Edited by: Kyudai Koga on 20/05/2006 11:36:49 Hi everyone,
I'm creating a new character, Achura I think he'll be (but it could change) but I can't stand the caldari ships (except for one or two frigates and some really advanced BS) so I'll probably be flying mostly other race's ones, and I'm wondering about what is better to choose at the creation:
- Getting Caldari Frigate IV to be able to fly a kestrel or a merlin, while learning other ships skills
- Trying to maximize other skills at creation (I heard it's possible to get Gunnery V ?) and get another frigate skill and learn it up asap
- Or it doesn't matter, anyway during the course of my character's life I'll probably have to build other races ship command skills
My principal problem is that, for rp reason, I don't feel to be Gallente (although some of their ships have the best look out there imo) and I don't like the minmatar ships at all.
That let me with Caldari (ugly ships ftw) or Amarr (but I heard their ships aren't the best out there)...
So much capital questions... well not capital in fact, but the server is down so you know...
Thanks.

Only the Amarr Khanid can start with gunnery 5.

Ok thanks
so it solves the question if I want to create anything else than a Khanid... still, my question remains: is it better to be khanid for gunnery V, go the Frigate IV route or try to get other skills than frigate with whatever race I choose ?

I would sooner be sure to get good attributes rather than good starting skills. Those 300k skillpoints can be acquired in two weeks, while the schewed attributes you would get to obtain those would be significantly harder to live with in the long run.
So take your time, if you want to build a fighter, play around with character creation and find a combination that suits you well, rather than focus on instant gratification.
After all, I do expect you plan to play for more than 2 weeks...

You expect well James ^^
Thanks for the advice, I think I need to get used to the Eve concept, being used to others mmorpgs I try to minmax everything I can
While browsing the forums I found this character creator: http://www.wium.net/nw/evetool/
I think I'll play with it and see if I could come out with a satisfying template on most aspects.

Gallante Jin-Mei Jing Ko Caste can get Gunnery V at creation as well.

Achura can start with science lvl V - that is over 200k SP. For merlin/kestrel you need only c.f. lvl 3, so i wouldn't start another way.

Are there any other level V's attainable at creation? hehe

Well thanks for the replys :)
I've made some calculations, and with an Achura it's less than a day to train a frigate skill from 0 to 3, and less than a week end to train from 0 to 4, so I could as well go and get other skills while leaving frigate at one if I go for the Caldari...
Anyway, there seems to be a bunch of caldari actually, and so i'm leaning toward the Amarr for my character's race. Only thing about the Amarr is I heard their ships currently are a bit underpowered, and while I do like certain of their models (most frigates, interceptor, etc...), there is a bunch of cool models in the Gallente fleet, especially in the upper classes, and they seems to be the favored fleet right now in term of firepower (even if the incursus design come out from nowhere, and so do the interceptor... spear on the front of a starship ftw!).
I know that in the long term it doesn't matter that much as I could fly any ships I want, but it'll prolly decide if I go the Amarr Frigate IV or the Gunnery V route at creation (Amarr frigate if I decide to fly my race's ships, Gunnery V if I go for Gallente, even if laser turret isn't that useful for gallente ships and I could as well go for Achura in this case...^^)
Thanks again.
