What goals are you looking at which require 1-2 years of training?
In terms of straightforward goals the only ones I can think of in that range would be the high-end of capital ships - I might suggest these to be end-game content (though end-game is a little bit of a flexible term). You don't want the end-game content immediately, it would be boring.
The journey is important, quiting because you can't get a Titan on day 2 misses the point of that.
SP is a visible measure of what you're capable of, of course, but it's a deceptive one. A pilot with half a million of the right SP and the knowledge and resources to leverage it properly is far better off than one with 100 million of the wrong SP, the wrong ship, the wrong situation...
And there is no lower limit on the number of SP it takes to have fun - I know several pilots who were pirating lowsec, ratting null or engaging in fleet battles with less than a million SPs, in some cases created specifically to minimise their clone costs...
I am somewhat impressed that you were able to answer some of the questions.
1-2 years of training would put you into a capital ship yes. Core skills? NO.
Now go ask some one that has a capital ship. They will say it's suicide.
Now I can see your angle but I nowhere near stated that I'm butthurt because I can't fly a Titan.
Half a million vs 100m that was funny... Really funny. There you are talking about some who knows the game in and out.
Probably an alt flying with the 500k SP. So the main account is the real player not the 500k SP.
Also this post is for NEW PLAYERS AND WHY MOST OF THEM QUIT SO EARLY.
Pirating in lowsec to minimise clone cost with low SP. That isn't even a sentence.
If you can't afford your clone cost you are doing something very wrong with all that "A pilot with half a million of the right SP and the knowledge and resources to leverage it properly is far better off than one with 100 million of the wrong SP, the wrong ship, the wrong situation...".
You look incredibly stupid right now.
I don't even really want to post this reply but you asked for it.
