E-Uni Basics Skill Plan

	EVE University offers a class on:
Skill Planning (CORE class)

The E-Uni Basics Skill Plan is intended to get new characters into useful ship fits early so that they can take part in many EVE University fleets while they train up more advanced skill plans. It is not required, but it is recommended.

Pilots who are not members of the University might still find the E-Uni Basics Skill Plan useful if they want to basic skills in a wide range of cheap Tech 1 frigates and cruisers.

Summary

This plan is intended for very new characters. If you have been playing a while it is likely that your character will have most of these skills already.

The E-Uni Basics Skill Plan is broken into two segments: the Frigate Damage Dealing plan, and the Cruiser Damage Dealing Plan. They are intended to be trained in that order, and the Cruiser plan builds on the skills in the Frigate plan.

These skill plans will not get you into all EVE University doctrine fits, but they will enable you to fly more basic fits for some of the same hulls, which will let you attend fleets while you are training the necessary skills for doctrine fits.

Timescales

Training times will vary depending on whether the character is Alpha or Omega, and on their attributes, implants and any cerebral accelerators. The following are estimated timescales, with no implants or accelerators:

Frigate DD

N.B. The following timescales assume that you have Hull Upgrades III trained, as most starting characters do. However, if your character is Caldari they will not have this by default, and the plan will take a few hours longer if you have not already trained this.

Omega: 5 hours, 58 minutes, 10 seconds

Alpha: 11 hours, 56 minutes, 20 seconds

Cruiser DD

Omega: 5 days, 3 hours, 47 minutes, 14 seconds

Alpha: 10 days, 7 hours, 34 minutes, 28 seconds

Cost

All of the skills on this plan are covered under EVE University's Skillbook Reimbursement Program.

The total costs for each stage of the plan are as follows (at directly injectable prices):

Frigate DD: 1,716,000 ISK (if you don't buy the skills your character already has)

Cruiser DD: 7,025,000 ISK

Suggested shopping lists

We suggest that EVE University members spread the skillbook purchases over 3 days.

N.B. You will not need to purchase any of the skills you already have trained, which will reduce the costs. Each race starts with its own turret skill, for instance. If you have completed the tutorial you will also have your race's frigate skill.

If you have the Freshman title in EVE University, you can reimburse yourself for the cost of these skills by following the instructions on the Skillbook Reimbursement Program page. You can also check in the hangars for the campus you are based in, to see whether they have any of the skill books available.

If you are in EVE University but don't yet have the Freshman title, you can still obtain reimbursement for the cost of the skills. You will need to copy and paste the prepared messages (below each shipping list) into the "Corp" channel in-game so someone with the Freshman title or above can reimburse you from the Skillbook wallet. Remember to remove from the list any skills you already had trained.

In-game corporate skill plans

See: EVE University Corporation Skill Plans

The E-Uni Basics Skill Plan is available as a set of in-game skill plans. EVE University members may directly access the plans through the Corporate Skill Plan utility. Non-members may access the plans using the links on this page, as described below.

EVE University Members: To find these skill plans, choose "Skill Plans > Corporation Plans", on your in-game Skills interface.

All Players: The skill plans shown later on this page each have their in-game Corporate Skill plan name listed, along with text that can be copied to produce a link to the skill plan in-game. To utilize the link, copy all text listed after the "Corporate Skill Plan link" for the plan you want to generate a link for, including the leading <url> and trailing </url>. Then paste this string of text into your in-game notepad, and the game will automatically convert the pasted text into a link, which can then be used or shared.

The copy-and-paste link method described above, can be used by characters outside of EVE University, to access the EVE University skill plans.

A link to the Skill Plans can also be generated and shared in-game from the plans themselves.

Ships

Once you have trained these skill plans, you will be able to fly a basic version of fits used in many University fleets, including the following hulls:

Frigates

Fast tackle

•  Atron
•  Executioner
•  Slasher
•  Condor

Damage / secondary tackle

•  Kestrel
•  Punisher
•  Rifter
•  Tormentor
•  Merlin

Cruisers

•  Thorax
•  Caracal
•  Moa
•  Rupture
•  Stabber

For some ideas for some ship fits you will be able to fly see Short skill plan ships. These are not EVE University doctrine fits, but they will allow you to fly useful hulls and join fleets while you are training the more advanced skills required for the doctrine ships.

Where next?

EVE University does not require any particular direction in skill training for members, but pilots might find the following resources useful:

• Reading about skills and learning will help you think through longer-term skill planning, and will show what you can do to train skills faster.
• The Pyramid Skill Plan offers a useful way to conceptualize routes through more advanced training.
• Fitting skills make it easier to fit any ship.
• Support skills are important aids in getting the most out of your ships.
• The Magic 14 skills are not a formal plan and should not all be trained to V at once (that would be boring), but they are 14 skills which benefit every ship you fly, and players who plan to spend much time in space—that is, almost all players—will find them useful.
