Ok from what i've read. calidari = rockets minimtar = artil annmar = drone other race = laser?
rockets = accuracy + sweet effects. artil = high damage + range + sweet cannons + sound:D drone = auto kill? laser = high thermal damage?
I want to start a artilary char... want to be a long range artiliary boat:D
Any tips? also do the minmtar have an symetrical ships:/?, symetrical ones always look better

Yes,minmatar have several symmetrical ships, since you're new you can try the wolf(hi end minmatar T1 frigate). On the rest,what exactly do you want to do?Missions or pvp?
If missions then train caldari missile boats or gallente drone boats. For pvp everything is useful. The 'Fendahlian Collective' strikes again |

Want to start out missions till i get some monies, Then move on to pvp. But at the same time doing missions.
I will usually be playing with a mate, i will be sitting back long range and putting lead down the range... Think he uses missiles.
Any tips on the type of char? Minm? Bruiser?

Edited by: Quantar Raalsken on 17/03/2009 23:32:37 Amarr = Laser (Pulse/Beam) Minmatar = Projectile (autocannon/artillery) Gallente = Drones/Hybrids (blaster/railgun) caldari = Missles/Hybrids (mostly missiles)
format used is (short range high dmg/long range low dmg)
the most ranges ull get are with beams and cruise missiles
edit: also EVERY race has its asymmetrical ships like the phoon, probe, omen, Aeon, exeq, raven
but ull always find at least a few symmetrical in every race, including Caldari (Carcal, Rokh)^^

200km+ with medium hybrids would Deny your theory

yes but u must agree that w/o any mods or skills the laser would win ^^ edit: my point is w/o some epic range fit, on avg missiles and beams will start with long range

Troll? But yeah. Minmatar are symetrical. You're probably looking for ammar though. They also are symmetrical. The way dildos are symetrical.

i love the way they look with the new weapon effects too ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ Take away the risk and it would make flying around in space utterly pointless.
Take away the flying around part and you make EVE into a space themed spreadsheet application. |

oh snap i just checked rails do win when fitted with the highest T2 beam/rail and the longest range ammo
my preconception must have been do to the fact that my past experiences are from using my primarily lasers skills :S

From what ive read, missiles are only good for pve? Why is this? They pretty much always hit... How can that not be good for pvp?

The problem with missiles in pvp is that if far enough away the taget can warp away b4 the missiles hit.

Missiles take time to fly from the launcher to the target. In the time it takes, say, a cruise missile to fly 200km to its target, all the turret-based battleships have fired off three salvos and the target is most likely dead. If the target doesn't die, then it's probably warped out before your missiles get close.

He meant Wolf, which is the long Range AF the Minmatar have. One should be fairly soon in a T2 Frigate. Rifters are great, too. In the time you are in a wolf, maybe you even got a grasp on the game Possibly. And you should never mix the waepon types. It just makes you weak.

funny, last time i piloted it, my wolf was an assault ship. The Rifter is the tech 1 version.
All hail the Rifter! ========================================== that's no moon... oh, wait, yes it is, the space station's out the other window. |

You are new so I'll do my best to explain some basic information that will be useful.
3 Types of Guns: Laser, Hybrid, Projectile
Sub-divided into short and long range groups: Hybrid - Blaster (short) Hybrid - Railgun (long) Projectile - Autocannon (short) Projectile - Artillery (long) Laser - Pulse (short) Laser - Beam (long)
Divided again into 4 sizes:
Light (frigate + destroyers usually get bonuses for these) Medium (cruisers and battle-cruisers) Large (battleships) X-Large (dreadnoughts)
Divided again by "tier" (not "tech") *Too many to list, but usually there are 2 of 3 varieties (usually with the most damaging being harder to fit) *Example: Medium Blasters - Electron x,y, z. Ion x, y, z. Neutron x, y, z.
Each tier is again divided into meta levels: 1 = Tech 1 (basic / cheap) 2-4 = "Named" (same requirements as T1 but better / high meta = expensive) 5 = Tech 2 (same as meta 4 but at a lower cost / requires higher skill points) 6+ = Factional (drops from rare spawns of npc's)
There are also "deadspace" and "officer" items with high meta level beyond factional varieties. Not really something a new player should consider using in any case.

Caldari = Missiles (all varieties based on ship size) as well as hybrids. Most hybrid gunboats of Caldari design emphasize range over raw damage. Shield tanking often allows Caldari ships to fit more damage-bonus mods than other races thanks to free low-slots. Minmatar = Projectiles and Missiles. Often on the same ship. Most matari gunboards emphasize raw damage and their weapons require no energy to use. Artillery are known for high alpha damage. Amarr = Lasers. Short range variety are closer to a mid-range weapon system, which is the source of their immense popularity. Amarr also have a few drone boats. Gallente - Hybrids and drones. Hybrids are high damage and most gallente gunboats have a damage bonus. Gallente have several drone boats (usually with a hybrid damage bonus as well). |
