Industrial going combat; Which race?

Just reactivated after another long break.

Solanious was pretty much designed to be an Industry character from the get go, but now that I've achieved the three main goals with it (Hulk, Freighter, Orca) to a basic extent, I'm feeling it's time to branch out to something more combat orientated.

Sol's core skills are pretty terrible in general. That's an obvious one to work on, as I'm doing now.

I think the question I'm asking is what race (weapons) I should be focusing on to start with. I currently have a pure Caldari (Shield/Missile) character, so I'm thinking of heading towards Amarr or Galente. Minni could also work, but I was thinking that would be a decent progression path for my Caldari toon later on, as I heard that Minni can be quite skill intensive.

Just looking for some variety. Mostly PvE, but having a PvP character would also open up some options for later.

Any opinions?

Gal and Minnie tend to cross train well. Assuming you dismiss training for Caldari since you already have a toon, I'd say go for Gallente. They make for great mission running ships because of their drone bays. The introduction of the Talos has helped make Gallente more relevant again in PVP. Not that Thoraxes, Myrms, and Neut/Logi Domis weren't helpful in a fleet.

People will chime in with Minnie and Amarr too so it really just comes down to your preference and judgment. Good luck

Heard this many times. :)

But, I think I'll move towards Gallente just for the interesting specialty in drones. Though, I'm still a little undecided on Amarr. Their ships are really quite good looking (lol) and lasers do seem quite interesting.

Appreciate the opinions!
