Like the title says: what shiptype did you pick after the cruiser? I started with Frigates, Cruisers and industrials... what next?
Just curious... thats all.

yeah take cruiser to V. Become an awesome cruiser pilot. Then move on to BC's and do the same thing there.
Nothing is worse in eve then being able to fly ships you cant really use. Using them and USING them are two different things.

I've got just under 5 mill SPs.
I cannot fire anything bigger than a small missile or a small turret. I cannot fly a cruiser.
However, I can fly my lovely Assault Frigate around, and the supporting skills are coming along nicely too.
Running straight for the top ships means you often won't have the skills to fit them properly. I don't think I could honestly say I was fitting my BS properly on my main until I was on around 18 mill SPs.
Plus AFs are much more fun to fly than a BC or BS, and there's much less of an ouch when they go pop compared to a HAC.

Interestingly enough, I chose battleship and went back to cruisers. I went straight for battleships because we didn't have battlecruisers back then. I really started to dislike battleships, eventually just self-destructing both the first bs I ever owned. When HACs came out, I went for those and never looked back.
Even with T2 bcs out, I prefer HACs. The Deimos is a nice little ship though it neerds (and is getting) some love. The Ishtar.. well, the ishtar just rocks at every single thing there is to rock at.
Nowadays though, I have the skills to effetively pilot battleships and I am starting to really love them. They're only good when you have good backup skills.

BSs are better then HACs in almost all situations. The only strong point HACs have over Battleships is their better agility and speed. In all other areas a BS is better (and cheaper - ).
Anybody believing in the HAC hype I would advise to check the Ships & Mods section of the forums and get some info on them.
So after cruiser I would recomend either BattleCruiser (very affordable) or BattleShip (reasonable pricing, powerfull).

When I was first training skills there wasnt much to chose from. Frigates, Cruisers, Industrials. When battleships became available I trained for em, back then though there was no shuttles, ceptors, AF, hacs or Bc's.

frigate>cruiser>>>>>battleship>>>HACs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Field Commands>>>undecided
But favorite by far is the deimos, Astarte next, and Megathron third. Ishtar is cool in performance, but I can't stand looking at a green hairblower.

Frig > Cruiser > Battleship (as BC's hadn't been released)
Though now I mainly fly whatever the op calls for. BC's being my favorite.

BS's, of course, there was nothign else back then
I'd do the same again however, altho the new BC's do make a strong case for the BC class, BS's still outperform BC's at being the best general-purpose ship in Eve. Firzst you train tha twhich allows you to be self-suffiecient and perfomr multiple roles, then you traine that which gives you the biggest edge in your primary field of activity.
So, BS first, BC's/tech2 after that (assuming this is your first and main char).

I tried BCs for awhile, but they proved too slow and vulnerable for what I was doing at the time (solo ratting in Syndicate). So I moved on up to a Domi. Still my primary ship.

Hey Man, depends on what you do in Game really,
If you're doing missions primarily, go Cruiser -> BC -> BS. This is just the way it goes, + I assume you don't have large amount of ISK, so BC will be more affordable for you. At the same time you can continue training supporting skills and have them at appropriate levels when you get the ISK to fly a BS.
If you're going PvP, again depends, mostly on the op, but I would recommend to do your particular ship class to the max, i.e. max out all skills for cruiser, maybe go into recon ships if that interests you. In either case you will have to train a lot of skills, and by that time you would probably have more idea what you would like to fly. The best way to know really is if you can afford the ISK to try the different ships out and see which you like best, find your own favorite!
Hope this helps m8!
Personally, i went Frig -> Cruiser -> BC -> industrial -> BS -> Assault frig -> HAC -> Command Ship -> Recon Ship, while at any time flying what the job required! In any case, it's nice to have versatility in the game in case you get bored ;)

I went like this, very very quickly (just a few weeks)
Frigate>>Industrial>>Destroyer>>Cruiser>>BC>>BS
Then I found myself on a BS with 75MM guns and 1 lousy light drone. Like the guys said above, flying a ship and piloting it are 2 different things. I went back to the frigate and properly trained supporting skills for the above ships.

Same as rod...frigate..cruiser then BS....still remember when my corp bought the first cruiser BP....at that time cruisers where as rare as motherships are these days.

I am a Battlecruiser man through and through when not flying my Bomber. I dislike how clunky and terribly immobile alot of BS can be, but find that Battlecruisers have a nice blend of firepower and a decent evel of manouevering for theirsize. Not to mention that the Ferox tanks like a beast.
Just wait for the tier two BC :P they are going to be sexx0r. (Drake ftw!)
