Well? What are you?
I'm talking about ship skills of course. Do you stick to 1 or 2 races and forget the rest or do you invest in everyone?
I'm a new pilot but I can already see that ship piloting skills build on eachother. To fly cruisers you must have frigates at a certain lvl, to fly BS you must.....
Now I currently have the Gellente frigate and Caldari frigate skills. As I'm preparing to get my first cruiser I'm wondering whether I should go ahaead and buy/train the other races frigate ship skills. I would h8 to come to the top of the ship ladder and realize my dream BS is in another race, requiring weeks upon weeks of training to fly.
Any advice?
Don't mind me I'm just making suasages! |

I started out and power gamed so trained for the ship which best did the job i wanted. So i trained minmatar frigates for the probe. Then gallente cruisers for the thorax and then amarr BS for the Apoc. As you can guess i was a miner to start with.
However now i stick solely to my race ships. It has obvious disadvantages but imo its far more fun to play with your races ships and conquer the obstacles. I love RPing in EVE now i do. Having funny conversations with non RPing amarrians etc is fun and contiunues to the ships. Refusing to piloy certain ships due to them being an insult is always a good laugh.
Of course having Amarr and Gallante BS skills to lvl4 are a waste of skills now, but oh well, im enjoying my tempest. Minmatar BS 5 training soon 
So anyway, you have to decide really if you want to be the best in the game, or have fun in the game. From my own experiance RPing on the ship issue is a lot of fun. Also the time you spent training other races ships you could have spent on your own race. I would be almost halfway to minmatar BS5 if i hadnt have trained the other races.
So in my oppinion its better sticking with your race.
So yes im a ship racist, bloody amarrian scum

Minmatar forever! I stick solely to Min ships of course.
Whilst sticking to one races ships does have its disadvantages it does let you put the saved skill points into using the ships more effectively.
I know there are people out there who can fly every ship of every race, and probably have battleship to level 4 for every race, but if you think about it thats 3 x lvl 4 frigate, 3 x lvl 4 cruiser, 3 x lvl battleship (plus probably same again for indies) that, in a particular battle, are going to waste. Thats a helluva lot of skill points that could go to improving gunnery/navigation etc. IN sticking to one race effectively you are trading flexibility of ship usage for better use of a particular races ships.

Been a miner since start, was thinking off going for apoc but when I saw the ammount off time it would take to get 2 more miner lasers I decided NOT to go for it.
I'm all for the "stick with your race and RP a bit" thing. U have been born as a minmatar, do have some honour and die as a minmatar :)
Second reason was that I wanted to keep up with my corp mates since most off them have been playing 5-6 months when I reached my first cruiser :)
I've put all those "would-be" ship points into usefull navigation/engineering/electronics points

PIE is, I believe, the only Corporation in the game which maintains a strict 'no-fly' rule when it comes to crappy foreign ships 
All our members are restricted to just Amarrian ships so only need to train Amarrian ship skills... thankfully they are good all rounders.
What this means is that we have more time to train other skills up which allows us to do our holy duty combating Minmatar terrorists and other threats to the Amarr Empire all the more effectively...

I think minimar and ammar players are racists and caldari and gallente pilots are open minded.
Hehe.
Just a little observation but the Caldari I know switch ships all the time. We're a very versitile people. Minimar and Ammar on the other hand, seem to be stuck to their own ships.

*cough* so are we mate. Though not large or not even close to being well known as you, we limit ourselves to minmatar ships. Its a policy we stick to because we want to and also its more of a challenge.
We have no intention of allowing any other ships, even though Blackbirds and scorps would be very usefull. Whats the fun in having the different races if you use all the ships.

The Amarrian tyranny will be brought to its knees through action rather than words. Do not trust the Amarrian to keep his word. Fight the Amarrian where he stands. Stand against them, never surrender, fight untill the last, fight untill you hold the emperors heart in your hands.

And of course as a true Min, you'd only use projectiles out of the turrets which save you the skills points for small/medium/large hybrids & energy weapons + controlled bursts.
All in with the skills saved from above and ships, thats a lot of skill points saved.

Amarrian here, my ship skills will look as folowed:
Minmatar Frigate V
Minmatar Cruiser IV
Minmatar Battleship V
Interceptor V
(Bomber skill?)
(Black Ops skill?)
Lets face it - why build your own ships when you have slaves to do it for you?
If that means i'm flying inferior heaps of scrapmetal, so be it!I'm a lazy Amarrian and proud of it!!

