Currently have gal cruiser V and med blast spec IV, i can currently fly the domi with t2 drones but i do not have t2 large guns. However inspite of all this i am really really considering training up minmatar right now, flew a stabber the other day randomnly when i was bored (have every race cruiser to IV other then caldari) and really really liked the auto cannons hitting out to 12km with t1 ammo.
So i am thinking of training up minnie to minnie BS V and large projectiles, i know this gives me the jaguar/wolf/claw/stilleto/rupture/stabber/vaga/rapier/huginn/hurricane and tempest as the list of ships i would likely fly.
So how bad of an idea is this? Am i crazy? I mean there is just something about minnie that makes me want to fly them.
TL;DR - How bad of an idea is it to train minnie up to BS V and large proj's with all t2 ships included?
I'm responding from personal experience: I was once in your exact position, was contented with my gallente skills (didn't care much for battleships at the time) and was at a fork in my training tree. I was in between a different racial cruiser 5 or T2 large hybrid weapons. My alliance at the time was very sniper bs-y and pos shootin' in 0.0 so they nudged me towards T2 larges so I could use spike for ops and T2 blasters get moar dmg from specialization. I was reluctant to do so because I wasn't (and still am not) a fan of battleships.
Needless to say I deeply regret wasting time on large hybrid turret 5 where that could have been minmitar cruiser 5, and with the little extra umf for T2 medium projectiles (mandatory). I would strongly advise though against T2 large projectiles... they SUCK... MISERABLY. Only way I wouldn't laugh if you said you did is if you had some deep, unshakable, faith that CCP has some ubar buff to projectiles coming in the very near future.
The fun you'll have with minmitar (imo) you'll have with: Vaga, Wolf, rupture, hurricane, cyclone (if you're talented  ), rapier (needs some buffin, but not as bad as some make it out), stabber (cheap fun), sleipnir, claymore (if you're like me at least), and scimitar (again, if you're like me... I like playing support sometimes), broadsword, sabre.
I think thats my whole list... but yah, minmitar are a cruiser race, their bs quality is pretty abysmal. Their caps too.
I read the forums assuming there are no trolls, only really stupid people.
