively long ones and suit my restricted internet access.

Recon V
Logi V
Drone Interfacing V
Heavy Drone V
Covert Ops V

You may also want to look at getting some of your missile skills up as well, including:

Rapid Launch
Target Prediction
Guided Missile Prediction

Although you mention Incursions and though I dont really run them much its my understanding that Tengu's arent the most popular Cursion strat of the bunch.

As mentioned above Rig skills are very handy to get to at least IV but I mention some of the longer skills as I assume you may be limited to internet time. I am restricted to maybe logging on for 2 mins every couple of weeks presently.

This is pretty solid advice. Personally, and knowing what I know now, I'd take DI 5 and then as many gunnery and missile supports as possible to 5. However, back when I did something similar I think I took BC 5 and two cruiser skills to 5 instead -- and that isn't really a bad option either. Check EVEMon, but I think you could walk away with BC 5, Minmatar Cruiser 5, Gallente Cruiser 5, and T2 medium projectiles and hybrids without too much overflow in four months. That would open up lots of new shinies for you, even if supports would help more in the long run across all ships.
