Skill Queue Online

This is one of those boring self-fellatio type posts where the blogger shows off all the nice skills they have trained to V and then talks a load of waffle about where they want their character to go next. In all honestly I'm only writing this crap out to get things straight in my head, and see where I could/want to go with my characters in the future. I'm also putting it out publicly because I have nothing else really to write about with my desktop PC currently having surgery (turns out my motherboard fucked up, so it wasn't something I could have fixed easily myself) so I need something to fill space. Deal with it.

The last time I did one of these posts was when I talked about my year plan to super specialise into frigates, and later cruisers on Seraph. Did that happen?

FRIGATE SWAG OP

Damn right it did. Cruisers are less finished at the moment (I'm dreading Caldari Cruiser V even though the Tengu is tempting me) but I'm currently working on large blasters so it'll have to wait.

Thank god for the old Battlecruisers skill to V

But I also trained loads of other useful things in that time, and now I'm not quite sure what I want to do next. From what I've done so far, I think I have three real options for Seraph, my primary main.

Option 1 - Skill Cleanup
This is the OCD part of my brain that hates the random level II and III skills I have trained, and wants to get all of them to IV at a minimum before I start training anything else. Obviously this is the least glamorous option, and includes thrilling skills such as Survey and Frequency Modulation.

Oh be still my beating heart!

Now while I'd secretly love (and be aroused by) doing this, it's all a little pointless besides making my skill list look pretty. I imagine this is something an eight year old character does, not a three year old one. It's an option but it feels like a waste. Spending literally half a year to make numbers look pretty is probably not the best plan.

Option 2 - Subcap focus

Despite my huge fetish for the Megathron hull, I've never
flown a variant of the damn thing

Much as the title suggests, I finish rounding out my subcap skills, such as all cruisers/strategic cruisers trained, all battleships to V, perfect fitting skills (except rigs to V because screw that). Possibly even train for Heavy Interdictors and the like, though I'll probably not need those unless we get dropped by supers on a regular basis in our new home. I'm leaning towards this skillplan because the idea of being near perfectly skilled for all subcaps is pretty alluring, and I've always wanted an excuse to train things like Marauders V and Black Ops V. Max skilled carebearing OP yo'.

However this will be a long road, especially since most of the skills I don't have are big skills. Like Caldari Battleship V or Warhead Upgrades V. The good news is that most of these skills mean I can stick with my current Per/Will remap and save my current remap for something else in the future.

Option 3 - YOLO Dreadnought
I really want to fly a dreadnought. You guys don't even understand. But the thought of training all those jump skills again on another character is almost too painful to bear. I have max jump drive skills on Zendrak and it's a nice, smug feeling to have them. But I hated every dragging minute of training them, and that's not something I want to experience again. Plus will I really use my dread that often? Could I bear losing one or would I just sadly spin it in station? Plus when I've got Zendrak already so heavily focused into Carriers and Jump Freighters, wouldn't it be simpler if he just trained the gunnery skills for a Dreadnought and became a dedicated capital pilot? But Seraph already has Advanced Weapon Upgrades V, so he can start training for Siege Modules pretty much straight off...

Dem lasers... Hnnnngh

It's a hard decision for me if I'm honest. However the more I think about it, the more I'm tempted to combine all of the above into one huge "No I want everything" skillplan. 

Only time will tell I guess. Anyway, what of Zendrak's skillplan? Well that'll be the next post I start working on while my desktop is fixed. So if you give a shit about my other main account then head on to the next post (if it's done when you read this). If you don't care, then just skip ahead to the post after that, hopefully by which time I'll have my desktop back and I can make sweet PvP love in my new home and tell you all about it

In any case, fly safe!
