Hello I'm semi new to the game and i need some help. This game is deep and i mean that in a good way. the only promblem i don't have the slightest idea on how to be a good Cruiser pilot since that is my short term goal. so what i need is a list of skills req. to be a good cruiser pilot.
I'm Amarr and i really like this game i just need some info. I've downloaded Evemon and i want to plan out my short term goals i just need to know what i need to learn

First, if you are truly new welcome, and secondly...stick with frigates until you get the hang of the game. Reason, frigs are cheaper, easier to replace and once you know how to fly a frig effectively, all the other ships just fall in line.
Now, if you really want to be a cruiser pilot you need some basic skills to keep you alive. You can chose your own path, but your options are speed (outrun/out maneuver your enemy, tank and repair the damage they deal out, or just flat out gank them by dishing out more damage than they can take.
So, with that said here is a small list to get you going:
Engineering
Electronics
Energy Management
Energy Grid Upgrades
Shield Management
Mechanic
Repair Systems
Electronic Warfare
Electronics Upgrades
Propulsion Jamming
Signature Analysis
Navigation
Also, go to the ships and modules forum and find out what other people are fitting on Amarr cruisers. There are lots of old posts and stickies with good information. Find one you like, go into Evemon and click on each module to find out what skills you need to equip it, then train as necessary. At first, only train learning if Evemon suggests, don't let it keep you from actually flying in space.

And of course a high level of the Cruiser skill itself to take advantage of the ships individual bonuses.
I've always prefered to get the modules needed to build a great ship before getting into the actual ship. Frigates and cruisers might be the exception from this since they are both cheap and useful even early in ones career.
The best thing with getting mechanic / shield, engineering, electronics, navigation and such up to a high level early is that the T2 modules unlocked are very useful even on larger boats you will fly in the future and they will make the difference between life and death at times.

Engineering V
Electronics III or IV (i think you can get away with III)
Energy Systems Ops IV
Energy Management IV
Shield Management III
Medium lasers IV
Cruiser IV
Mechanic and Hull Upgrades IV (eventually you'll need upgrades V for use of T2 hardeners)
Repair Systems Ops IV
Drones V
Scout Drone Ops IV (eventually you'll need V for use of T2 drones)
Drone Interfacing and Combat Drone Ops III at least
Controlled Bursts IV and at least 3 levels on some of those other gunnery skills like Motion Prediction, Rapid Firing, Surgical Strike (plan on gunnery V as well)
Navigation IV
Afterburner and Fuel Conservation IV if you plan on running missions in it
Evasive Maneuvering and Acceleration Control III
High Speed Maneuvering IV if you plan on doing pvp and belt ratting in it
I'm sure i'm missing a few but this is to give you a general idea.

To only slightly hijack this topic, how would you adjust that list for a missile-oriented Caldari pilot? I'm currently flying a Caracel and have my eye on a Drake.
