I'm leaving on vacation and I'll be away from the game for around 20 days. I was
wondering which skill is necessary if I'm trying to pvp and/or pve. I have Minmatar
Cruiser to 5. I was deciding between Minmatar Battleship 5, Battlecruisers 5,
Thermodynamics 5, or Advanced Weapons Upgrades 5. Any advice is welcomed.

I would go with Battlecruisers V. Hurricane for the win! ----- Ambush. Hit and run. Gank before tank. Speed is life. |

BC 5 is awesome.

Thank you all for the advice. Are there any other skills that are essential that I have them at 5? I searched and read that Advanced Weapons Upgrades 5 is pretty good skill to have. Any suggestions?

If you don't have it yet Drone Interfacing 5 is also a good option, an extra 20% drone damage is very nice.

Interesting suggestions, but you will be kicking yourself if you train BC 5 as opposed to BS 5. Battlecruisers are cool and all, but just not a necessary class of ships to have and be able to fly well. Battleships, on the other hand, everyone at some point should train up for and be able to use well. One of the most obvious situations in which BCs are a dumb choice over BSs are lvl 4 missions.

Yes because Maurauders are so much more valuable than Command Ships, especially for anything not concerning carebaring. /sarcasm
While i would not dispute the necessity of BS5 vs BC5, in my opinion both skills are equally useful when viewing eve as a whole. The reason you gave is utter rubbish. Level 4s are very easily doable in Command Ships, in many cases even more efficiently then in BS (Nighthawk any one). Not to mention that battlecruiser 5 is a race non specific skill which will greatly benefit him should he ever crosstrain.
Both skills have their value, i'd even go as far that i'd recommend bc5 over bs5 simply because it is the clealy more versatile skill.

I would recommend AWU 5 as it benefits you on every single ship you will ever fly.
Alternatively you havent mentioned whether you fly any other races. BC 5 will give you maximum ship bonuses on not 1 but 4 races, and unlike T2 ship skills (eg HAC 5 or recon 5) you only need racial cruiser to 3 in order to be able t fly any race BC with maximum ship bonuses.
I would probably go for AWU 5 if you fly just minnie ships or BC 5 if you fly multiple races.

You should also keep in mind that when you return Eve will have refunded all the SP that you invested in the Learning Skills so you may actually be able to get several of the skills you want if not all of them.

Wait, are you trying to deny the claim that BS 5 is a better skill than BC 5 for running lvl 4s? Either you're kidding or you're ignorant. I repeat, it is VERY OBVIOUS that BS 5 is a better skill for mission running than BC 5. This is obvious to everyone but you. Simply because you can do missions in a command ship (who is talking about command ships anyway, the OP is asking about battlecruisers; command ships would require a lot more training) doesn't make them a smart choice over BSs.
Again, BS 5 is one of those fundamental skills you're gonna want a lot more than BC5 in the long run. This is not just for carebearing purposes (where BS 5 is obviously better). You need BS 5 for capital ships as well if you ever want to go there. Get BC 5 when training time permits, but if you want to train what you're going to get the most use out of and need the most, battleships of course.

Go with BC 5 or AWU 5. As you are considering thermodynamics 5 I can only assume you like to PVP, and for that battle cruisers are a lot more fun than BS.

BC 5 or BS 5 is far more valuable , AWU 4 is the standard, go for AWU 5 once you have already BC/BS 5 and T2 large guns with support skills at 5, not before

Optimal selection highlighted. The rest can wait a bit longer.
At least this is what I would have done.
Btw, not sure if your attributes are getting boosted on the 14th, but if they are, you may want to consider just getting the longest one on that list, to prevent loss of training time.

How about cybernetics V so you can add an extra attribute to your implant?
