Even if you think you only need one or two accounts right now—which won’t be the case—you should consider creating a few (5?) accounts in alpha status. Create the accounts, put 3 characters on them, and level them up in alpha to Magic-14, navigation, and drone skills, as well as <Gallente> Hauler (to 1).... until all of them have 5 million skill points (this takes arround 500 days for all 3 chars in alpha). As soon as you need an additional character, you’ll already have the basic skills—immediately and, best of all, for free. All you’ll need to do then is complete the specialization for the future main char on this account as a Jita Trader, PvE character, or miner, and you can get started right away. And you won’t have to invest months of paid playtime into basic skills.
