Cruiser V and Battleship V still take a lot of time (although I think cruiser V is the most common 'it takes too long' complaint).
And then there's titans.. new players don't even know what to do with them, but that doesn't keep them from wanting to fly 'the biggest ship' and checking EVEMon..
I may be wrong, but I think it is kind a funny that you do not here many whines about the length of time to get into a Hulk. My guess is that it may be a bit shorter time then to get BS V.

Those people are missing the one vital (real life) character trait needed to get the most from this game: patience.
I guess the lack of whines for the time to get into a properly tanked Hulk is due to the ability for someone to sit and click roids for hours on end ='ing patience.
But as for a learning skill training nerf, I would say it is not needed. Train then or don't. I think it would be cool to try and play an alt with no learning skills past what is given at the begining which I would counter by not using implants. To see what the progression would be like.

look at it this way, if EVE was a woman, would you you treat her like a lady or a tramp?
I guess it woulddepend on the night

As noob I will put my opinion in. I would say time wise the real sink comes at level 4 of the basic skills. I think somewhere around 2 days worth of training for each skill, give or take. So as a new player the intrinsic value of the extra +1 from the basic skill and the +3 from the advanced skills is where the issue really comes to light.
So to the vets I pose this question. If a noob starts with balanced attributes say 6-8 in all 5 attributes plus 3 attribute points from basic learnig plus a +3 implant in each slot: is that a really gimped toon SP/time for a toon in the first years and a half of being in game?
I would say that spending the 3 days to train all basics learning skills to 3 with +3 implants would be plenty of attribute buffer for the 1st year of training. I may be totally incorrect on this since I do not use EVE mon. EDIT: And save about 20 million to boot

Even if you're only subbing for a month, 4+3 makes sense. 4+4 takes a little over 3 months to pay back. Most people reduce their payback time by skimping on Charisma, because so few skills use that stat.
I recall finishing my last learning skill (Learning 5) just after Christmas 06, about 3 months after I started.
If so, when I dedicate a set time to train my advanced skills to IV that will pay off 3 months after completing all IV in Adv skills?
So I loose @21 days of functional skill training time but gain that time back within 3 months.
