I am finishing up Cyber V to get a set of +5's cuz I'm awesome like that. After that though, I am deciding whether to just stick to frigs, max them out (Cov Ops V, AF V, Inty V, EAF V, All Small Gun/Missile Specs to IV-V, All 4 Racial Frig V, and some support skills) or to stick to Amarr and go for a T2 Guns and Legions and Curses and Purifiers and other fun stuff for amarr.

Whatcha think I should do?

Weird logic imo.

Find something you want to fit and fly, then train for it.

Fitting/gunnery/missiles/nav is always beneficial, but taking ships that you rarely or never fly to V sounds really silly to me.

Like I've trained HIC's to IV. V is a big upgrade, but I so rarely fly them it's no point really.

Well I love frigates use them a lot but I at the same time I love the Legion/Abbadon and Amarr Line-up and don't really wanna be stuck with just frigates (A lack of income issue)

Lack of isk? Time to get some side incomes. Even one level 1 research agent will increase your income slightly, which adds up. They are easy to start using if you have a matching science skill to level 1. A few PI skills (just Command Center Upgrades really) to level 2 can get you a nice little facility and is another side income. It's really easy to set up something that you can leave alone for awhile.

Back on topic, it is a lot cheaper to get into an Abaddon. You can use that to make the money for the Legion. You don't have to go straight for the Abaddon either. Even an Armageddon or an Apocalypse can work well. In terms of training, just going for BS (ships and weapons) 3 or 4 will work well for you. Tanking skills (+cap skills) apply to all, so you can train them while saving for a BS. Once you are in the BS, save and train for the T3 cruiser.

Note: You didnGÇÖt say anything about cruisers (T1 or T2), so I didnGÇÖt address them. If you follow this track (tank > BS > T3) you pretty much skip cruisers and you completely skip BCs. That will save you time, but the jump from frigate to BS is a big one. Flying a cruiser may help, but I donGÇÖt know what your main source of isk is. Side incomes will help with that.

Only train niche skills to V only if you know you absolutely love that ship. EAS V? Boy, you'd better fly a LOT of Sentinels. Small Laser Spec V? Dang, that's a lot of little.

You could spend that many SP in so many different ways which would open up new ships or new tactics.

Personally I would never stick to just frigates as they may be fun but also limited in their use. Especially if it's your main character. Getting medium T2 weapons and decent core skills to fly a decent fitted (battle)cruiser makes you a lot more versatile to start with.

Well right now I have about 3b sitting in my wallet for any pvp I do and for plexes and contrary to how long this char as been active I've been playing for quite a while. I've flown a Legion before and Abby, both awesome ships. I still plan to fly Command Ships and HAC's, also would nice to have a Guardian avaliable.

As for ISK income, I meant like if I trained the pure-amarr course I could run L4's for income, but if I just went pure frigs there isn't much of a income stream without training for research or PI (like you mention) or I could just start an alt.

But right now, I think I'll probably just go for the pure amarr way, Honestly they have some of my all-time favorite ships, and tey look the best. Abso is just pure awesome and Legion is same.

Maybe I'll start an alt for pure frig mayhem :)

Ask around if a legion can do L4s effectively (all I know is a Tengu can).

Not really, no. Medium lasers are pretty much awful for L4s.

Edit: and the HAM subsystem suffers even more than putting HAMs on a Tengu, which isn't a good idea in the first place.

Pretty much the first thing I do with a new character is max out support, switch focus to maximizing small ship efficiency (Frigs, Inties etc.) and then move on to maxing out HAC;s. Hac's are such fun ships, so versatile, deal a ton of damage and can be that ship which sneaks into 0.0 and rat, especially if you are flying a Zealot and ammo is not a problem

I don't think you realise how long this is going to take.

I have every single T2 shipskill (bar logistics) at L5. I have the support skills (gunnery/eng/elect) to fly 95% of Minnie combat ships pretty much perfectly. That is after nearly 3 years on this plan, starting as a new player with no iskies.
