Alright, so you've randomized your way through the character creator, and have a fat wad of cash in your new alt's account (see financing below). Now it's time to be careful and patient. This plan is predicated on using both remaps you'll have available. Scary, yes, but remember this toon is just for PI, nothing more. If you do decide to train this character further, you'll be maxed on Intelligence, which isn't too terrible. You certainly don't have to remap, either, it will just take about 14-1/2 days instead of 12.

Once you have these books, it's time to queue up! The following plan is based on two remaps, which will result in a completed plan in ~10 days and some hours (you'll already have Science III and Racial Frigate II):

If you've followed this plan, you just spent between 8-10 days training up your alt. So, first things first: '''Restart training your main character!''' (The first time I did this, I opened up EVEMon to see an empty training queue on one of my mains. That was painful.)

Also, keep in mind that just because you aren't training your main doesn't mean you can't play with your main. Get out there and be useful, as your new character may need some more scratch to get good colonies set up. Anyway, back to your new PI toon...

You'll notice that after your racial Hauler training, you could technically start PI farming, and you should. The rest of the skills are the icing on the cake that will speed you up and make you feel a little safer flying through space with a cargo full of goods that sell for millions.
