A Cruiser using Small Blaster since thats all the pilot can use is an insurance payment waiting to happen Inspired by some helpful posts on the EVE Online forums here are some skill suggestions for you to aim towards.

L5 is required for Assault Frigates.

L4 is required for Mirco Aux Power Cores.

Allows use of Expanded Cargoholds.

L4 is required for Armor Hardeners.

Requires Mechanic level III and Survey level III to train.

This skill allows you to salvage a Wreck, getting Rig Components you can sell or build rigs with.

L4 is required for Micro-Warp Drives (MWD).

MN FrigateDestroyer, 10MN CruiserIndustrialBattlecruiser, 100MN Battleship.

L4 is required for Tech 2 Afterburners.

Agility is how quickly your ship turns.

Some people skip Destroyers, but they are very good vs Frigates in Level 1 missions.

Level I is all thats needed to pilot a Destroyer, but higher levels help with ship penalties.

Faction specific.

Simply being able to pilot a Cruiser doesnt mean you can fly it safely:).

Each Level within a Rank requires a certain number of skill points to be earned.

Level 1 for a Rank 1 skill might take 10 minutes to train, while Level 1 of a Rank 4 skill would take 40 minutes to train.

You can however train skills to raise your attributes to make you earn skill points faster thereby training skills faster.

Level goes from 1 to 5 and is either represented by Frigate L4 or with Roman Numerials (I, II, III, IV, V) Frigate IV.

Always have a Clone with more Skill Points than you currently have.
