What skills are required for a Dreadnought

eve-online

I am considering buying myself a Dreadnought, the Gallente "Moros".

Besides the obvious Battleship and Capital Ship Skill to sit in it, what do I need or is recommended in skills to make use of the ship?

A preliminary warning

My first advice would be: "If you're asking this question, do not buy it."

I know, it's harsh. But if you are wondering both what skills you need and what your primary role will be, you might be in a corp that do not need Dreadnoughts for now.

Dreadnoughts are a massive investment in skills and resources. (And time, either to skill or gather these resources)

If you want your first combat Capital, please consider a Carrier, which is generally much more useful in a corp that mostly flies subcaps.

Answering your question

There are tons of skills useful when flying capitals. Of course, being able to fit all T2 support modules (even if you fit faction or better, the skill bonus will matter) is always a good idea, and as usual, all these passive bonuses from all the generic skills will matter. Believe me you don't want to fly a Dread under-skilled.

However, there are two sets of skills you absolutely need if you don't want your BS to be a shiny brick drifting in space and waiting to be on your enemies' killmails:
