You won't be able to go around only with Minmatar ships if you want to be successful at what you do. Cross train but do not maximize your skills. Go to level 4 where it is necessary and train level 3 for all the four races. Then maximize what you use most.

Your statement that one needs to cross train to be successful in what he does is not true. I have started this character as Minmatarian pilot from the very begining several years ago and he's still Minmatarian, flying Minmatarian ships. The only "cross training" I actually did, was training Galentian skills to access Angel ships that require both Minmatar and Galentian skills. And I never regretted my choice. Now, after trying ships of other races on my other characters I am still most satisfied with Minmatar ships, what they offer, and this character is still my main.
I did not play this game much. I only started playing around 2004-2005. This toon is number 9 in my queue and I unboxed it after the skill injectors were implemented. I've played the nullsec pvper the nullsec ratter the lowsec pirate the hisec merc and everything in between.
Let me share a little bit of my limited experience. This game is NOT about playing alone. The best achievements are obtained with a group. If you play alone you will get bored or ganked or you will not have access to the best space goodies this game has to offer. The first requirement to JOIN a proper group is the ability to actually FLY ships. Crosstraining the minimum is the best you can do and it will only take you a couple of weeks. You can then decide which ships are going to make your life easier and start maximizing.

Hey buddy a strategic cruiser is a T3 :)
That's because you had no idea how the turret/missiles mechanics worked (among other things - until you get to fly a stategic cruiser you might aswell grow two or three 30 cm long beards). You can outdamage/outlast and generally do much better with a level 4 trained battleship than with any t1 cruiser no matter the training. But you need to know what you are doing, which obviously was not your case.

Well if you have waited many years to fly a battleship with perfect skills :)))) then you're one of the most patient players I have ever heard of...or maybe there is another word to describe what you did and it is not patience. And you are right, waiting years to level 5 everything pays off... when you are old and retired.
Within 3 months you can fly a really decent BS with good skills, given that you know what you are doing.
MY ADVICE : Establish a list of goals, this is a game you'll play for quite a while if it catches you.
Make an effort and train cybernetics to 5 and plug in +5 implants. While you train for it you might as well farm the isk to buy the implants.
Avoid lowsec/nullsec for the first few months until you learn a bit about how to GTFO from a fight and save your pod. In low and null if you get bubbled you lost your pod, or you could get smartbombed at the gates or during fights.
Train to level 4 everything that is valid for your goal from support skills/engineering/armor/shields/rigs/navigation.
Study and learn how the turret tracking system works and the missile explosion vs ship signature and speed. Understanding this mechanic is crucial to every player.
