Well, most people want to rush to tech 2 mods and have all the best shit. You'll find that it takes 1/10th the time to get to level 3 in everything than level 5 in one or two things, AND level 3 generally gives you 15% bonus while level 5 gives you 25% bonus.

So, the logical conclusion here is to get a 15% bonus to EVERYTHING instead of having a 25% bonus in one or two things and NO BONUS to everything else. You'll also have the added satisfaction of hearing "Skill training complete" every time to log in, 10-15 times a day. You'll get through those level 3 skills very quickly (over the course of a week or two), and you'll be right on the edge of getting the tech 2 stuff.

If you really want to know what exactly to train next, you'll find that the Market is the best place to figure this out:


Open the market, either find the item you want for sale, or use the search tab to find it if it's not available in the region yet (and place an order for it either through a hauler or a productionator - matriel, et al).

After you find the item, right click --> Show info. Go to the prerequisites tab. X's mean you don't own the skill, Circles means it's not high enough, Checks mean your golden. Learn the skills to whatever level you need. Again, focus on tech 1 stuff, not tech 2, if you can resist the urge to spend 5D getting from lvl 4 to 5.

none of this will matter for several days as i still need to get frigate to 5. But after that i should probably decide what the hell i want to do in this game :confused:
