EVE General Discussion

sorry if this topic is floating around somewhere but i can't find it at all in the search option. so i'm coming back after a few years off and i want to make an alt toon. my main is caldari and i remember them always being the best for pve but i'm bored with their ships and i'll probbaly just use him for mining now. i want my alt to be either amarr, or minmatar and i just want to know wich one is better for pve. oh and pvp because i want to do that too. when i left i knoew the amarr where the best for pvp in the long run and good for pve as well. is this still true?

Gallente.

Yeah, race no longer matters, like in the past you had many people rolling Achura characters who had the best spec's for trading. Today that no longer matters, go with what your eye pleases the most.

Generally Minmatar since kiting and speed work so well still although there is a lot said for armour gangs too.

For PVE, both races have strong ships, equally good at tanking, although Minmatar do have the advantage of choosing their damage type whereas Amarr are limited in choice.

PVP... there are too many variables unfortunately.

It's not as clear cut as black or white.

Certainly as far as your actual character goes; aside from some minimal head-start skills in one of the races you should just pick the faction that appeals to you the most. It bears no relevance to the skills you can train.

Whatever you end up choosing, cross training two races isn't such a bad idea for a mid to long term goal.

Note that your character race doesn't limit your skills to fly ships from other races in any way. So I suggest choosing the race just by your own taste (look, clothes etc.).

Winmatar

The race of your character is less important that the ships you fly or weps you use. Training up frigate and basic small wep skills of any race is both quick and cheap.

Going Amarr military route instead of Matari just because of the ammo cost is myopic at best. Autocannons beat pulse lasers any day, and arties will be way better than even tachyon's if you are planning to shoot anything with high EM or thermal resistance. Both the cost and volume of projectile ammo is a minor inconvenience, far outweighed by this advantage.

can anyone confirm that amar chicks have the biggest bewbs?

Minmatar, so we can be rust-bros.

What to fly? Whatever you frakking well want to. No limitations, no starting skills, no nothing.

The longer you dwell with this question you have, the better..
