Tech 3 is only cruiser sized ships right now, and the requirements for them aren't that crazy, I'll be in a T3 sooner than a HAC. As for missions being boring, you should definitely join an alliance and try out some 0.0 stuff.
Where you'll be podded at the first gate and your nice expensive ship will be salvaged by the likes of me. Enjoy your flight home.
I have all tech 2 secondary ship skills to level 5, I have all minmatar tech2 proj skills to 5, all the secondary gunnery to 5, ditto missiles, shields, armor, learning, euhm lotsa stuff These "all skills" are upto the Red Sun Rising patch? I think it was called that? Anyway that's the last point I patched, so I can fly tech 2 upto cruisers of any type for Minmatar and Gallente of this point, and just about any tech 1 capital with the book for the sub type, although I only have freighter. That was around the time I ended sub and set cap ships 5 training into the great unknown. Upon reactivation she should be around 62 mill sp, if I ever decide to. If they do a old timer return offer I may re-sub for a month and give it a go.
When I joined up again a while back (not the most recent time I re-joined but the time before that) they gave me 15 days or so free trial on my account then I could put a time code in after that to carry on.
