So I want to take advantage of the power of 2 offer to try out combat with a different race('s ships). Right now I have a Gallente character, and I want to create either a Minmatar or Amarr. I want to think ahead to how I want to cross train them; though I'm not sure if I will play that long, I want to be ready for the future. So my question is this: What are my options for cross training my 2 characters?
One option is crossing the Gallente with Caldari, and the Amarr with Min, so the Gal/Cal turrets line up. Another is Am/Gal and Cal/Min, so the tanking skills line up and the missiles line up for Cal/Min. The second seems like it would be more efficient, but I'm leaning toward the first because I want to start an Amarr character first. Anything I'm missing? I'm only worried about combat and ship efficiency skills, I'm not concerned with cross training EWar or capital skills.

I'd put one in missiles and another in turrets, since it's a lot harder to change weapon class(~30 ranks of skills) than it is to change tank(~5 ranks of skills). You'll wind up doubling up on some races - the missile user might ultimately go for Amarr Cruiser 5, for example - but I think it'll still be faster.

That's a very good point. I guess Gal/Am and Cal/Min would be best. That way the Gal/Am character can train only turrets and the Cal/Min can train both. Do Caldari use both missiles and turrets (on one ship) or do they specialize in one or the other?

There are a few ships that can be set up to fit both missiles and hybrids but they are few and far between. Caldari ships are generally set up with a focus on either missiles OR hybrid turrets; but not both. Not to say that you can't have both... but the bonuses and number of hardpoints will lean you one way or the other. It's split pretty evenly down the line.

Caldari missile ships can get a nice bump to their point blank DPS by fitting Autocannons in their spare slot. Easier to fit than blasters and still use no cap.
Raven with 6 cruise and 2x 720mm arties is also a decent setup. (don't think 1200mm will fit) |
