Gallente in Amarr Ships

I've played Amarr before for a long time, but ended up getting my character nicked after I hadn't used it for over a year.

I've decided to start again with Gallente race, for no other reason than I prefer the Character appearance. However, I much prefer Amarr ships, they suit my style more, and I think they look better than Gallente.

Being as I'm starting out again from scratch, would it be best to get hold of an amarr ship straight away and train my skills for that as soon as possible, or train myself through Gallente relevant skills for that combat style for the missions, or focus on amarr ships, for amarr missions or vise versa.

Train for whatever ships and weapons you prefer. You will get much more out of the game that way.

This character can fly all four factions' ships, because I like different ship types from different factions.

I like Amarr interceptors, Caldari and Minmatar assault frigates, Amarr covert ops, Caldari and Gallente stealth bombers, Gallente and Minmatar destroyers, etc.

When I finally do make an impact on this universe, it will reverberate across the entirety of it, and no one will be able to truthfully claim they don't know me. - -

Until then, I'll just sit quietly over here, minding my own business...

your race makes no difference really when it comes to skills, you can train the starting skills in a matter of hours.

If you like amarr ships, fly amarr. go for it straight away. no point in training something just for now if you want to fly amarr.

Character nicked? You sold it, you mean? If you played it a long time, much better to get the old character back if at all possible, if you didn't sell it. Re-open the old account.

Gallente ships are better for missions in gallente space. If you want to fly amarr, move to amarr space and do the missions there from the beginning. There is no reason to train gallante if you don't want.

I think nicked means stolen. Someone stole your account? For your querey, I suggest just going to Amarrian space and act as you would as an Amarrian charecter. Train Amarrian ships and what not, that is unless you plan on doing Gallente missions?

If someone hacked the account, I'd petition it.

Thanks for the advise guys, just to clarify (sorry for my British terminology) nicked does mean stolen, or hacked, or whatever. Basically I hadn't used eve online since 2011, to find out through eve support that the account had been very active earlier this year, and transferred to another account. I had a few billion isk, a battle cruiser a command ship, a pretty good mining set up. But oh well. Apparently eve admin say there is nothing that I can do to recover it.

But thanks for the input on my question. I'll head to amarr space to begin there with my new gallente character. Big smile

Iria's face describes mine at this moment.

been hearing of alot of peoples accounts getting ahcked the last 6 months, not sure if its just people being mroe voal or if there really is an increase in malicious activity, but seriosuly, only time ive ever even been at risk of compromising acount security for ANYTHING was the one time i was a moron and logged onto a friends unsecured wifi to do my taxes.

only times ive seen people lose EVE accounts is when they do soemthing they werent supposed to, usually trying to make a couple billion isk real quick, so, not being accusatory, but what was the last thing you did with that account?

Nonsense, if it was taken from you then CCP will reverse it so you're just lying.

Train and fly what YOU want, not what race your character belongs to.

Not entirely true.


If it means stolen and you can proof that the account was yours, then they will likely restore it.

If you sold your character through unofficial methods or gave someone else your account details...sorry, you are out of luck.

I am caldari but mostly fly amarr ships though I can fly all most racial ships up to battle ship level. I love the golden hulls of the amarr and rationalise my in game choices by claiming to be a convert to the amarr religion and understand that the amarr are nominally allied with the caldari. It makes sense to me, have some fun and come up with your own rationale for doing the things you do.

I have a Minmatar character that can fly nearly all sub-capital ships (with the exception of T2 battleships), who lives in Caldari space but loves to fly Gallente frigates and Amarr ships.

And a Caldari character that switches between Gallente/Amarr space and flies all race frigates.

There are only a couple of caveats to this and they are very surmountable. First off your choice of noobship: you always get the Gallente one. It also determines in which noobcorp you start and which NPC corp you go to should you leave a player corp. Also, you can remotely set your medical clone in any station belonging to your faction (I believe), or something like that. All in all it will impact your game only slightly.

You can remotely set your medical clone to

-any station your corp has an office
-Any station belonging to the university corp that you started in, which is partially determined by your faction



But yeah, the impacts are minimal

If I were you, I'd be escalating that petition to recover your account.

That's if it was actually 'nicked' and not lost due to account sharing/RMT/etc.