Hehe, I haven't met a Minmatar or Ammarian yet who wasn't some sort of roleplaying nutty.
I think they know that in the end Caldari kick everyone's butt, so they just pick at eachother with RP.

Much respect for the folks who stick to "racial" ships, that's very admirable.
However, I must admit I ain't one of them. I trained up to Thorax because it's such a good miner, but the only races I have ship skills for are Minmatar and Gallente. I figure it's justifiable RP because of the close ties there ... I used to think I'd never fight in a Gallente ship, but some of the lesser used ships really intrigue me.

Racist, Minmatar ships only, although I do occasionally use other weapon types than projectile.
we at the PFM have a reasonably strict stance on our members using other race ships, we only allow Gallente ships in a non-combatant role usually, and this does cause a few problems, even down to people leaving as they wanted to try out other ships.
the only thing I can suggest is pick a path and follow it, if you realise you screwed up, then either fix the problem, or restart a new character. If you pick the right path in the first place, you might not ever pilot a BS, but you might be even happier in something smaller, I've actually stopped using my BS, and loaned it out, and I'm having more fun now than ever

I am Caldari and from my point of view a ship is like an offer, you always take the best. It is an investment of time an money for sure but I am sure the payout will be worth it. But there are spaceships I wont fly for some reasons, for example all of the amarrians, cause I cannot trust a ship that is assembled by slaves who hold grudges for their masters. Would you build a proper spaceship for someone who enslaves you? I wouldn't for sure and we don't even know if the amarrians aren't too lazy to design the ships by themselves anyway.
The Minmatar will do their best to build long lasting and capable ships to defend their freedom. The Gallente will build good ships cause they want to enjoy the life after the fight. The Caldari will build awesome ships anyway, cause they would have to pay alot of money if they don't and people go to court. The Amarrians are to lazy to build ships themselves and have slaves do the work.
I think there is a good point to never trust an Amarrian, casue you will never know if you will be in slavery after you dealt with one. Who knows if there is a secret return pattern implemented into the ships that will set a course to Amarr space when you are asleep. You will wake up perfectly fine chipped up and you will be another happy slave.

I tend to fly mainly Caldari ships, with a few exeptions. The lack of a decent Caldari mining ships has lead me to train for the Maller, which has more turrets than any Caldari ship. I use it only for mining though. I can also fly Minmatar Cruisers, which I trained because I kinda like the Rupture.
I'm not roleplaying (although my character feels the same way ) when I say I will never fly the butt-ugly Thorax. That's a promise. I also have no need to train other races' Industrial ship skills, so I won't. I might train Gallante ships up to Battleship-level one day, since I kinda like the Megathron and there is no decent Caldari gunship out there. I'm a turret fan of sorts, at least untill they fix the damn missiles. :rolleyes:
All-in-all, I'm more racist than "most" Caldari and Gallanteans, but more open minded than "most" Amarr and Minmatar.
Peace through love, understanding and superior firepower.

I only fly Minmatar ships as an RP thing. But I have no qualms about using the best weapons for the job. Of course, considering that Minmatar ships all come stock with Projectile Turret bonuses (except for a couple of frigates) I mostly stick to projectile cannons. But I can use all the different types of weapons, it is more fun to be versatile...

As a Caldari, I strive to maximize utility. It would be irrational to abstain from utilizing better products offered by foreign competitors. Protected industries are a sacrilege, and no self-respecting Caldari could ever internally foster such idle notions. 'Caldarian Racism' is inherently un-Caldarian.
I do, however, refrain from the usage of Amarrian ships. Partly due to their horrid appearance, and partly due to the slave labor utilized in their production. I can't stand the thought of operating something which is so antithetical to the nature of free-market capitalism.

One of my goals is to be able to fly every ship. Therefore I have awhile to go. I guess that would make me an open minded pilot according to the standard set here.
Amarr Frigates 3
Amarr Industrial 1
Minmatar Frigates 3
Gallente Frigates 3
Caldari Frigates 4
Caldari Industrial 1
Caldari Cruisers 3
Spaceship Command 4

Exception in the future we'll see caldari, yes for everyone that thinks I killed them when I was in FA I still can't fly even the basic Caldari Frigates!
My alt is stricktly Gallente and only will use hybrids on them.
Now the question is who am I?

