Train whatever you feel more comfortable flying. Like i love the stabber alot.
If my stabber got nerfed, id prove the general public wrong in the fact that it still works very well, and laugh in your face.
Prove everybody wrong.

If you don't over specialise you shuld be fine. I decided early on to leave my options open as much as possible and every nerf proves the wisdom of the decision.
I got Amarr cruiser 5 and could fly a curse just as the nos nerf hit. Pity. However it also meant I could fly a sacrilege just as it got boosted. Nice.
A little flexibility beats absolute specialisation 9 times out of 10.

what this guy says.
its a good example to train for at least 2 races, so when one is inevitably nerfed, the other is probably ok still.
people do tend to follow best ship classes, then soon as they can fly them they are nerfed.
This strategy hasn't worked so well for me with caldari/gallente...they can't seem to stop the nerfing.

i was planning on skilling up my gunnery a lot (aka sharpshooter, traject analysis, motion predict, surgical strike, and a tech 2 tree) and then do the 30ish days to get t2 guns of another race and the 20ish days for another cruiser 5. and get myself a new hac, recon, logistic, and command ship :D and get all the specs to 4.
most things are more equal then you may think. although yes a few ships are quite awesome in comparison. but everything can be countered in someway. just bring a bigger blob (just kidding everyone)

Originally by: Dheorl I think its more that you train for something thinking its bog standard, you just like it then before you know it its become FOTM and boom, the bat comes in the direction of an innocent person out trying to enjoy himself.
Well thats what I find to be the case anyways.
Oh, yes, that's why we have so many people moaning they trained for the Curse and now it doesn't make sense 
Everyone just thought it was bog-standard. Riiiight...
the curse is still quite useable and soloable.. thank you..

train minmatar. that way you have to train 3 races at once. it will take long but it will put you on the safe side :P

Stick to your guns, I've flown Gallente Cruisers and Battleships all the way, no desire to start cross training (or yet train these 'T2' whiz-bang flying machines ).
If you keep cross training, you'll inevitably be distinctly average at everything.

Do what I'm doing and train for both Caldari and Amarr, two of the most gimped racial ship families (T1-only ship basis) in the game.
Sooner or later one or the other will get a boost, and the other two races will get the nerfbat.
Either way, FOTM-based ships/setups will almost always get the nerfbat. Just look at ECM, unstacked nano/inertia stabs, upcoming changes to damps, etc. -

sad but true. How many Gallente pilots do you know who trained Amarr solely for the Curse/Pilgrim? (and NO laser skills) I've lost count 
Same with everyone who trained Minmatar to fly a Nanophoon with no projectile skills, or the people who are, right now, diving into Vagabond training when they're only a month old and will probably moan if/when the Mass-increaser modules ever get implemented :P

Fly what you want to fly, damn the nerfbat. A good, high-SP, experienced pilot can make even the sucky ships do a good job. And the Curse, for instance, despite being nerfed with NOS, can still energy neut down most carriers' cap recharge if you have a ship cap Xfering you. It's still highly viable, just requires different tactics (Curse + Auguror/Guardian = your foes are out of cap).
Personally, I'm training a lot of the background skills which apply to many ships before I start branching out from my current Gallente frigates to battlecruisers. ------------------------------ One more soldier off to war... And one Velator in my hangars. |

Originally by: Oravainen Tuomas It appears you haven't been around very long. The apoc was, for a long time, the most desirable ship in the game.

Originally by: Lux Exterior Is it just me, or does the nerfbat whistle across the back of my knees every time I think I've got my training properly organized.
I appreciate that many of the older players have there skills so broadly spread that it is only a minor inconvenience to them, but many younger players like me spend months specializing to try and level the playing field a bit.
Stop flying the flavor of the month and you won't get nerfed.
I suppose good nerfbat insurance would be training Amarr.

Originally by: Xarax This is why you pick the biggest underdog race in the game, and train the hell out of it. Do not divert your path...ever. When the others are being nerferd, you can sit back and say, "What are they b!tching about?".

Well DUH! You have the best race trained up of course you didn't train another race. What, are you going to downgrade to Caldari?

When I started I stuck to gallente even though they sucked hard at the time and Amarr were king. But I didnt care that amarr were uber, i enjoyed flying gallente so i stuck with them and eventually they became the best race to fly. Even in the future when gal are nerfed to hell and back ill still fly em.
Although cross training a second race its a good idea too, i've branched into minmatar because I like the style.

Originally by: Toppar Wear I took minmatar because they where the underdogs and could choose their damage.. But damn i was wrong, they were ****e ..
But its really paying off now, I got nearly maxed skills for all the t2 minmatar ships being a little nano boy 
Now im training up gellente.. Eventhough they are gonna hit them with the nerfmobile next patch I enjoy the close range fighting and drone mricomanagement..
