Hello,
Been playing for about 2 months now I think, have just over a million skill points. I've decidsed to focus on a caldari carrier as the ide aof force projection appeals to me and I need focus.
Could anyone advise me in what order to train the skills, for example should I train up all the drone skills first? or all the ship command skills first etc.
Regards Spike

In my opinion you will need all your engineering skills to level 5, all your drones skills to lvl 5, all your spaceship commans skills to lvl 5 ... I shall create a skill queue now for you (my attributes to show you)
What are your attributes?

The base skills of a carrier are fun.
Caldari BS 5
Adv Spaceship Com 5 (35 mil isk?)
Spaceship Com 5
Warp Drive Op 5
Jump Drive Op 1 (30 something mil isk I think)
Drone Interfacing 5
Science 5
Caldari Carrier 1 (450 Mil isk I think) (You'll want this at 4)
Capital Ships 3 (350 mil isk I think) (This should be at 4 also, go into warp faster)
Then the mods
Tactical Shield Manipulation 5 (For a Cap Shield Booster)
Capital Shield Booster 1 (You'll want this at 4 as it reduces how much cap it uses)
Leadership 5 (Fighters)(35 mil isk)
Cap Shield Xfers and Cap Capactor Xfers both req level 5 skills
Fighters 1 (You'll want this at 4 as it's a 20% per fighter increase in damage)
You'll want all your learning skills at 5 and adv learning skills at 4 at least, then a min of a full rack of +3 implants
You'll want all your capacitor and shield skills at 4 min but 5 prefered.
You'll want Jump Drive Op at 5 with the other two jumpdrive skills at 4 min.
I'm sure I'm missing a few. It's going to cost you about 2.5 Billion for skills+ship+insurance+mods.
But simply having the skills alone isn't enough, you have to know how to use a ship like that, and learning to know how to use it is done through experiance with other ships first, then figureing out what you can and can not do with it.
A Caldari carrier can tank between 640 to over a 1000 DPS, with about 3 bil in officer mods it can get between 85-90 in each resist. You can tank 9 battleships (without NOS) anywhere between 4 and 10 minutes depending on setup.
It's own fighters are its biggest weekness, you really need to learn how to control your fighters if you take it into a fight. (Really hope CCP adds in a way to keep the fighters from following a target into warp)
Also, train the normal drone skills up, heavy and scout drones up to 5, all the navigation and tracking skills to atleast 4. If you come up against a frigate fleet, it's much more effective unleashing 9-15 drones (adv drone interfacing+mods someday) then fighters.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

For the skills, several months (three) but for the money about a year.

You can't realistically fly a capital ship proficiently with less than 1,5 years under your belt.
