If you would make a new character after the RMR patch, which would go choose? I have plans on starting a second character but cant decide on what race I should go for. I know you can train for other ships later on but I would rather stick with my race¦s own ships as I might want to get into RP later with it.
The cha will mainly be used for npcing and missions, maybe some pvp later on but I allready have a pvp account so pve is the main thing. I know that the raven and apoc is the pve kings now but I¦m reading alot about amarr nerfs so I cant decide. My other characer also fly ravens allready so it would be nice to try some new ships for a change.
I havent really looked into minmatar yet since I never liked them but I can change my mind. Any advice would be a great help.

well,to be honest any race thats out of balance will be balanced by ccp, so take whatever you like.
example: Gankageddon, they nerfed the mega pulses (radio crystals etc)
Raven: torps allways hitting for full dmg, they changed that aswell.
and there must be a million other changess like that.
Its true that amarr+minmatar will be less good in RMR then they are now, but if they are really going to suck badly ccp will level it out a bit.
cos if they dont = lotsa angry players

Argh, I hate to say it, but if I had to suggest a race for anyone, I'd suggest honestly going gallente. They have good haulers, fun up-close ships, some of the best at-range ships (railguns hey), and lots of turrets for mining.
You'll miss out on some of the fun of being caldari, and the angsty 'we got shafted on specialization' of some minmatar, and the slow...slowness of amarr. But its a good race, and I haven't heard its getting any kind of shaft in the near-future.

Well, you should go for the race you like best, the race that has the coolest looking ships, for me that would probably be Gallente but im not you, so....
There may become a slight caldari-hype after RMR, but eve changes all the time so just pick a race you like, as everyone gets to feel the nerfbat every now and then.

Amarr: Their tankers will be even more effective, but with the removal of t2 explosive cystals and the general increase in good tanks, this advantage is slowly fading away. However, ships like the Apoc will still be able to run a tank for longer than anyone else (cap wise).
Caldari: Missiles are getting a bit of a boost (well, everything smaller than a cruise missile is), plus missile implants, and shield tanking will be easier with the unnerfing of invulnerbility fields. Also, shield extenders are easier to fit.
Gallente: Drone ships are getting a serious boost with this patch, with all the new drone types, increased damage, and drone modules.
Minmatar: Yes, Minmatar. With the nerfing of 6-8 damage mod setup, being able to target your enemy's weak resistances will become all the more important. Minmatar have excellent ammo that can pin-point the weak resistances on almost every t1 and t2 ship.

100m sprint is my favourite race, but the 400m is the race that tests both speed and endurance.
I'll settle in between for the 200m Race.
Oh I'm sorry, did I break your concentration.?

combat, minmatar
privateer, caldari
fleet lacky, amarr
mix and match, gallente
Really doesn't matter statistically who you go for but for role playing or fitting in with the storyline then then the bog standard is above imho. Then again who likes to be bog standard. Oh and you might want to wait for the new bloodlines to come out before you pick if can.

I'm still split between getting an Amarr Unionist or a Caldari Monk. Those two seem the have the best spread of starting attributes (from what I've seen on SISI) but that could all change once RMR is released.

Caldari or Gallante.
Amarr are getting heavily nerfed with the damage mod stacking penalties.
Minmatar do the worst dps with the worst tanks
Caldari use missiles which are getting heavily boosted, and shield tanks which are getting heavily boosted
Gallante have uberdroneships which are now win buttons, and have the most structure which means DC IIs work well for them (not as good as caldari though).

Thanks for the replies so far.
I will wait for the new bloodlines of course, going for khanid I think with high base perc. I guess it will be amarr ships then, mainly beaucse it will mostly be a pve cha and no ammo plus a tank on a ship with superb cap seems best suited for the job. I was pretty sure about amarr before also, just needed some input from others.
My main who is a pvp cha use both caldari and gallente ships so I wont miss out the fun with those anyways.

Pick your favorite race and stick it out. Just like in real life, there's always going to be a point where your race is 'the best'. Besides, take enough time and you can fly anything, so it doesn't really matter. I'm a minmatar with drone interface V, working up my Gallente ship skill so I can have a win button. I still love my Tempest though.

I like Minimitar, and when I started a second account 8 months ago, this is what I went for. Why? Because with a +3 implant and advanced learing skills, I have a perception level of 29, which when training gunnery and spaceship command for a PvP pilot makes training times incredibly short.
I also have another character that is Amarr, and he is more of a jack of all trades, master of none
Only thing I can't fly is Gallente - may open a 3rd account for a laugh and train a Gallente character!

Since you can train any other race's ships with any character, then you're really looking to get the best start in life as far as attributes go.
After the new bloodlines come in, that's the Caldari Achura Monk by far.

I'd go Gallente again, because we have the sexiest ships, the sexiest chicks, and best of all we have the only Democracy

for an easier question -
would you rather have a third arm or an eye in the back of your head?
seriously though they all have advantages/disadvantages. Take your pick and take your chances
