Hi
At the moment I have 2 characters, both live in 0.0. One char is a decent mining/production/hauling character while the other has good science skills (invention) and is mainlty trained for PVE (belt ratting) up to a point where I fly a full T2 fit Gallente BS with good support skills.
At some point I'll train my PVE char towards capitals, while I will train the other char for PVE (he's sitting in station most of the time anyway).
The hauling char is a blank sheet as it comes to PVE, so all options are open.
What race should I train, taking into account I got a few months to go before I need to take it out? I was thinking Amarr since it's compatible with Gallente (cap heavy, drones, armor tanking), so it will be easy to learn and to adopt the play style. Or should I go for another race? |

It depends a lot on preference really. How much are you willing to spend on the ship? Plain T1 ship with T2 mods, navy faction, T2, pirate faction, T3? Generally more expensive ships equals more people want to gank you, but it's risk/reward and up to you.
Lasers:
Advantage of crystals which only burns out if you use T2/faction (even then it takes a while).
Disadvantage of only EM/Thermal damage, so best used against rats weak to EM/Thermal. High cap usage.
Hybrids:
Advantage is super-close high damage or very long range and not so high damage
Disadvantage is ammo consumption, only Thermal/Kinetic damage. Best used against Thermal/Kinetic weak rats.
Projectiles:
Advantage is selectable damage types, though no close range kinetic primary damage ammo. No cap usage, long range has high volley, close range has high rate of fire.
Disadvantage is fights in falloff, slow rate of fire for long range, high rate of fire for close range eats ammo like nothing else.
Missiles:
Advantage is complete selection of damage types, no transversal tracking. No cap usage.
Disadvantage is flight time, wasted volleys, and can be a downside if targets move quickly. Ammo consumption.
Drones:
Advantage of no ammo (the drone IS the ammo). Can be used while jammed/out of range if they were engaging at the time it occured.
Disadvantage is if you loose the drone, you loose quite a bit of dps unless you can replace it. Flight time on drones except sentry. Gets targeted by rats and destroyed if not managed properly. |

Amarr and drone ships don't have to worry about ammo so much. |

I trained my indy alt for a RS and T2 sentries. This way he can provide support with the highs if needed and assisting the drones to this toon means you don't have to target from both accounts. Works really well. Depending on what I am doing I might put him in a gila sometimes, as it can use 5 x sentries and has a huge drone bay. I chose the RS over the domi as he already has shield skills needed for the orca. I only have the two skills needed cruiser and BS to 4 and it works OK.

I fly an abaddon and love it grate tank to bad on skill need and Amar caps rule and tec 2 ammo takes for ever to use up so inventing and producing you one ammo is easy and if you want something smaller and faster an absolution is lots of fun and on the same tree (but more skill intensive) but you use most rig and mid slots on cap but lasers have grate range and good tracking |

T3-nullified-covert op-go basically anywhere.
Proteus is decent and can carry ECM drones for gtfo.
Tengu is hard to beat for 0.0 pve imo. |
