I don't see why anyone would train "race specific" All ships and weapon systems have their own trees after the tiercide.

If you want to fly an Archon because it's the most popular Carrier then that doesn't mean you have to train for the Purifier as your bomber of choice. All they have in common is the sensor compensation skill.


The turrets have all the related skills in common so training for Large Lasers and small projectiles are about the same amount of work as Large and small lasers. Drones and Missiles span all races in one form or another,

My ship Roster is
Gallente battleship
Minmatar/Gallente Logi
Amarr bomber,

And in the future:
Minmatar/Amarr Hictor


Amarr/Minmatar/Caldari T2 cruiser

Minmatar Carrier
Caldari Dread*
Amarr Super Carrier


*Assuming they have fixed it by the time It's time to train for it.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

"All their ships use only two weapon systems"

Clearly, you're referring to the glorious Caldari here.

ALL, every single Caldari ship are bonused for either hybrid turrets (railguns usually) or missiles are their primary damage application.

With gallente, this is not the case. Not only does the Nemesis use missiles as its primary damage application (Wah wah it's a stealth bomber: It's still gallente, suck it up)), but ships like the Dominix and Myrmidon are designed in a way that actually favours non-hybrid weapon systems for pve and pvp to augment their dps. Caldari ships recognize the greatness of hybrids and do not stoop to such levels as allowing equal opportunity usage for lasers and projectiles.

Until you get through their shields, then it's just a matter of squishing their papier mache hulls between your fingers.

Gallente uses 1 weapon system, hybrids. All players of all races gotta train for drones. Gallente are just better at using them.

Caldari may recognize the greatness of hybrids but their hybrid hulls are just silly. When i try to think of ships Caldari has that are worth flying over Gallente, two comes to mind. Crow and Falcon.

Got a friend into the game recently..

Got him to roll Gally as he wanted to pvp.. put him straight into FW with a Nuet Tristan, as with this he doesnt need to worry about gunenry skills nuets are quick to train for and didnt overly matter about his drones skills if he cant be shot at =D

I hear he is doing well, got his first solo kill in the first few days of playing =D

Caldari in general are the best, of course.

But it's us Achurans who're the true master race.

Other than the occasional Sebiestor we're by far the best looking sentients in New Eden.

Gallente for life.

(pay no mind to the fact that Ferox is my favorite ship....)

Not sure about that but clearly the mastery tables for Gallente ships get rather colorful because of this wider array of choices.

Very true. There are ships among the Gallente, Amarr, and Minmatar lines that are very nice looking. Caldari, on the other hand... not so much.

You have never been on the recieving end of a Naga sniping fleet have you Roll

Edit: You don't want to be on the recieving end of a Naga sniping fleet...

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

How incredibly rude of me ... Oops

Ms Turigahl, there are always exceptions to a rule. I speak of the rule of races, not of individuals.

When we look into the sky we don't just see the one starscape, I believe we see many at once - all mingled together. In each there is always that one crystaline glimmer that shines far brighter than the rest.

For me, in the Vherokior starscape, you are that glimmer. You are that exception. You are my exception.

People such as I are left surface-bound, merely able to cast our wanting-gaze on your distant glow. Forever reaching upward for something, for someone, who may always be out of our reach.

My apologies for forgetting you, Ms Turigahl. If only for a fleeting heartbeat. Oops

Should you ever desire I make up for my gross oversight of your beauty then I lay myself at your disposal to do so.
