You can only fly one race's space ships. What do you pick and why?

Let's say you log in one day and are faced with a dilemma, capsuleers are only allowed to fly one racial line of ships and as a bonus only one pirate faction that ties in with the racial line you picked (so if you pick gallente you can't pick blood raiders). All SP in other racial ships lines are refunded for you to spend as you please.

I think I'd go Amarr, I've always been fond of their hull designs and not having to reload with lasers is wonderful. I also like the versatility of the Sisters of EVE ships for exploration so would end up going down that route.

How about you?

Gallente / Serpentis.


Because Megathron/Vindicator/Vigilant and that sexy as hell Hecate.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

It's easy, Gallente. Most versatile line of ships if you have to pick only one.

Jove ships, of course!

They canonically use lasers, which I've always loved, and have extremely high mobility as well as (canonically) potent cloaking systems! Also, (to me) they have some of the most attractive hulls in EVE: organic and sleek, yet sharp and threatening at the same time.

Also, before you say it- the skills for their ships are still in-game Smile



And for pirates... Guristas!

Drones + Missiles make for a blisteringly powerful combination of application range and sheer power- especially with the Rattlesnake!

Minmatar, so I can enjoy guns, missiles, drones, shield tanking, armor tanking, hull tanking [TFI FTW], sig tanking and speed tanking. And I actually like rusty visuals.

As a pirate faction, best complement is probably Blood Raiders, to add cap warfare to the mix.

Caldari and Guristas, because I love missiles and the guristas provide superior missile and drone control, and shields.
although I must confess its limiting when a race is tied to several factions
Caldari are Mordu, Sasha, and guristas ship alone.

I was hoping this post was along the lines of if you woke up one day in eve as your capsuleer type deals, but this works.
I often think of something along the lines of Event Horizon, I swore that anime raided my brain, except instead of just the player its a small aoe that takes a whole population around the each player

Edit: I was writing this post before Penelope's comment about no Caldari support
The Intaki of Caldari Navy/ Mordu's Legion FTW
Why I didn't pick Mordu ship line? Why stop at 1 weapon system when I can 2 primary weapons!

yeah but then you have secondary systems all messed up, dodgy lights, sink backing up, lubricate lines routed to the shower, and partially opening doors.

Mordus Legion. Barring that, Caldari.

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Amarr

I got the Curse, Pilgrim, and Geddon as great neut ships. I can switch to missiles with the T2 ships. Archons are awesome, the Abaddon can work great as a brick and can do a 1400mm variation if need be.

Guardians are king in RR amount if you can run a 5/1 setup :P

And we can run indefinitely with our lasers in structure bashing and living out in "the void".

Amarr have always been my favorite based on appearance so I would go with Amarr and SOE.

I've found a new appreciation for the Gallente and Minmatar fleets too recently though.

Caldari can suck it.
