This is a pool to ask people :
Do you stick to one races' ships or do you mix them? Im mostly interested to see how many powergamers there are against roleplayers, but feel free to explain yourself if you want.
EDIT : Another question for those racemixers - If you could only use one races ships, who would you use?

I do mix them. I started Caldari race as I wanted the Caldari race to fit my character, not ship.
But as I progressed in the game, the Amarr ships were better suited for my style of play, thus I had to learn their skills to pilot them. I really like piloting the Apocalypse, it somehow just suits my style in Eve.
If I had to choose only one race of ships to play though, it would be Caldari. I have Caldari bloodline (Although I think my birth father was Ferengi, we have never met), since I like the Caldari ways of life.
A NOTE THOUGH: When I was growing up in my neighborhood, many of my friends were Amarr. My mother and step-father were not prejudice and I was able to have Amarrian friends. Through my friend's influence while growing up, I not only learned missile tactics in Caldari schools, but my friends taught me the Amarrian way of laser technology. It is amazing what you can learn in the garage just tinkering around. Thus, I was able to learn to pilot Amarr ships early on and was educated enough to adapt to lasers easily. It's nice to have great friends while growing up.

Most players in EVE are just non-racial, only Amarr, Gallente, Caldari or Minmatar by name. I give kudos for people though who like to role play and get into the universe like the players of PIE and Oracle, but really the vast majority of players are not into it.
Roleplaying attracts me but not far enough to stop my primary interest in the game which is to collect ships and things. I keep all ships of all races, so long as they fit my intended purpose.
One day I decided to scout for spawn sites in the Minmatar region. I prefer speed to cover distances, large cargo hold for extended hunts, and I don't like to draw attention to myself, so I choose a Stabber (my base speed on this ship without ABs is already over 250).
So who do I see on the spawn site? A Minmatar with an Armaggedon.

Um I fly Gallente, up to BS, and caldari up to lvl 3 cruiser. Right now gallente ships suck for PvP, but they have a small niche.
If I could fly only one ship type, I'd get mimnitar for sure. Versatility baby. (And speeeeed)

I can fly every ship except the mammoth, the gallente battleships, amarr battleship and minmatar battleship (though i have cruiser level 4 for all races). Coincidentally, the mamoth and those 3 races battleship are also the only ships i dont currently own

I'm sticking to one race, Caldari.
And I consider myself both powergamer and roleplayer. (though I'm currently having a break)
Reason? Very simple.
By training Amarr ships too it would be much easier to make money.
But as roleplayer I want to stick to Caldari.
And as a combat pilot I want to be "the best at one thing", not "the second best at two things".
People that have trained so that they can fly 3 or even 4 races' ships are so behind in skillpoints that in a 1vs1 against a specialist player (like myself), they stand absolutely no chance at all (uhm, well, the exception may be with a Scorpion, since they are very unbalanced, and require less than half the skillpoints some other ships require (but on the other hand, such a Scorpion would never be able to destroy my ship, only prevent me from destroying him)).

I¦m Gallente Intaki and I stick to one Race too.
I can fly Gallente, Amarr and Caldari BS. And I can fly all Cruisers of all Races.
I prefer Caldari because I¦m specialised in Missles/EW.
Best Mining Frigatte is:
Imicus (Gallente) and Probe (Minmatar)
Best Combat Frigate i would say is:
Rifter (Minmatar) and Merlin(Caldari)
Best Mining Cruiser:
Thorax (Gallente)
Best PvP Cruisers but there are many:
Caracal (Caldari), BlackBird (Caldari)
Maller (Amarr) and Rupture (Minmatar)
Best Mining BS:
Apocalypse (Amarr), Megathron (Gallente)
Best 1on1 PvP BS:
Scorpion (Caldari), Raven (Caldari)
Best Fleet BS:
Tempest (Minmatar), Megathron (Gallente) and last but not least the Apocalypse (Amarr)
Best low lvl Industrial:
Bestower (Amarr)
Best High lvl Industrial:
Iteron MKV (Gallente), Mammoth (Minmatar)
so I can say if you are a Miner or Industrial take Gallente, if you are a Fighter take Caldari. The other both Races are mixed Races.
and @ dalman, I¦m not behind in Combat Skills i think I¦m up to date in all Combat relevant skills because it allway depends on your skillpoints. It¦s right that players which only have 3 Mio or less Skillpoints and flying all Races BS are behind but if you got 4+ Mio points you can be up to date with it.

Hmm, sorry, but is there always a difference between "powergamer" and "roleplayer"?

Why should roleplayer = sticks to one race's ships.
Some people in RL buy only products from their own country. Some don't. So playing your character either way can still be valid roleplaying.
Me, I'm Gallante and flew Vexor and Thorax but originally wanted to eventually be an EW specialist so also trained up Caldari with a view to end up with a Blackbird or Scorpion. Also had anough Amarr shipskills to be able to fly a Bestower as it's the best (affordable skillwise) Indy. On the way I felt the shortage of missiles in the Thorax and so switched to a Moa for hunting - and it suits my combat style better.
Then I looked more closely at the various BS and realised that whilst a Scorp is great for PvP, for PvE and mining (and "expeditionary" work of any sort) the Amarr BS seemed to have an edge. So here I am now in an Apoc!
Me, I don't care who designed the ship, I'm the one who flies it! <g>

I roleplay a genetically engineered Jovian posing as a Gallentean who secretly support Minmatar rebels operating in the Amarr Empire.
I can fly all Gallente ships, Amarr frigates, and have trained Caldari cruiser.
If I'd have to choose one race's ships it would probably be Minmatar for versatility (good PvP and mining abilities), or stick with Gallente (also versatile).
I don't think training 2 races up to BS level when you are still below 4 mio sp puts you behind dedicated one-race players in PvP.
You will have to make choices in what skills to train. Leaving out drones or missiles can account for quite some skillpoints.
The fact that you could be flying different ships will give you a surprise effect someone that always flies the same race does not have.

I fly only Caldari ships. I have the skills for any frigate, but that's mainly for fun... Maybe I'll get their Cruiser skills one day, for the same reason.
The reasons for using only Caldari ships?
First of all, they look cool. That was enough to attract me to play Caldari since Beta, but now it has become my choice to use Caldari ships only.
Secondly, I'm a combat player and Caldari have (arguably) the best combat ships. No race has shields to match them, and they are good for both long range turretfights, missiles and EW. Fits my playstyle nicely...
Their main lack in ship design is that their ships tend to have few low power slots... but that's ok when you look at how many mediums they have
Peace through love, understanding and superior firepower.

at moment i can fly all ships except the iteronV and the megathron,
i have simply trained up all the skills that make the best use of my attributes,
18 perception and 14 willpower means anything to do with piloting, gunnery, missiles gets trained very quickly, i will have to get implants for intel etc.. before i waste time training electric and other stuff, but that is all in the pipeline

I only trained Caldari Ship Skills. I have no plans to train other races ships. About the only ships I even like from other races are the Tempest and Typhoon, but I dont see myself going that way anyway. So Im gonna do Caldari only it seems.

I fly all races ships.
Caldari - only at lvl 2 frigate cause I'm lazy and don't believe the hype of them being the best combat vessel.
Amarr - BS is training to LVL 2 today cause nothing mines like an Apoc or farms NPCs like an Apoc.
Galente - BS is at LVL 2 because my first ship was a Dominix and my second BS was a Megathron. They were fun... but I've moved on.
Minmitar - BS is at LVL 3 because the best combat ships are minmitar. Bellicose is a better ship than the MOA/BB/Caracal imo for PvP and its cheaper. Typhoon is a Predator that can match any lvl 2 BS in force... and a Typhoon w/ 1400mm Howlitzers are so damned nasty its not even right
One day I will train Caldari to BS lvl 2 cause i like the Raven and Scorp... but I have more nagging skills to train... like some pesky rank 5 skills to lvl 5. Either way... all the ships are good it just depends on your skills. It also depends on what you use it for. Many ships are similar *cough* Megathron and Apoc *cough* and many ships are ahead of their class *cough* Typhoon *cough* so it depends on you as the pilot playstyle.

