After about 80ish million skill points I'm still another year, year and a half away. I'll be over 100 by the time it's done. There's some other stuff in there. I can fly a couple battleships and battle cruisers competently, not well. The bulk all comes back to that initial goal. Right now I'm chugging through 3 months of taking all rigging skills to 5. So trust me, I get it. But even though all my friends have long since gone onto larger specialized role ships well down the line for where I'm at with my training list.. I've never found it a waste. Even when clone costs became prohibitive to me actually flying the bulk of where all my SP sit. I created the ultimate utility character. I can do, everything. All ewar, all logistics, all.. well.. everything.<br /><br />So yeah, making it to a battleship is nice I guess. But there's always something to be said for the little ships. With minimal training time they can hit about 80% of where I am on any of the ships I fly, and they'd actually get to figure out what they love. Play around with the little ships, learn what you like, and do that. I always try to tell newbies when I encounter one in the wild asking about things like this that there's no guarantee they'll even like battleships. I don't like mine. Especially after the speed nerf.Halyconnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-70612549196758604402014-12-04T03:48:12.058-06:002014-12-04T03:48:12.058-06:00gotta second the notion to train subsystems to V, ...gotta second the notion to train subsystems to V, gonna make a world of difference when you try to squeeze on a tight fit:)Malahidenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-75442565106606134752014-12-04T01:34:48.765-06:002014-12-04T01:34:48.765-06:00In the past, it made more sense to crosstrain race...In the past, it made more sense to crosstrain races, in order to avoid the nerfbat to the current FOTM ships and weapons. Since Fozzie joined CCP and his fine work on ship tiericide, crosstraining has been much less of an issue.<br /><br />So, rather than crosstrain to fly every ship, I'd recommend training up all of your support skills to level 5, incl. any secondary weapon systems such as drones (assuming you haven't done so already), then knock off those level 5 specialization skills, one by one.<br /><br />Consider, too... even if you *could* fly all the ships, would you? I can fly every subcap, and use every subcap weapon, in the game - but, I regularly fly only a small handful of ships.<br /><br />Final note: regarding babysitting a Proc in a battleship.

It is a fine ship against EM / Therm and the ability to switch ammo like a Tengu is of real value. Whatever T3 you choose to fly, I would get the subsystems to V, especially Electronics if you plan on exploring in one. But you do have to counter that against the massive nerf T3's are going to face very soon, when fozzie gets his way.<br /><br /><br />Also consider if you are living in low sec, a battleship will be more a detriment than a help in many case, if you play solo or with 2 accounts.Viince_Snettertonnoreply@blogger.com
