It would behoove you to resist. The ISD mods and CCP devs have cracked down on race-baiting (or religion bashing or politics or gender bashing or etc..)

Protip: "Jewish" is not a racial slur in any way, shape, or form.

I've played a fair amount of MMOs, and I find it a bit odd that E.v.e. Online's Space-Races all have identical starting attributes and skills (besides the very minor frigate skills). I think it'd be interesting if, say, Amarr had superior Intelligence but low Charisma; Achura had superior Memory but poor Perception; and Brutor players had high baseline Willpower and Perception but low Intelligence, etc. It would certainly make Space-Character creation a bit more involved than a game of "which face do I like better". Any thoughts on this?


Because forcing new players to make important, lasting decisions before they
a) know they're making them and
b) know the effect of those decisions
Is a good game mechanic.

Thought this thread was actually about racing due to the title - Possibility of Race-Based starting stats?