I went for Caldari because I wanted my character to look the most 'human', and I also liked the idea of being a member of a war-like race. However, I quickly got fed up of having to fly the ugly-ass Caldari ships (not taking anything away in their combat-effectiveness mind) so I saved up and went Gallente.
I currently use my Thorax for mining and pirate-bopping, and my Badger Mk 2 for hauling jobs. I am quite happy with these two ships, although I quite like the look of some of the Minmatar stuff as well. I basically go for whatever takes my fancy, although I still enjoy being Caldari.

I plan to train up all races over time, why not? Each ship has a benefit. I have trained Gallente to BS Level 2 (I have a Dominix and Thorax). Caldari up to Level 2 Cruiser (Blackbird and Carcal). Minimtar is next on the list up to BS level.

I am Caldari, and fly all races ships. I have level 4 frigate, cruiser, and at least level 2 battleship on every race. I don't see a point in limiting the choice of ships I can fly =) They are all good for some purpose.
If I picked only one races ships, it would be Gallente. They are generally cheaper, look good, make decent miners, and can hold a fair amount of drones. They are perfect for people who like to mine and like to fight.

I'm a Gallente who doesn't really give too much of a f**k about patriotism, but is really attracted and awed by Amarr culture and their egocentric grandiosity...so he flies the majestic Amarr ships and has tailored his spaceflight style to suit this.
Roleplaying a character is a spectrum of possiblities, not a stock template for each race. It is after all called roleplaying, not stereotypeplaying.

I fly Amarr ships only,have never flown anything else, done so since i started playing and joined 1st Praetorian guard.
This has put me on a serious disadvantage with regards to EW but we (PIE-1st PG) have learned to cope.

I prefer Caldari ships.
Yet my culture has no place for those who don't succeed, so where my nation's ships are outclassed, I will use other ships.
Thus, I generally fly a scorpion or a blackbird (or a merlin/kestrel if the fancy strikes me), both for PvP (I specialize in electronic warfare) and npc hunting. But I have been known to leap into a bestower or a dominix for mining purposes - let's face it, Caldari ships suck for mining and hauling.
If I were forced to choose, I'd probably pick Caldari because of my race, but I'd be tempted to pick minmatar or gallente, since their ships are much more versatile.

I mix.
In my early days it was pure caldari up to the blackbird cruiser this was when cruisers where kind of rare and expensive so it took me forever to save up to buy another cruiser and by the time i did i had grown a hatred for ew ships cause my blackbird couldn't mine or hunt very well but was good for pvp because of this ive never even trained caldari cruiser past lvl2. My second cruiser was a maller and ive flown around heavy hitting ships ever since, changeing races and ship classes to whatever fit my needs best which has lead me to my tempest and now that im in a minmatar ship unless they nerf em real bad i think i will stick with minmatar ships cause while the blackbird made me dislike ew it did make me appreciate mid slots which the megathron and apoc are lacking in.
To answer your second question if i could only use 1 races ship it would be the minmatar they are fast the texturing on them is great, and they are great heavy hitting platforms with a good number of medium slots for versitility.

Well, i'm sticking to gallente. Aside from having some of the best looking ships in game, i like hybrids and am turning into a bit of a drones m00k. I picked gallente simply because i liked the background, and wanted to be Intaki - Reborn.
I've learnt some frigate skills, but still prefer my gallente frigates. Even thou i had a vigil for ages, when it went, i replaced it with an atron, still goes fast enough....
I WILL get my dominix into a position where it can be useful at PvP, the slot config on it is just beautiful... :p
The only thing Gallente i can't fly atm is Iteron 5, its 28 days, and i have corp m00ks in bestowers for hauling...

Gallente who flies mostly Gallente ships. I'm currently enamored with the Celestis, both because there appears to be a general stigma against it (which makes me want to use it out of pure stubborness) and because I happen to think it works rather well with my play style.
Trained up to Gall BS 2 for my Megathron. Also began training Caldari frigates with intent to go all the way up to BS, but halted because I'm considering the Amarr ships just to be able to camp for npc's deep space in a punisher or Maller without needing ammo or other supplies.

