With +3 implants and learning skills up pretty good.
So after wasting time with Minnie BS V its time to move to Amarr.
So how do yall deal with a long training skill like this? Train it at night? Or just set it and forget it.
Times like this I wish that Large Projectiles were worth anything. *sigh* |

Depends on what the skill is... If I REALLY want the skill say to pilot a ship that ive been look forward to then I set it and forget it... If its not a big issue then I train it when I know ill be gone for awhile either asleep or work. |

I just set it and forget it... If I have shorter skills I want to learn then I'll pick those while I'm on and just eat away at it. I stay pretty focused so most my skills are fairly long now. |

Prob my biggest problem I have had in this game is focus for the long term V skills. I have near 30 of them now. But man these BS skills take a long time. Joy of it I suppose is only two more to do after this one. Plan on having all Frigate - Cruiser - BS race skills to V. One day right. |

I've got Battlecruiser to 5, and Caldari Frigate/Cruiser/Battleship, plus a number of support skillz at 5 too.
I just set a long skill and then I either play EVE (run missions, or do my trading/hauling biz), or I play WoW, or I do something entirely different.
Or sometimes I decide to go at short skillz, and "clean up" all the short ones I still have at level 1 or 2, or even 3. Those are the rectally painful ones to train, mind you. Not the long ones. A long one just does its work, but if you have a dozen short ones, you must be vigilant and pay attention and all that.
(Although I've found EVE Dashboard for Windows XP to be a very valuable application in this regard. I never liked EVEmon, but the Dashboard does exactly what I want it to do, and saves me a lot of time and worry and logging-in-just-to-check.)

I just prefer longer skills then i forget about them, I can even sit with my Character Sheet open when iam bored and watch how long it's left lol

There's an Amarr problem?
Nothing that can't be solved by more Minmatar nerfs.

Yes, there should be a law against short skillz.

Then you'll be glad to hear that the CSM has been doing their job. A 2-skill Queue was one of the highest priority issues they presented to CCP in their conference in iceland.

I am a fan of training the short skills when I am playing and having long ones running in pieces when I am at work. Although things I really want I train in one go. And during them I either just play EVE or other games/activities.

After a while you sort of get bored with swapping skills all the time and the long skills are a blessing. I just started on Wing Command 5 and now I have 30 nice days that I don't have to worry about skill switching.

What I normally do with short skills is just turn them on when I'm online on EVE and then turn on a longer skill when I go offline again. You train it bit by bit until only 15 minutes or so are left and then eventually it will get done :P.
Just don't forget to change skill >_>