Well being caldari and pragmatic by nature im not an EXTREME racist, I fly whatever ship is best for the task...
the galente still owe us a planet , so im mostly boykotting their designs, allthough out of logical thinking, i still sometimes fly an iteron MkV. Its ugly, it got a gallente stench on it, still i can load a small mountain in its hold.
if you ever see me flying my Iteron V, dont wonder why my voice is muffled.. that stench only allows operation of the ship while wearing a gas mask...
the minmatar on the other hand are not very fond of me.. might be some of the slave deals i did, but what should i have done? i had to feed them while they were and still are in my cargo holds, so i cannot simply let them go . i however see to it that their masters are handeling them well, elsewise i might raise the price.
minmatar ships are however easily built. simply use a power core with a big electromagnet, and activate it in a debris field. after some time, veld some engines and weapons to the pile of junk, and there you go, another tempest ready to set sail...
the amarrians are quite decent folks. even if i do not share their religious ideas, you can get along with them pretty fine. they stick to their word (an important trait when doing buisness) and even are social thinking... how else could it be explained they still wish to enlighten the minmatar even though these are shooting at them?
aside from that, the amarrians are the only other decent ship builders beside the caldari, so combat ship wise, i will go exclusively with these two.

My character is Minmatar, so I've learnt the Minmatar cruiser and indy skills.
I'm also learning frigate skills for all the other races, mainly to help out the newbies in my corp. It only takes a few hours to get frigate 3 from scratch, so not as if it has cost me much time to do that. I may or may not take these further, depending on how my character develops in the future.

I'm sticking with my race's ships (Minmatar)... But I'm half Gallente so I do have some skills there to.
I think doing all 4 races ships might be going a bit far and reducing your training time for other stuff a bit to much, but having atleast 2 races to chose from when shopping for new ships is probobly a good idea.
My skills currently:
Spaceship Command: 5
Minmatar Frigate: 5
Minmatar Cruiser: 4
Minmatar Industrial: 4
Gallente Frigate: 4
Gallente Cruiser: 2
Gallente Industrial: 3

I totale agree anfred!
I fly caldari and training Amarian, mainly to use the apoc for mining to aid my bissnes..
On the Galante part, imagine the agony for an gallantean being destroyed by an say megathron drived by an caldarian!! That will show them whos the boss!
All caldarians out there driving the Galantean ships! you have my respect for standing the smell to gshow the galanteans whos the boss... Dont forget to crush em with you main ships thou as they will think we drive their ships becouse our are inferior...

You only have battleship at level 2 though, I hope you don't use battleships.
No point in being crap at everything.
I have 2 races to battleship and I don't regret that one second. 3rd race is minmatar but I only have frigate 3 there.

True... but with 12mil sp and only 2.5mil in ships skills, I'm good elsewhere...
I think the corp name says it all really

i started playing a few weeks ago, and jumpes from my ibis, to a bantom, to an imicus, to a thorax, and am currently 1 week of training from useing a typhoon...
the bantom i got cause i needed a better ship fast
the imicus i got for mining
the thorax i got cause my friend and i were wondering what escrow was, i bought the BPC and built it 
the typhoon i love the look of, its taken me 3 weeks so far to collect the ores for it, and im loving ever minute of it, cant wait till ive finished training to use it...
after im done with my typhoon, ill sit back, save some cash for once, train some skills.
ill probably eventually get an apoc, but thats another 2-3 weeks of training  but im a miner/builder by heart...

My basic perception is 5.
I loath the look of Minmatar ships.
Caldari ships looks like boxes with engines inside.
Let's guess what I fly...
I am a racist, and fly only ships produced by Gallente and their most loathed enemies, the Caldari (although it hurts inside)

I stick to minmatar, but only because I can't be bothered to train skills in other races. Essentially, with a few minor differences, all the races ships do the same things:
1. get you from a to b
2. Carry stuff from a to b
3. Let you kill things when you get to b.
I'd rather learn one racial set of skills, and then learn to fly those ships really well.
The alternative of spending my valuable training time working on other races ships, for really very marginal tactical benefits, does not seem very sensible to me.

I`m a very open minded i have minmatar bs at lvl5 becouse they are awesome kicking ass machines, and i mine in amarr bs as this is only thing it could do properly;)
I as minmatar dont go so low to mine in our bss it is shame to put such awesome ship into such inferior task as "attacking" asteroids;)

I'm currently trying to pilot all ships (except tech 2) due to being a manufacturor. If you can't shift your products, then you're stuck with them.
Besides that, you never know when you may come across and abandoned ship whilst exploring :)