I am still playing my first character, which I created without knowing anything about the ships. I liked the Caldari race and wanted to be a miner.
I started with Caldari ships: Bantam, Osprey, Badger Mk I & Mk II, Moa.
Then I built up skills for the Thorax, which is the best mining cruiser.
I am now finishing skills for Apocalyse and have picked up Bestower along the way.
I believe that since these ships are on the free market, there is no reason not to use them, if they are efficient for what you wish to do. Some Germans drive Japanese cars, and vice versa  .
If I had to choose one race, as a miner I would chose Amarr, because of the Apocalypse, the best mining ship in the universe.

except of the bestower for transport i stick with the minmatar ships. i like them...they remind me of the cars i'm used to drive and i feel like home in them.
they are versatile like my char is...but they need a lot of skills to be operated properly. besides the skills needed to fly my ships (and defend them), i have some other to train. so with my 8mio skillpoints i have nothing to waste on other races BS skills
no police, no summons, no courts of law;
no proper procedure, no rules of war;
no mitigating circumstance;

The only none Gallente ship I ever used and am still using is the Amarr Bestower Indie, cause I don't want to waste 30 days training to get a Mk 5 Iteron, the only Gallente Indie that is worth using.

I fly all Caldari, Amarr and Minmatar ships. I've never seen the reason for Gallente.
Amarr and Caldari are the two ends of the scale as far as ship design goes. The Amarran ships take a low tech approach with lots of direct fire firepower, solid plates of armors and lots low slots for improving armor defense. The Caldari ships rely on range, shield and missles with lots of med slots for improving shield defense, EW and missles for offense.
The Minmatar ships seem to be more along the line of Caldari design but balancing out the med and low slots and weapons quite nicely. The Tempest is one of the heaviest hitters in the game with a 5 medium slot and 6 low slot. Makes for the ability to have very interesting loadouts.
Gallente ships seem to be a compromise more along the Amarr school of thought in ship design. Not quite as flexible as the Minmatar in my opinion so I see no need to fly them, since they aren't my race's ship. Next patch may change my view of things.

Upon closer inspection, that Caldari BS doesn't even look like it got hit with the ugly stick, it looks like it *is* the ugly stick.

I fly Amarr ships almost exclusively, although I have some skills in other races ships as well.
Inherited a Thorax from a Gallente corp-mate who quit a couple of months ago, and just yesterday finished training enough to fly it. I may very well end up taking it for a spin sometimes when mining. Got me a couple of Gallente frigates as well, mostly to check out their looks... Pretty much for the same reason I have recently trained some Caldari frigate skill. There is no way I will do the same for Minmatar, for obvious reasons!
Overall I'm pretty happy with Amarr ships, Punisher or Omen for missions, Maller or Armageddon for hunting, Bestower for transporting. And now maybe the Thorax for an occasional mining operation if I don't feel like doing it in the Armageddon...

Straight Minmatar, all the way up to bship 4, along with Caldari Frigate 3 for skill to use a kestrel  . Will probably never get any other races cruiser skills, just frigats for elite frigates

I use a Dominix and a Blackbird - my hauler if I need one is a Bestower. So no Gallente RP here when it comes to ship use. I haven't quite found a Minmatar ship I'd LOVE to use but I wouldn't mind a rupture sitting in my hanger.

I'm mainly flying Minmatar ships ( my race )
but i also got a thorax for mining and i'm currently also flying a Iteron mark V for its great hauling potential
i guess i will stick to Minmatar ships and the Iteron mark V
I think i can live without the other ships

Minmitar - BS is at LVL 3 because the best combat ships are minmitar. Bellicose is a better ship than the MOA/BB/Caracal imo for PvP and its cheaper. Typhoon is a Predator that can match any lvl 2 BS in force... and a Typhoon w/ 1400mm Howlitzers are so ****ed nasty its not even right
Soon as I read that I checked the date...

That said, I can fly any non-jumpdrive cal ship, any non-jump t1 except freighters, and t2 min indys and freighter.

I have and always will fly Amarr ships, and only Amarr ships. If ordered to train for another ship, I would, but I doubt that ever happenening.
I take pride in flying one race. Pushing the limits to one race gives me joy.
But I do see the attraction in getting a lot of SSC skills and learning to fly 'every' ship.
