Hello people of EVE,
I have tried the game twice before, staying only for the two week trials, once 3 years ago and again 2 years ago. Now, I am back at it again, but this time actually subscribed and taking a much larger interest in the game.
I am having trouble figuring out who/what to be. This issue is compounded by the fact that my two favorites are opposing sides.
A little note, character appearance does mean a lot to me. Why? I dont know, it just does...
First off, I have a Gallante, male. Activist. He is rather decent looking, and I'd say a couple gallante ships are very nice looking.
Second, I have a Caldari, female. Dissenter. She looks rather interesting and the caldari ships, well, I like 2x or 3x as many caldari ship designs as I do Gallante. I absolutely LOVE the look of the Merlin, and the Chimera looks like a dream ship.
I've heard I can cross train, so can actually be my Gallante and learn to fly Caldari ships... but kinda not so excited about the possibility of having my identity mistaken for those that participate in the FW stuff.
I was wondering if anyone could give some advice and also some details on which of the two has more members already and if cross-training is a bad idea of not. I think Im mostly hung up on which side to really support. I like the idea behind both groups and am really torn!
Anyway, reply back with some supportive ideas perhaps and some insight. I dont really want to get too involved in the game until I know who/what to be for sure.

Yo dude.. You can jon any faction for faction warfare, as long as u have the standings to go with it (mission running) many players who involve themselves with FW are not necessarily the same race as they are fighting for... It seems like you are heavily into the role playing aspect, you may want to check out the RP threads and try find a good role playing corp to take you in.

With the NPE That CCP Introduced, it's very easy to Cross-Train as a new player now. Gallente Flying Caldari Ships shouldn't really get you mistaken for an FW Type. Personally, I fly Pure Gallente because I like the ships, and Cross Training this late would be harder for me. There are also some IC reasons, but I won't bother going into those. Also, Ishkur is awesome. Yeah, and as Ethion Mentioned, there's a good EVE RP Discussion Forum Here. IGS is a bit of a mess at the moment, and the EVE-O recruitment forum is kinda crowded, So make sure you look a few pages back. |

I am, for example, a Gallente character flying mainly Caldari and have been in Minmatar militia, so everything is possible it EVE When I started playing I decided to cross-train Caldari/Gallente because both use hybrid turrets (that's not much but it's better then cross-training Cladari/Ammar which are allied factions, by the way). Drake and Raven are great ships for PvE (with Raven's sizeable drone bay it's even more easy to cross train with Gallente) and Ishtar is a great ship for PvP and yes Ishtar can have good passive shield tank. If you look at other factions you will see that Minmatar use shield and armor tank and weapons that only their ships have bonuses for and Amarr are armor tankers with faction specific weapons too. Don't know about others, but Caldari/Gallente was so far a winning combination for me. |

Gallente character that flies mostly minmatar ships but some gallente and some caldari here. However, its generally a good idea to stick to one race for a while and build up decent skills there and then branch out to others once you can use most of what your original choice has to offer.
Hope that helps.

This is a non-issue, as when you are in FW peope don't shoot based on what ship you are flying, but instead on wether you are highlited with a red star. If you do join up you will find that people are flying ships of all 4 races regardless of what faction they are fighting for. <-------------------------------------------------> "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." -Albert Einstein |
