Caldari Body Count Inc. Against ALL Authorities

[1]
So, I'm coming up on maxing pretty much everything even remotely related to Caldari combat. From day one in the game I wanted nothing to do with any other race, I've stuck by Caldari since the beginning, and for anyone who knows... Caldari were even worse than they are now.
Back then Caldari ships had almost no focus - EW was a joke, the Raven was a crappy railboat, the Scorp had shield tanking bonuses, the list goes on. I've never flown another race's ship in combat. Granted, I've got Amarr primary ships at L4, but I've got over 106 million skill points, and am coming up on running out of training anything Caldari-oriented to 5.
So, my question is this - is anyone else this ridiculously focused on one race? |

Yeah. I've now got over 2.5 MILLION SP... and it's ALL Minmatar. Hard work, dedication, unflinching focus.
After the double skill bonus ended. I had my doubts, but I'v stuck with it, and it's paid off. Several weeks later, I'm still proudly 100% Minnie.

OP: That's pretty cool considering all Caldari has been through, atleast it's worth it now for you. :p

Well considering I won't be training anything other than gallente for a while can be a prediction of racial dedication. ---- My Music |

Me with Minmatar. I didn't even like having to train other race drone skills, and I absolutely refuse to fly any other shuttles, even if it means me flying around in a pod.
My only regret is that I'll never fly a machariel. |

Used to be almost pure Caldari missile boats, but shields don't work terribly well in RRBS fleets, so I trained for a Mega/Domi for that sorta thing.
Plus the flying 14 inch peen's a fun ship for cheapo gangs --------------------------------------------

I am training only amarr. The only exception is caldari drone specilization. Currently I have about 110m sp, t3 skills maxed and I started to train titan because there was nothing left.
Recently I respecced my attributes to max int and memory to train some more stupid skills I'll never use. Of course I could start training new chars on the other 2 slots on my account.
Roughly estimated I would say training for one race only and training time limited solely on combat related skills the game (of training skills) is over after 3-4 years. After 1 year you can have skills good enough to compete with veterans in 95% of all situations apart from capital ship warfare. |

I feel versatility comes from specializing in ship types, not races. One can only fly one ship at a time. Ship types grant plenty of flexibility for combat roles.
Granted there are times (particularly now, with Caldari being awful) where I look at having every t2 ship type at 5 and wonder why I bother sticking to only Caldari ships. But I find some level of satisfaction in not catering to the FOTM crowd, and not crosstraining in order to always avoid the weakest link. |

I'm equally specced in all races, and i can say that while it has it's uses, up to about 10 mill SP or so, you're better off sticking to just one race. Oh and i'm on 69 Million SP currently...

Edited by: Kyra Felann on 07/06/2009 19:42:40 I only fly Gallente ships and plan on sticking with them for the foreseeable future. I can fly ORE ships also, though.
Maybe if I max out all general and Gallente-focused skills and don't have much else to train, I may branch out eventually.
Oh, and I have about 33 million skill points total. |

I've been a Missile ***** from day 1
at first that meant Caldari (mostly Drakes) but have branched out since then to include every missile ship in game - so most Caldari, the t2 Khanid ships and the Typhoon (because Ravens and RR don't mix )

I started out totally Gallente focused but as the years went by I developed a deep love for Minmatar technology. Since then I have also trained Amarr weapons and ships upto the BS level too but only for something to do and I would NEVER be caught dead flying some stinky Caldari egg-carton (Except my Orca, I love her )

60m+ sp, was all Gallente up until the massive blaster nerfs and buffs to Amarr. Large blaster spec to 5 and all other associated skills to 5, but it's easy to migrate all of those skills to Amarr. Now I have large beam and pulse spec to 4, BlackOps5 and am flying a Redeemer with max skills. Go figure.
