However i do agree that learning skills can be tedius yes, but you aren't forced to train them in the first place. True however is that most people including me will advise one to do that, i did it myself and i've only played for a few months myself.
But i also have a solution for new people, many complain that new people spend their first weeks just sitting around being bored etc, which can be true if you take on learning skills ASAP.
My solution is that you spend the first 2-3 weeks either training for a mining or combat ship. Say getting racial frigate 5, weapon skill to 5 so that you can use whatever t2 weapons system and tanking skills to reasonable level, this could also go for a miner aswell getting into a retiever and start making some money.
Playing around some in EVEmon gives me that, for the non missile using races it would take about 1 month to get into a fully useable combat frigate with t2 weapons.
skills
Weapon system of your choice
Specalisations to 4
Racial frigate to 5
Estimated SP
1.12 million SP.
As far as caldari and basic skills go for combat(I don't fly caldari so i could be wrong here) it is about the same time.
Skills
rocket specalisation 4
Missile launcher operations 5
Rockets 5
Caldari frigate 5
Estiamted SP
1.2 Million
Now for a miner, basic choice here would be the retriever. Theese are only the basic skills needed.
But for a completely fresh toon to get into a retriever it would only be about 2 weeks. Netting you a SP amount of aproximately 561k.
True going for combat is abit more skill intensive and puts you at a higher Estimated SP. But it would also nullify the argument that you can't do anything because of learning skills.
I chose only to pick up the most common proffesions. The advantage here aswell is that once you complete your learning skills you will be able to get into any t2 frigate of your choice once you train the skills needed for it. But you will also be able to so something while you train the learning skills, granted level 1's aren't that much fun, but you will be able to do them somewhat efficently. The skillplan lacks other needed skills which is true, but those do not really have a huge impact on level 1's in my exerpience.
Anyway theese are just my two cents.
