Line 3:

A calm voice, more calm then we would ever be once we traveled far from our first station and our first career agents.

We were skill feed along the way. And they were fast. Real fast. We could start the training and move on to the next mission and be skilled up and ready to go when we got there. This would be ~~the~~ first lessons -- skilling up is not easy.

We were skill feed along the way. And they were fast. Real fast. We could start the training and move on to the next mission and be skilled up and ready to go when we got there. But this expectation would soon be damped by the hard truths of the skill rank -- the demon that lowers our skill point rate and dampens our mad rush to perfection (or at least level IV). This would be our first lessons -- skilling up is not easy.

What were we to do? As far as I have come today, I still don't have a definitive answer. The answer I choose at the time was "certificate training". Surly that was the way to go. But what Order? How far in?

The answer must be Careers! Yes, of course -- career based training! And after all those career missions, we must know what career that is. Yes? Sadly, no -- at least not for me and my girls. (Yes, all my toons are girls~~. But~~ that is another story)

So I set about to limit each of my toons to 3 careers (maybe 4). That should do it. Then train certificates to level I in the first career before training to level I of the second and so on and so forth. But wait! A career in PvP (or PvE for that matter) required a lot of skills in more than one certificate! OK -- so all certificates for a given career to level I before lower priority careers got any training. Seemed reasonable. But what seems reasonable to a Nob is often the symptom of a misunderstanding.
