Faction Warfare in 20 days (skill plan request)

As a lot of people these days, i'm looking for a 20 days skill plan ...

I have 2 characters currently, i fly bombers/recons/EAFs and do exploration.. well mostly cloaky stuff.

I've been in FW before but, my characters had good skills (both can fly everything T2 BC down with T2 guns and T2 tank) so, i wasn't worried about skills.

Now, both characters are in 2 corps (WH and 0.0) but i miss the fun i had in FW in cheap ships so, i'm looking to get on my 3rd slot a FW character and these 20 days are a good start as i don't have to stop the queue on my current main character.

What i'm looking for (even if i have to put a bit more than 20 days of training) it's a skilling plan i can easily extend to use two different weapon types and ships from two factions.

So, can somebody recommend me a skilling plan for two weapon types and ships from two factions that share the most fitting/support skills?

Thank you

I would not remcomend only giving yourself 20-50 days for a pvp toon. I tried thinking of a plan that could be done in that amount of time and I just cant work it out. A newbro can deal with low skills for a couple months because they aren't used to being able to fit a ship without implants or downgrading guns, or being able to get 95% the "all V" dps.

If you do try then you should probably look into making a slicer pilot as it only needs turret skills and not much in the way of tank skills. But it wont work without T2 lasers, CPU + PG managment V and Amarr frig IV+. without Amarr frig V, good nav skills, good cap skills, and good gunnery skills it is going to be painful to use as it wont be getting better with time like a normal character.

The issue you will have is that each race is very focused on a particular weapon system in Frigate classes. The closest crossover is Gallente and Caldari as they both use Hybrids, but they have dramatically different armour. Gallente also supplement with Drones on all but the Atron. Minmatar is almost all Projectiles, and Amarr almost all Lasers. The crossover is minimal, but perhaps the more obvious one is Atrons and Caldari. The Merlin in particular is often used by the same folks who fly Atrons, and both are good ships in almost any circumstance.

As for plans, I threw this up on another thread, basically what I would look for based on my experience flying Gallente ships. Take it as you will http://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/2pofsl/the_what_are_you_multitraining_from_your_free_20/cmywn65

not exactly for FW, but check out this EIE video, he talks about the different skills needed for the fit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je5UPKssuiE

This is a good idea to train on top of industry. To have a character to roam around and do some small scale pvp.

I am looking for a similar plan. Looking for a 20 or 50 day plan for FW fights, perhaps some high sec warring? I prefer Minmatar myself but I am a fan of missiles as well, and those two don't jive well, do they?

Breacher and Talwar are Minmatar missile boats.

I'm in between merlin/atron with hybrids and kestrel/breacher for rockets. I still didn't decide yet :P but the advantage of hybrids it's the support skills which can be used for other weapon types. I don't like the gallente because i will have to train drones too :)

Choices ... choices.

What about magnesis drakkenwolf? He's a pretty good explorer too.

Faction warfare can be done in 0 days. Just saying.

Well, I'm interested in something that can shoot back no a farming alt :)

In that case, choose either shield or armor and focus on that, then select either turrets or rockets/missiles, then focus on frigate sized combat until you're very good at that weapon system and defense system. Then you can start adding in drones, EWAR etc. But for starting out use simple ships with 1 weapon type and no drones.
