Which player after a year can't use T2 smalls 
After a year, you're going to have about 7mil in gunnery
After 1 year you should be flying HACS, with T2 MEDIUMS. Hell I got there in 8 months of actual training time...

I chose Caldari because I liked the backplot - the militaristic, technologically advanced 'cyberpunky' style, appealed to me more than the alternatives. -- Crane needs more grid 249km locking? |

I went with Caldari Deteis because of the professional militaristic demeanor to them.
I REALLY wanted to go Archura for the ZOMG stats, but I knew I couldn't live with the portrait. I'd only stare at it and become angry.

.... I went with Caldari Deteis Special Forces as well.
At the time I had this bizarre idea that I would be a scientist, explorer, inventor, only use small fast ships, be a good citizen, and (for once) stand as a symbol of justice in a MMO.
At least I got the last two right...

Edited by: Ana Vyr on 02/10/2008 21:00:32 Edited by: Ana Vyr on 02/10/2008 20:57:16 I knew nothing when I created my character, but chose Caldari Deteis simply because it appealed to me the most (scientist/prospector type). Being an english speaking Canadian ruled out Gallente altogether...and religious freaks really didn't appeal at all...so Amaar was out too. I considered Minmatar for a bit, but their brutish looks were unappealing.

Originally by: Seriphyn Inhonores I spent a while in FW and I saw that the amount of Caldari militia is way higher than the Gallente...why is that?
Eve inherits lots of players from other mmo's that are primarily pve in content. A quick browse of the forums or convo during a trial lets moast new players into the fact that Caldari have the best pve boat and tbh the easiest pve missions as the Raven does whatever damage type you need it to do. Hence when fw started and the hardcoded .5 standing was needed to join the vast majority already had crazy good standings to Caldari and would have to grind grind grind to join any other faction save the universaly shunned Amarr. Queue the n00b Caldari FW Hordes.

I did the trial twice. So I learned a bit of the game and on my 2nd trial went with the skill set that went best with what I wanted to do. Looks of the avatar and any random info that in the end would be meaningless had nothing to do with it.
I have a friend thats one of those that reroll everything,mmo and paper and dice games to get the best possible. I understand the idea behind it but its just not something I'm into. I'm sure theres some that went for max everything while others went with what they wanted and didn't care if they had some drawbacks in one area or another.

Originally by: Irulan S'Dijana 1) Cos "Militaristic Capitalist" appeals to the spaceship-flying demographic more then "space-French", "religious nut jobs" and "former slaves".
2) Sounds pro. At least, I picked business -> executive commander previously because it sounded good. Heck, your starting skills don't matter anyway, so you might as well choose something that looks good.
You forgot to add 3) The color Blue is still all the rage (Caldari racial picture etc.)
4) Achura bloodline is borderline broken and has by far the best attributes for both science and combat
5) Caldari bloodlines feature a sleek militaristic look
6) Missiles are no-brainers

If you subtract mining, industry and science skills I'm < 1 year old. 6M+ in gunnery, decent tanking ability. Specializing like an insect is key.
Just uploaded my Achura ****, check it out!

Started as an R&D, covops and future cyno alt. And then went off in weird directions... Sad thing is, even though I'm optimized for the original task most of the SP was done in waaay non-optimal areas. So much for minmaxing...

Edited by: Digital Solaris on 03/10/2008 06:40:47 Being one that picked Special Forces over Soldier, and a returning EVE player, I picked it because I liked the set of skills you start with, the (obvious) advantages that missiles have over turrets. And I have never been a huge fan of the Gunnery tree because of its rather painful flaws.
Also, the amount of time you invest in the two trees are literally day and night as your toon progress deeper in the two skill trees.
edit: I added my character sheet here. Enjoy!

I chose the Gallente because of the hot girl in the picture.
Despite all the min-maxers out there, I still think that I made the right choice.
Ohh, and when I started, the Archura bloodline didn't exist. -- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? |

Ditto. I've never min-maxed in my life; I'd rather pick that which appeals and I can work with, and accept I may have to work a bit harder in particular aspects of the game.

A player who doesn't give a damn about combat? I'm rather glad there are people out there with 7M SP in industry and science, because they produce lots of those T2 smalls for me to shoot with. ___ My views may not represent those of my corporation, which is why I never get invited to those diplomatic parties...

Edited by: Killer Gandry on 03/10/2008 10:27:25 When I started there were no Achura or any of the other sub-races. You had Civire and Deities for Caldari.
I read the backgrounds of all races and decided that the race that appealed most to me was the Caldari. Since I am not a leader type the whole Deity line wasn't for me and made a Civire.
Min-maxing wasn't something I went for. I just took whatever fitted most with the character as I wanted him to be. I can't be assed to look to squeeze every point out of a character to train up as fast as possible but to end up with a character looking like a crossbread between a lepper asian and a cloning accident in Jove space.
People are way too obsessed with skillpoints. In the end it's not the skillpoints that win the day but your actions, right choices in gear and your opponents mistakes. It's not about the fun of the game for a lot anymore, it's about maximising the skillpoint gain and link their total skillpoints as much as possible.
So you peeps just go off, maximise your characters to the fullest and I will see your maximised characters either on the sell forums soon or wasting away on an inactive account.

pretty male face, clean shaven, badass implants, white skin
steel metal color of ships, ruthless capitalists, technologically advanced, How these words can not catch you?
intaki males look artistic, musicians, scientists, gallente look like very young people, ballet dancers, fashion models, they have most exotic helmets and suits and original haircuts
minimatar are blessed with brutal nature, muscular body, ruthless look, they are the only race to wear the sun glasses, but they have much darker skin tone, which very remotely resembles latin and indian mix
sebiestor resemble space non conformist movement, optimists by nature, they often share the punk mentality, gross decoration traits and tallest forehead of all races
amarr are pale, horrid and have a piercing stare, they can conceal their true emotions, burry them deep beyond religious attitude, envision the world from under the protection of the hood.
achura, jin mey and khanid are beyond humans, achura is too fragile for a man, jinmei is very oriental and khanid are odd, vehekior wear a gas mask, as if they escaped a nuclear holocaust
i am not in the mood to write something positive about the 3rd bloodline
