Myself, I went: Frigate, Destroyer, Cruiser, Industrial, BC, Inty, AF, Cov Ops, BS. I seem to spend most of my time in BC, but tend to pvp in T2 frigates. I am looking forward to flying around in Hurricanes and Drakes in the future though.

I got BC and then BS asap. I was flying a BS at just a couple million SP (albeit badly), but I was able to pretty much snooze through L3 missions with it while my skills caught up so I could mount bigger guns/missles, followed by a T2 tank which gave me the ability to tank L4s for the $$ mission payouts. If you're going to mission run, get a BS ASAP since the payouts are pretty awesome running L4s, especially if you do them for low sec agents.
If you're going for straight PvP though, I'd recommend sticking to smaller, faster, and more disposable ships such as cruisers or frigs. Once you're sitting on decent engineering/electronics/navigation/gunnery skills, then it's safer to move on to the big ships with the big guns. BSes are a huge investment and therefore a huge risk to be putting on the line in PvP engagements, you'd be crazy to put that much ISK on the line in a ship that you're barely qualified to fly. Losing my T2 fitted raven is potentially around 300 mil down the drain, with only a 100 mil insurance reimbursement. I won't be putting that kind of ISK on the line until I'm sitting on a lot more SPs than I am now. Until then, I have a semi-cheaply fitted Scorpion which does the job at keeping me out of harm's way if I don't want to fight, and allows me to bring some pretty awesome EWar potential to the fight if I do.

Frigate, Cruiser, Industrial, BC. Like others have said, 'I like to fly what I fly well.'

Frigate->Cruiser->BS->Inty->AF->Industrial->Cov Ops->Destroyer->HAC->BC->Interdictor->Recon->Command Ships->Logistics
Only Minmatar...

Edited by: Idara on 30/10/2006 20:18:14 I went BSs because the new T2 and T1 ship classes didn't exist. So it was...mine with a Thorax for an Armageddon, mine with the geddon for an Apoc, then go ratting with **** poor gunnery and tanking skills.
God, I was such a nub.
Overall order was frig->cruiser->indy->inty->AF->HACs->Battlecruisers->Destroyers->Covops->Command Ships->Recons ---

I think I went Frigate, Cruiser, Battleship, Assault Frig, Covert Ops, Interceptor, HAC, Dreadnought, Carrier, Recon, Battlecruiser, Command Ship.
I'd probably still do something similar if all those ships were available at the time anyway. Maybe go for Battlecruisers/Command Ships earlier or maybe not.

frigates >destroyers >indy's >cruisers >battleships skills barely to fly them >HAC's > and now gonna train up for battleships and bc's with the new ones in kali Atm i got bs lvl3 and bc lvl1 But i got almost all relevant skills to lvl5 for ALL minmatar and caldari cruisers including HAC's and recon's. I never really bothered training for bc and bs,i hated those big bricks that took like a minute to warp so i specialized in cruisers. But now have come to a point where i trained enough for them and can start looking into the new ships Ö Sig By Liu Mang |

Stright to BS (which was all you could do in the old days).
Then the (pod) walk of shame back to the cruiser again as I learnt to fly it well and got the minimun skills needed for a BS (like elec and eng lvl 5 for instance) and Torps (yes my first Raven was H, Missile equipt. ) _______________________________________________

Did this:
Frig -> Destroyer -> Cruiser -> Battlecruiser -> Battleship
Never really cared much for the destroyers and battlecruisers. Atm i'm training up to assault frigates / interceptors and after that HAC's.

Originally by: Sapphron Dei 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.
I'd reccomend either going directly for battleships or going to battlecruisers then battleships.
You should give yourself a good feel for each ship class before you really decide on what style of combat suits you.
Personally I went back to frigate flying and have been there ever since however there are plenty of people who enjoy sticking with battleships and everything else in between.
Early on finding out what you really enjoy flying is more important than being uber in somthing because another player told you to.
I have the body of a supermodel. I just can't remember where I left it.

Frigate>Cruiser>Battlecruiser>Battleship>Assault Frigates
I tend to fly battlecruisers mainly, although I am enjoying the Assault Frig style immensely. I tend to leave the battleship docked except for corps operations
Currently topping off skills for the Manticore and Buzzard I have parked, no point in flying them badly only to lose em quickly

Lets see... I went all the way through Frigate -> Cruiser -> Industrial -> Battlecruiser -> Battleship, and from there it was Assault Ship -> Interceptor -> Stealth Bomber
Mostly I've flown Battleships and frigates though. Now getting more to BCs again with the Drake looming over the horizon though The model looks too good to not use it at least for PVE.

The only ships after cruisers were battleships back when I upgraded. I went to a Domi flew them for a year or so. My ship progression was:
Ibis > Batam > Badger II > Osprey > Vexor > Thorax > Domi > Apoc

Frigate -> Destroyer -> Cruiser -> Battlecruiser.
Fitted Industrials in there somewhere, I think between dessies and cruisers but not 100% sure. Think I might go AF or Inty next before progressing onto HACs or Battleships as I still need a lot of skills to be able to fly a BS properly and some of the reqs for T2 frigs will also be useful for flying a BS.

I went to BC's but really I do love cruisers and I do love interdictors. BS are ok but mainly they are just for fleet.

At 3.5 million skillpoints I went with Battlecruiser.
I already have battleship trained, but I would have had to wait about a month to buy one. But Caldari cruisers are just so **** fugly (except for the Blackbird, but it wasnt powerful enough for the missions I was running)...I couldnt stomach looking at my Moa for another month, so I canibalized all my cruisers and bought a Ferox. Even by Caldari standards, the Moa is Fugly.
If I had a choice (unlimited funds) I would have gone with a Battleship probably. I can get a Scorpion for about 50 Million, so I will probably be switching to that in a few weeks. But I do like the Ferox; just that the Scorpion looks cooler.
