The Short Skill Plan is intended to get new players into useful ship hulls early so they can take part in EVE University fleets while they train up the more advanced skillplans.

Timescales

Training times vary depending on whether the character is Alpha or Omega, and depending on their attributes, implants and any cerebral accelerators.

The following are estimated timescales, with no implants or accelerators:

Frigate DD Basic

Omega: 8 hours, 31 minutes
Alpha: 17 hours, 2 minutes

Frigate DD Improved

Omega: 3 days, 17 hours, 1 minute, 42 seconds
Alpha: 7 days, 10 hours, 3 minutes, 23 seconds

Cruiser DD Basic

Omega: 4 days, 15 hours, 34 minutes, 6 seconds
Alpha: 9 days, 7 hours, 8 minutes, 11 seconds
