Graduation Day!

With completion of Acceleration Control V yesterday, I'm finished with the Infamous Rifter Plan made famous (errr...  infamous) by Kirith Darkblade.  The plan is designed to max out all the skills that a rifter pilot uses - to put him at the top of the heap (skillwise at least - I still have a long way to go with my personal flying abilities...).  The skills are also valuable for other Minmatar ships.

I took a few sidetrips while on the plan.  I skilled up my covert ops skills to be able to fly a Cheetah probing ship.  I also studied Assault Frigates to level V so that I can fly the Wolf (a meaner Rifter).  And I got my destroyer skill up to V.  I also put a few levels of training into the alts on this account (a trader and a hauler) to allow them to do what they need to do.  But generally, I have been working on the plan since I started this blog.

I did leave 3 skills uncompleted (listed below in red).  They are at level IV instead of V and I can't really see the need to boost them to 5 - two are fitting skills and I can fit everything I need right now and the other is a minor skill that keeps damage from bleeding through shields to armor (currently it would happen 5% of the time and for 15 days of training I can drop that 1 in 20 possibility to a 0 in 20 possibility).

So, unless there's something I missed, I'm done with rifter training and will be moving on to training for non-Minmatar frigates (and their weapon systems) and things like interceptors and cruisers plus the new ecm compensation skills.
