I figure you need a way to make income on top of your main character being able to do combat. It would seem the entire reason for making money is to do combat in the first place.
Yea, I appreciate that I won't get to the end game in a week, but I have ZERO control over the rate of progress. It is predetermined that my skills are going to progress at a rate that takes months and years whether I am a complete idiot or I do things more strategically. I like to be rewarded for being able to fire more brain cells then the next guy. It doesn't seem that is possible with this system, at least as far as my skills go. I am sure it makes a difference on my wallet.
If I go mining to make money then Prospect is the next step up from my Venture, no?
If I go exploring to make money then Buzzard is the next step up from my Heron, no?
Or are is there some other ships between that I am missing?
Well sort of, that used to be my gripe as well, but these days you can buy injectors to speed up your skills, so the more time/income you make the faster you can train. Really T1 ships should not take you long, the real "F this, it's way to long" curve starts with T2 ships, also any skills that require 20 plus days. for those into living in the game it's normal but for you and me and others with less time to commit it's a bit more of a, your kidding right? Then again, skill injectors.
As far as ships if you want to make much more money in pve head to Battle ships without training to much of other classes. it's more risky but L4 missions are way above in pay grade then what you make in L3's. If you rush to use a BS, get your drone skills up, because otherwise you will get webbed by a frig and loose your big shiny ship. Would also recommend a snipe type build with big guns as you will lack skills for more tactical and tank oriented fighting. After you start making the money you can train skills that make you more combat efficient, with that income you can buy injectors and speed the whole process up. Also read "eve survival" before you attempt L4's, it will tell you what to expect in a mission and what type of damage is incoming and what ammo to use.
As far as mining, well I know nothing of it :D
