Archive:NSC Skill Recommendations

The EVE University NullSec Campus does not have any mandated skill requirements for joining the Campus or participating in any Campus Fleets. This page is to serve as a reference for new members to the Campus and to inform them on the recommended skills to conduct Fleet roles or activities safely within Syndicate

There are no Mandated Skills!

Main article: Support Skills

On the off chance you did not notice the banner at the top of the page, THERE ARE NO MANDATED SKILLS required to join the NSC. Anyone in E-Uni can join the NSC, at any time. What this page seeks to do is to provide a road map for players, many of which are new to the game, to train the appropriate skills to fly T1 Frigates, Destroyers and Cruisers within NSC fleets so that members of the campus can gain the maximum enjoyment out of their time with us. This is a not a perfect skill plan to make you perfect pilot, nor is it specific to any doctrine. You do not need to follow it rigidly and it is highly likely that the majority of players will already have most of these skills trained.

There are three parts to this plan

• The Complete Newbro - This short train will get you into a well fit, solid Fleet Tackle role allowing members to take part in any and every NSC fleet.
• The Basic Skills - These skills will round off a pilot's skill set and allow them to competently fly T1 Frigates and Destroyers.
• The Recommended Skills - These skills will move the pilot into T1 cruisers with an appropriate T2 tank.

Again, these skills are NOT MANDATED. They are a guideline for those pilots who are unsure of how to train their skills effectively.

Complete Newbro

Please see the Short Skill Plan

Basic Skills

After Completion of the Short Skill Plan the next recommendation is to move on to the Pyramid Skill Plan. This will vastly improve your ability to sit in various ships from the multiple doctrines currently employed by the University.

Recommended Skills

The Recommended Skill plan builds on the Basic Skills allowing pilots to fly Heavy Tackle, EWAR, Logistics and DPS roles with T1 Cruisers in every NSC Fleet. Beginning to move away from the Alpha skillset, it features fitting and capacitor skills which are useful to any and every ship that you will ever fly, as well as the skills to fit both a T2 Armor and Shield tank. Navigation and Gunnery skills are also rounded off, just short of acquiring T2 weapons. Missile skills are included but are not a priority for those races that do not use missiles heavily (Amarr and Gallente) until you are ready to cross train into another race. Drones on the other hand begin to see use in almost every ship from Cruisers and above, and also feature heavily in NullSec PvE, therefore everyone should now complete the drone skills too. Again, like the Basic Skills, there are no priorities over which skills to train as this is intended purely as a guide, however you should look to complete all the skills featured to squeeze the most out of your ships.

~ 183 days, 12 hours and 52 minutes worth of training in total (~ 8 million skillpoints)

So what now?

The answer is.... it is completely up to you. With a solid foundation of skills behind you, there are a number of different directions you could go.

• The move from Cruisers to Battlecruisers is a short train with Battlecruisers currently offering the best value in terms of ISK/damage ratio.
• T2 Small and Medium weapon systems will allow access to T2 ammo types, often greatly improving a ships DPS.
• Cross training to another set of racial ships will open many options regarding which ships and roles a pilot can fly.
• Sentry Drones and T2 Medium Drones are a great way to improve blitzing times for missions or belt ratting.
• Covert Ops and Interceptors will vastly improve your freedom of travel around NullSec.

The choice is yours.
