I know that going 100% industry or 100% combat is the most efficient option. That's not what this thread is about. I am not looking to being the best PvPer or best miner or best manufacturer. I don't need the most efficient way. But I do need a variety of activity.
2 accounts is not an option. Don't even... don't.

So I started with a spark combat > industry, and my stats are in a 2:1 ratio. I feel like I'm learning towards industry right now. I was told there was a spark respec that works within 45 days or so, wasn't able to find any info on it anywhere, though. In any case, assuming the spark respec exists, I'd plan to get the industry > combat spark, after getting some combat skills.

So my question is, how harmful is having a 2:1 spark vs a full indie or full combat spark?

I would like to compare this with EVE. In EVE, I had pretty much all basic mining maxed (hulk, mining barge, reprocessing, as well as minmatar industrial), but no refining or manufacturing stuff. I also had access to Assault Ships, Interceptors, Cruisers, with OK skills for their use, especially the Assaults, and was moving towards HAC's. + I had quite a few skillpoints in exploration, + I had all Learning trained to V. This took me approximately a year or so, and I coordinated my stats pretty badly. Yet, I didn't really feel severely gimped and while my char was dispersed all over the place I was able to do cool stuff and, most importantly, different cool stuff.

So how bad is Perpetuum in comparison? Will picking a 2:1 indie > combat spark make me absolutely useless in PvP forever and ever or will it be manageable I just won't be great aka EVE? Will the industrial advancement be stupidly slow even if I concentrate on industrial alone with an industrial>combat spark? I figured the presence of hybrid sparks indicates they're viable to some extent, unless they're just there for tryout purposes.
