Divided Objective

I want an assault ship. Admittedly, larger ships with massive amounts of firepower and tanking capabilities are somewhat appealing, but they're also slow. So, assault ships. The basic skills for these will take about a month, and the supplementary ones will take much longer.

And of course, I need a solid financial base to pay for and outfit the ship. Given the recent wardec, I've had a bit more of an interest in scanning as a way to make ISK. The difficulty with this comes in both with finding ideal scanning areas, and with training up the skills, which cuts into my assault ship training time. And given that the more powerful assault ship would lead to running higher level missions and making more ISK, it's a bit of a trade-off.

But first, learning skills need to be trained.

Currently, I have four ships: A Catalyst fitted out for PvE damage, even toying with Tech II railguns on it. Another Catalyst fitted for salvaging, an Imicus for scanning, and a Tristan for PvP tackling that I still need to fit.

I could fly a battlecruiser, though I lack some support skills. Still don't wish to do so.
