Just another one of these posts you've probably seen around a thousand times. I however got lost in all the replies and - moreover - would like a direct answer to my questions with the changes of retribution patch in mind.
You see, I'm quite fond of the Minmatar race. The biggest reason for me to play eve and especially minmatar is just for the sheer looks. How silly that may sound.
Therefore I am not interested in other races, other ships- even if that means I'll not get a 100% out of what I'm willing to do.
Other than that, I'm also quite the carebear so as for now I'm not really interested in PvP either. Though, that aspect may well change in the future after I got me some isk and experience. Especially isk thus.
Now, baring all that in mind- I'm a bit lost in the fittings of my ships for the use of missioning L3's and above. (see below a summary of my skills)
As I'm fairly low on isk, the only worthy ship i've got is the Cyclone and I do assume that in the same path the Maelstrom is next?
I always loved the looks of the hurricane, but seeing as most of my skills are shield based.. that's probably not such a great idea? Or is it possible to fit the hurricane with a shield tank? Be it active or passive.
What would be a good (shield) fit for the Cyclone, the maelstrom and eventually the hurricane? Or should I drop the shields and go for armor tank instead, get me just the hurricane? What about the Tornado tho - mainly for pvp later on i guess?
I mainly go for arty's because the speed of the ships seem so extremely slow that I can't see me flying autocannons (and well, the sound of the arty's just sounds amazing anyways)
On a sidenote: I'm an extreme fan of the minmatar carrier looks. Though, knowing it'll take me more than a year training (and twice as much for gathering the isk..), might just keep that path in mind.
It's hard finding a "minmatar" only guide or maybe i'm just not searching it right. The biggest problem, however, is that whenever I ask "hey guys anyone got a good cyclone fit or fit for -insert minmatar ship- people always come up with other ships, other races and that's just not what i'm looking for.
Anyways, thank you for your time reading this and - eventually - thanks in advance for a helpful reply. Even if it covers but a small part of the above request.
Oh and, my excuses if I may have posted this in the wrong section in the wrong forum or anything of that sorts.
Cheers.

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.
I have Tactical Shield manipulation level at the moment and as far as the drones go, i only have Scout Drone Operation lvl 4 as well need to get those other ones indeed but thought to focus on gunnery and shield skills first. Having a hard time choosing which skill to lvl first as they all seem important.
I also like those heavy missiles, tho they don't seem to do that much damage at the moment (maybe i should start using the right ammo, kind of sticking to heavy mjolnirs atm)
I might just swap my cyclone for a hurricane, just need the isk for it - so mining, salvaging and missioning away for it. |

Thanks all for the valuable input.
I'll try the above recommendations out as soon as possible (and read it all first more thoroughly since I was a bit short on time due to x-mas (merry Christmas to all btw)) and keep that Tornado fit in the back of my mind since I do love the ship itself- which is after all the real reason to fly it!
Unfortunately i'm stuck on Tech 4's at max for most of the things, but I am aiming for Tech II's as soon as possible. Now it's just a matter of making the right skill choices at the right time  |
