Aim for these and you will be a pretty good Megathron pilot.

I may have missed some.. But you can figure them out after u trained those above skills

These arent the requirments to fly the ship basically.. these are so you can use the ship effectively - Not to its " Full potential " but you will get near enough as much as u can get out of it

I would like to use it for whatever missions the megathron can do on its own comfortably.

level 3s then?

I hate to say it, but most level 4 missions will require some faction mods and lots of skills in order to complete them. Even then, you will have to execute the mission perfectly.

There is a stacking penalty... and 5x Cap Rechargers is pretty common.

Actually cap modules (cap reachargers/CPRs/PDUs/Batteries) do not have a stacking penalty

If there was no stacking penalty, you would be 100% better with 5 fitted. That's not the case, each one is applied in turn, with the reduction to cap recharge happening after the previous one is applied - hence effectively stacking.

It's not really a penalty, the bonus effects do stack though...

e.g. You have cap recharge at 100s. You load 1 cap recharger II and it drops to 80s (giving your 20% reduction). A 2nd one drops you to 64s (only giving you a 16s drop), rather than a further 20s if there was no stacking...

Still well worthwhile fitting 5 on the mission domi though because the figures are much larger.

Here's some commentary and constructive criticism.

Drone Support Skill (Support Drones?) isn't needed very much.
The extra drone skills aren't needed, either, since you don't want the rats shooting at your drones in the first place.
Energy System and Energy Management are really, really, important skills.
Sharpshooter 4 - needed at 5 in order to train Large Railgun Specialization!
Motion Prediction 4 - needed at 5 in order to train Large Blaster Specialization!
Large Hybrid Turret 5 - train this if you wish to train for T2 guns, you'll be forgiven if you only train to level 4 and use Prototype Gauss Guns or Modal Blaster Cannons instead. Note that you'll need Medium and Small Hybrid Turret to level 5 as well as Medium and Small specialization skills to level 4 in order to train Large specialization skills
Drone Interfacing 4 - this skill is more important to train to level 5 than drone specialization skills (are to train to any level)
Gallente Battleship 4 - get this skill to level 5 if you are serious. It adds 5% more damage and 5% more tracking and is thus a better deal than level 5 large turret.
Armour compensations 4 - if you like passive hardeners (which saves a LOT of CPU), otherwise put these skills on the shelf.
Evasive Manouvering 5 - this is a prerequisite for interceptors, and unless you want to turn like a fridge instead of a safe (i.e. slowly, but not quite as slowly as before), don't train this. Low priority.
High Speed Manouvering - keep this skill at level 1. Seriously. Don't train it. this is the MWD cap use skill, and doing missions you will not fit MWD ever.

That said, I recommend RAILGUNS. Skip everything to do with blasters until you feel like it (and until the devs've fixed them). That means you can skip the following, really:
* Small, medium, and large blaster specialization
* Motion prediction (doesn't need to go to level 5)
* High speed manouvering (doesn't need to go higher - though you should have it at 1 already)
* Caldari and Amarr drone specialization (use Gallente, thermal, to do more damage or Mimatar, explosive, to do damge your turrets do not. Minmatar drones are also faster)

And last but not least, a rather nifty mission setup:
HIGH-SLOTS :
~~~~~~~~~~~~
> [1811 | 49] 350mm Railgun II
> [1811 | 49] 350mm Railgun II
> [1811 | 49] 350mm Railgun II
> [1811 | 49] 350mm Railgun II
> [1811 | 49] 350mm Railgun II
> [1811 | 49] 350mm Railgun II
> [1811 | 49] 350mm Railgun II
> [2000 | 43] E500/Diminishing Nosferatu


MED-SLOTS :
~~~~~~~~~~~
> [ 1 | 12] Cap Recharger II
> [ 1 | 12] Cap Recharger II
> [ 1 | 12] Cap Recharger II
> [ 1 | 12] Cap Recharger II


LOW-SLOTS :
~~~~~~~~~~~
> [2300 | 55] Large Armor Repairer II
> [2300 | 55] Large Armor Repairer II
> [ 1 | 44] Armor Kinetic Hardener II/I
> [ 1 | 44] Armor Thermic Hardener II/I
> [ 1 | 44] Armor Explosive Hardener II/I
> [ 0 | 3] Capacitor Power Relay I
> [ 0 | 3] Capacitor Power Relay I

Run forever when using Iridium (not counting NOS). NOS is for problems breakin

Salmod - you're missing a low slot on the Dominix setup.
