Skills Profile Focused on Frigates

Starwalker’s current skills profile was focused around frigates with a good selection of damage, tank, fitting and support skills. However, what this also meant was that the skills for larger ships were either trained to a low level only or missing.



Even with the frigate focus and accumulation of around 17m skill points Starwalker was still unable to fly either stealth bombers or interceptors. It seemed that a good next step would be to decide on what ship would be flown next - interceptors or something bigger like battle cruisers.

If Starwalker wanted to fly battle cruisers then a number of additional skills would need to be trained to a much higher level, including things like drones. Of course, considering any training need beyond ability to fly should also be balanced with the main reason that Starwalker lost ships – pilot error.

The final factor to consider was that flying battle cruisers would also increase the cost of any loss. However, given the proliferation of battle cruiser and similar sized vessels then it would also increase the potential for getting into fights.

Starwalker spent a lot of time in space looking for fights, for example, the most recent roam had started in Heild, went to Ennur up to Gusandall and finally on to Uemon. No fights but not for lack of looking, perhaps a battle cruiser would increase the chances for a fight at the cost of more expensive losses.

  1. I think battlecruisers are the better way to go as opposed to another class of frigates. As fun as frigates are, as you pointed out there are just more battlecruises being flown around.
