I can't sleep, so I'll post on here instead.
I have been playing this game now for just over three months, and basically I am wondering whether to start from scratch. I rolled a miner, a Gallente Prospector to start with. After about a month I'd decided that I preferred missions to mining. My rather basic combat skills got me through missions, and the mining skills I started with were still useful because I did still mine. Recently though, I have been mining less and less. My mining barge hasn't left the hangar for two weeks now whereas my Hurricane is seeing action every day. My corp also recently joined a PvP-oriented alliance and I am now very interested in the world of PvP and want to get into more. So, in a nutshell, I'm a miner turned combat pilot.
I have four million SP now, with two major sinks:
- A million SP is in Industry, the mining and refining skills I started with. Now that I don't mine or build anything anymore, this is kinda a million useless skillpoints.
- Another million SP is in Spaceship Command. I have Caldari, Gallente and Minmatar all trained up to battlecruiser level. Being as I can now safely say that Gallente is my race of choice, that makes a load of useless SP.
I have average shield tanking skills from when I flew Caldari ships, and I have average armor tanking skills from when I flew Gallente/Minmatar ships. I have Hybrids and Projectiles trained up to Medium size to an average level. I have levels in a lot of missile skills, rockets, standard, heavy, FoF, defenders and two or three support skills. I have remote armour repair skills, the last time I used one of those was two months ago. I have basic exploration/probe skills, even though I've used them to little effect a handful of times.
It seems that starting afresh would remove a lot of useless skills and now that I have experimented with different ships and fighting styles I know what to train for next time round (Gallente, hybrids, drones, armour tank). If I did start afresh, what Gallente bloodline would be best?
I guess the biggest things I have to lose is stuff like loyalty points and standing. The loyalty points though I can blow on implants and faction ammo. The standing won't be too hard to regain if I train up social skills?
After all that, what are player's thoughts? In this situation would you start again or muddle through with the range of skills I seem to have? Is the character worth keeping? Apologies if it sounds like it I've answered my own question, I'd just like some input from other players.
