Some doubts on training plan for pvp (matar)

Hi guys, I need some advice on a long term training plan for a character focused on Minmatar race.
The character will die in PvP, and will have to live in nullsec (alphafleet and roaming). I have no intention of using capital. Being a long-term plan we talk about skills at level 5 ofc.

I have some doubts about it:

Drones -> Drone interfacing 5, Sentry Drone Operation 5, EW Drones 4-5, plus the small drones and support skills are useful to 4-5, or it is just a small drones to 5 and ew drones 4-5?

Electronics -> What kind of electronic warfare can use? Target painting is useful? To use ECM systems should I use Caldari ships, but I'm not going to pull in that direction. Weapon distruption can be an option?

Engineering -> Tactical Shield Manipulation 5 is useful? In some forum I read the other

Quote:

Lot of wasted skill points here. Clearly intended to be a PvP character but like so many others on this forum it's fallen victim to the owner's ignorance. Drone navigation V and tactical shield manipulation V actually make your character worse, light drones can't track and because of the way shield regen goes down as you approach 0% it's actually better to have as much armour bleed as possible. Afterburner V is awful for any 100mn boat because your align is awful except between cycles, having it at V pretty much rules out a good 100mn tengu on this account.

Mechanics -> Armor tanking yes or not (hull upgrades 5, armor compensations 5, repair system 5, rigging 5)?

Miscellaneous -> For stealth bombers I need the skills of the missiles, but Hound is one of the least used because of the explosive damage, you should train torpedos plus all support skills?

Thank you :)

The drone navigation/sharpshooting issue was fixed so max it. Many just take racial spec, drone dura and drone ewar to IV but V for other drone skills. Not sure why you want sentry drones to V as minmatar subcap pilot unless you want to pve and/or shoot structures.

I'd agree with not taking afterburner to V. Tactical shield manipulation IV is fine.

Weapon disruption is an option so you may as well take the related skills to IV. Take at least the passive armor skills to V with compensations to IV and I took shield, armor as astronautic rigging to V.

Not sure why you think Hound is bad. Nothing wrong with explosive damage at all.

Nice to take amarr bs to IV so you can use mael or artybaddon depending on whether your fleet doctrine is shield or armor.
