![]() ![]() You may have thought of something humorous, but it’s like naming your son: “Sunshine Moonflower” may have sounded really sweet - but imagine when he becomes Head of Engineering at a respected Technology Company: “Mr Moonflower” signing his name “Yours, Sunshine” isn’t possibly the image he would hope for. ![]() The name you choose when you create the character is the name you will keep for that character for your entire life in New Eden. You drive all of what you do and what you want out of Eve - it never holds your hand and says “your next objective on the step to Hero status is to get the Golden Sword of McGuffinism to enable you to defeat Ming the Not Happy without killing any of the villagers”. There is no limit to who you can attack or defend or your objectives except those you place upon yourself. But you can always better yourself - unless you are Amarrian where you’ve started as god’s chosen already (it’s a high perch, try not to fall off it). And you get the skill for the relevant racial hauler so you can lump stuff around if you have the urge.Īn Amarrian character starts in Amarr space, Caldari in Caldari space, the Gallente in a brothel somewhere and the Minmatar in a state of general victim-hood. ![]() But you can buy the other racial weapon and gunnery skills cheaply enough. You get basic skills in the faction specific ships, Amarr Frigate I for Amarrian characters and Small Energy Turrets I - the Amarr weapon of choice. (in which case why don’t the Minmatar get “sticky tape III” as an initial skill?) There are initial slight tweaks, a Caldari character will have level II in shields and armour, the others have Level III armour and Level I shields, but that is only a difference of a few hours to level out either way - the start just reflects the preference of the Caldari for shield fitted ships. No, Yes, Sort Of and It depends on what you want.Ī lot of good answers here - basically, if you view this as a game of internet spaceships then your initial character selection has almost no impact - and definitely no long term impact. My character’s past is no limitation for what I want to do. I killed players regardless of race… sometimes in Amarrian ships… sometimes using Gallente drones or Caldari Fleet ammunition… and often swapped down to Minmatar frigates on suicide runs against people using Gallente ships in Caldari space. I was once part of the Minmatar Militia (Faction Warfare). Likewise… choose your ships based on what you like.Įxample: I am a Gallente of Gallente ancestry. There are no arbitrary mechanical benefits or repercussions regarding race, bloodlines, or schools.Ĭhoose your race based on looks/backstory you prefer. There are many, MANY mechanics behind it. If your fellow Minmatar brother or sister smacktalked you or… gods forbid… scuffed up your brand new turret… you could attack them and it would be no different than if you attacked an Amarrian slaver scum.īut PvP in general is a whole other subject and one that can’t really be distilled into a single post. Unless you are role playing… anyone and everyone is “equal” as far as the game mechanics are concerned. Are we supposed to be leaving our chosen race alone, as if they are allies or something? That is, is there a penalty for attacking someone of your own race? ![]()
