I suspect that it's something not activated yet. If you look at the info on some modules, especially guns, you'll note an attribute: raceid. Could be leftover code from a scrapped idea. Or could be something they might build on one day.
As far as personal choice goes however, I fly only Minmatar ships. Not gonna fly anything else either unless they completely skip a ship class for us. In frigates, nothing compares to a Rifter. Cruisers, we're a little weak but that's always been the case. Haven't gotten up to bships yet

"I suspect that it's something not activated yet. If you look at the info on some modules, especially guns, you'll note an attribute: raceid. Could be leftover code from a scrapped idea. Or could be something they might build on one day."
If you check the database, there's also plenty of attributes encoded in the 'character' ('bloodline') class; these can theoretically affect everything, from operating weapons to copying blueprints. At the moment they're all made identical for all groups, though....
"As far as personal choice goes however, I fly only Minmatar ships. Not gonna fly anything else either unless they completely skip a ship class for us. In frigates, nothing compares to a Rifter."
... silly Minmatar. :s~~
(ok, ok... Rifter does look nice =)

Rifters were 1 Ship Cruiser Killers. They're a little tamer now. But even when the Punisher had the stats of a small cruiser, the Rifter was still more dangerous in the right hands...
Minmatar Hands. While you Galls were still trying to figure out "Left Goes Left, Right Goes Right", we extremely perceptive and strong willed Minmatar were flying circles around you. And making artwork from your ships by punching holes through them

Mhmm.. am looking at the Merlin which sits in the backup hangar here, comparing the stats... not that much of the difference. The extra speed is without doubt nice, but one more medium slot can even the odds out in sooo many ways... ;s
... 'tis would be actually fun to try.(even if i don't like flying Merlin all that much...)

*has no problem whatsoever with the presented mental image* =) although i figure the Gallente might be more upset.... :s

Sorry, I had perceptively noticed your camera's disguise the lack of material in your outfit and was focused on willing the camera to pan down.

*laughs* maybe CCP should change the program so it shows the pilots' images for targetted ships in battle, not the ship icons... distraction of the opponent is a good thing.
... 'though obviously, Molly would then have no equal whatsoever. ;s

Theres no real need for races any more, apart from cosmetic preference.
