M to answer your question i suggest these areas are mandatory for all ships all activities

max pg
max cpu
max repair
cap recharge
cap max
weapons upgrade
advanced weapons upgrade (4 is fine)

pvp i'll let the experts answer for pve i.e. missions nothings better than raven. not sure about complexes but bet it wins there too.

question what what to shoot torps or cruise?
torps drop bs fast but suck on everything else, cruise do good against bs, bc, dest, cruise and some frigs (depending on range)

gank or tank?
depends solely on your skills, i went tank then gank, its all fine and dandy if you can pop them fast but some areas the dps in the beginning is so insane that if your tank is crap your leaving in your pod

nossing npc?
to be honest everyone has an opinion on this i go either way. you do get some cap but so little not worth it in my view. only thing that i have found that is consistent is AB over to npc get within 500m and they drop fast (seems like they don't repair but it could be just me)

shield skills - get them all to 4 preferably 5. trust me having lots of shields and good resis and repair is win win

i'll upload a pic of my skills but since we lost 5punk upload i have none so may take a bit.

set up

6 T2 cruise
1 xl booster 1 boost amp 3/4 hardners 1 cap recharge
3 bcs II 2 pds II or 2 bcs II 3 pds II

i suggest a basic set of 2x each dread gurista hardners - forget the invul use them little and they too much. also get a dark blood cap the fitting requirements help you. with 3 dg hard 1 T2 hard i can run 3 bcs II that is impossible without them. they also free up enough cpu to place a hvy diminishing nos in high slots if i want

sorry if this doesn't fully answer your question just typing away while eating lunch

Now all he needs to do is actually skill caldari and ignore all the invested time in gallente

The ships are already on the boil Dolly, so too late to do the swapsies I'm afraid.

true but look at what he asked in his post

hence my post but your right it does go against everything he has now and i was at that point when all i flew was apoc and geddeon. t2 shield tank is easier to train them armor i think. missile training is less intensive to get T2 then it is for laser, hybrid, projectile. the rest are mutual training skills. the drone training only helps out even that much more. so really longest thing to train will be the ship skills but you only need 4 not 5 now to train the higher level so once again faster.

king of pve is raven
king of afk pve is domi (depending on skills but is still one ugly mofo)

nice try hulk
