Jumping on the bandwagon, this is what Kirith and my second account characters have lined up:
Kirith
As I worked out this morning has another 118 days to go before setting foot into a Rupture. The Rupture will be nicely fitted out and have all the necesary skills to fly it well and I am very much looking forward to the day I fly cruisers, and especially battlecruisers.
Why so long? a lot of corp mates have asked. Well, of course I could fly it quicker than that but I have some rules that I am following you see. I am determined that I do not lose sight of my long term goal of flying a max skill Rifter. When I say max skill I mean literally every skill that is publically available and affects a Rifter I will have at 5 at the plans conclusion. This includes all of the support skills. Not only then will I fly a fairly overpowered Rifter, but loads of those skills will naturally benefit a host of other ships. But I digressed a bit, so back to the subject of why so long. Every skill towards the Rupture I am taking to least level 4, once I have that skill to 4 I do another Rifter skill to level 5 and interleave them. Eg.
- Combat Drone Operation, train levels 1-4.
- Fuel Conservation, train level 5.
- Drone Interfacing, train levels 1-4.
You get the idea. Now the shortest of my Rifter plan skills as they are all train to level 5's from 4 is currently 7 days 22 hours and they get longer from there.
There are two distinct sections of skills for the Rupture, Drones & Cruiser specifics like medium guns. Once Kirith completes training the Drone skills, a quick stint of Gallente Frigate 1-5 will be trained to give my a bit of fun as I plan to buy a Dramiel to mess around with.
The alts
My alts are still doing a comfortable job of station trading generating a nice income stream on their basic bog standard 5 orders. Bringing in an average of 8-10m isk per day for 30 minutes of time spent updating orders.
In 12 days my "afk miner" will be in a Hulk.
Plus 33 days an alt will be behind the wheel of a Charon Freighter
Plus 55 days the other alt will be a properly skilled Covops pilots
TL:DR
Kirith, Dramiel & Rupture
Alts, Hulk, Charon, Covops
How about you, anything interesting planned?
I'm actually in the same boat! Largely because I knew I wouldn't be effective in AT 8 in anything but a frigate, the past few months (and subsequent months) have been spent training nothing except things to get me nearly perfect in Minmatar, Amarr, and Gallente frigate sized ships (although I'm cheating a little and generally only getting Rank 4 skills and above to Level 4, with a few exceptions), in the event that it might be beneficial for me to fly one.
ReplyDeleteMy thought process is about the same though. At the very least, at the end of the day I'll have every Gunnery skill to V at least (except Trajectory Analysis), perfect cap skills, and every important Navigation skill to V (except High Speed Maneuvering). Once that's all done, I'll start to think about Cruisers, heh heh.
