Depends on the bird you're wanting to fly.
You need to field at least four t1 drones and priority uno is getting drone interfacing up a rank or two. If you don't do this you'll probably lose the ship. Priority two is getting a comfortable tank; in a raven you'll probably start with 4 power diagnostics in the low slots and 3x capacitor control circuits. As your skills improve you'll swap out one PDU then another for BCU's.
If you play a lot then it's well worth it to get a battleship ASAP, however a drake with bad skills is still faster than a cruiser at farming. Plus you can resell the drake when you're done with it, think of the ship as a rental. For a raven, I know it's possible to farm most l4's with bad skills. I was making about 8-12m an hour fresh into my Battleship with 2.8m skp (and half a mil in industry at that) I did hit hull once because I did not have ANY drones; I had to park the ship and train up drones a tad.
Additionally, due to bad skills you'll want to up to a CNR and CN launchers ASAP to improve your run time; you'll double your isk/hr vs T1 + bad skills.. All told it'll take you around 70 hours of farming l4's to get a decent fit. However, once you get a decent fit, you'll make as much in 30 hours as you spent on the ship (again this assumes very low skp).
Assuming you don't lose it  |

Lol, well ok, sorta. One of the major perks of L4 missions are fast standings gains with Caldari for reduced brokerage at Jita 4-4. |

I didn't tell him not to get standings with anyone but Caldari, only that Caldari is very nice to have.
However, if you think those are equivalent then I'll say a number of things about that. First, Jita has 5x the sell order value of Amarr and if I remember the chart rightly around 8-10x that of Dodixe. Second both faction and corp standing reduce the fees, so although Dodixe is helpful you'll still have higher fees there that another character could easily beat if you're flying Amarr/Caldari storyline missions. Third you can only be in one region at a time. |
