Cycerin Strikebeam Gallente The Scope	Posted - 2006.08.05 00:59:00 - [6] Not so much now as it used to be, but still.. Caldari is the way to go. ---
ChokingVictim	Posted - 2006.08.05 01:40:00 - [7] why not minmatar?
Jalia Kovac Placid Reborn Placid Coalition	Posted - 2006.08.05 01:42:00 - [8] Originally by: ChokingVictim why not minmatar? No reason at all, especially since you're interested in PvP. ► ► Placid Reborn Headquarters ◄ ◄
ChokingVictim	Posted - 2006.08.05 02:06:00 - [9] sounds like minmatar are pretty leet in pvp
Imode Band of Builders Inc. Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.08.05 02:08:00 - [10] not for noobs ____________________________ Sig removed, lacks Eve-related content - Cortes
welsh wizard	Posted - 2006.08.05 02:46:00 - [11] Edited by: welsh wizard on 05/08/2006 02:53:58 People are suggesting Caldari because they have the best PvE ships. You want to be effective in PvP? Then the skill set is just as intensive as the other races. Most Caldari ships don't stand a chance in a 1v1 versus a comparable ship of another race without very high skills. Exceptions being the Raven (because of ECM and choice of damage) and to some extent the Crow. Caldari are without question a brilliant PvP race but only truly effective if you've got 1 or more friends along with you.
ROF''''''''''''''''''''L Amarr Viziam	Posted - 2006.08.05 03:08:00 - [12] i used kestrels when i was a noob. the incursus, rifter, and punisher are also good ships. the punisher(amarr) is a tough frigate to kill, it can survive PVP sometimes when the other races die. basically all the races are good once you have skills for them. Will draw crazy ship for ISK. click here
xeom Obsidian Sins	Posted - 2006.08.05 05:19:00 - [13] Minmatar are leet until you get to battleships.Then just go train gallante like everyone else. CCP where are our t2 shield power relays? \| Join[..SIN]
Malthros Zenobia Caldari Independent Navy Reserve Kimotoro Directive	Posted - 2006.08.05 06:38:00 - [14] Gallente. Sure Merlin can tank decently, and Kestrel is able to pop an inty if you're setup very well, but the both lack DPS.
Jenny Spitfire Caldari LoneStar Industries Veritas Immortalis	Posted - 2006.08.05 06:49:00 - [15] Originally by: Foulis Edited by: Foulis on 05/08/2006 00:30:11 Caldari would be for noobs. Even Jenny admits that =D. I actually find Gallente a bit easier than Caldari. Caldari isnt an easy race. It is easy because non-Caldari are envious about Caldari and we are always target for anti-Caldari slurs. ---------------- Cruelty is God's way of showing kindness.
Dust Angel True Core	Posted - 2006.08.05 06:50:00 - [16] Gallante noob ships the best. it has the most drone bay. _____________________________________ Stressed out with empire politics? Sansha's Nation helps clear your mind.
Reatu Krentor Minmatar Void Spiders Fate Weavers	Posted - 2006.08.05 06:55:00 - [17] Originally by: ChokingVictim sounds like minmatar are pretty leet in pvp Minmatar can be fun to fly in pvp but it takes lots of skill(not RL skill I mean skillpoints). Just as an example, take the Typhoon. It has a 50/50 split between launchers and turrets(bonuses are also split between these), a large drone bay(5 heavy drones, 5 medium) and nice amount of low slots(armor tank goes there). That means you would have to specialize not just in turrets or just in launchers but in both of these and drones(which others shouldn't forget either though). Then you got other ships, such as the Cyclone which is a shield tanker(shield tank bonus on ship). So there you have shield and armor tanking featured in 2 ships so far as well as drones, missiles and projectiles. - "I wish CONCORD would scream "No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition" when they turn up to blob you.

Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.08.05 07:19:00 - [19] Edited by: Jim McGregor on 05/08/2006 07:23:33 Minmatar is great until you hit battleship level imo...until then you have speed advantages and can often use nos and ecm to win a fight you otherwise wouldnt have won. But on the battleship level, I think gallente is the best. Minmatar tries to fight by keeping range and slowly wearing down the other ship, but that doesnt really work with battleships because of 20 km warp disruptor range and only 10 km web range. There are some ships that are good for going in close though, like Rupture which has both rof/dmg bonuses. But minnies have speed penalties for the best tech 2 ammo, which gallente doesnt have, which makes a big difference. Its so much easier to get into range than to stay out of range in this game currently, so Im going to check out gallente for battleships. As for skillpoint-wise... you will be most effecient with missiles when you start the game. So I would say caldari. --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
DrEiak Amarr IONSTAR Vox Imperium	Posted - 2006.08.05 07:22:00 - [20] Caldari got the easiest skill tree.

Choking Victim	Posted - 2006.08.05 19:41:00 - [24] I started up As Minmatar, so rawr.
HippoKing Caldari The I-Win Button	Posted - 2006.08.05 19:43:00 - [25] Caldari are best with low SP. Minmatar are very good, but require the highest SP to be effective. Gallente own the win button in RMR, with medium-high SP, they will be most effective in most roles. Amarr blow, except in recons and command ships, neither of which are very nubbish at all. Normal HippoKing service resumed; world no longer ending.
