    Caldari are the best, period!



    lol



    That was semi sarcastic.



    Anyway, I do prefer Caldari. I have faired well in the past and continue to do so. Is a matter of preference. Although, I use the Mammoth to transport goods since it has 4 low slots and you can pump up capacity over 30k (could be more if I get my hands on those special cargo extenders. I know Gallente Industrials have more, but they are too fragile.



    However, for combat is definitely Caldari.

    Gallente 4tw



    Caldari = EVE for nubs

    Minmatar = EVE for the patient

    Amarr = EVE for the enslaver :)

    Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.

    I like the Megathron. Great gunboat, but also 2 launcher hardpoints and a large dronebay too.

    It's great for missions and PvP as well. I just built me a Hyperion and am still figuring out hot to configure it, but I think I prefer the Mega.

    I voted Minmatar because they are great to fly, but not the best for tanking. If you want to be able to tank 0.5 Concord go Amarr, I have a friend that accidently warped into one (he was KOS), and Concord managed to dish out about 20 - 32 dmg per hit (including the sentries of course). He was in a Command Ship so yeh go Amarr for these things

    Anyway back to why I enjoy flying Minmatar. I have all the skills to make an inty deadly and if you want speed then Minmatars the way to go =) It's especially useful that you can run a 20km scram and mwd and keep dishing out some decent damage without worrying about the cap being wasted. I normally dish out 150+ dmg with my t2 arty cannons.

    The speed tank is also great especially when cruise missles only hit you for about 4 dmg =) (Heavies less than 2) This is going at 4km/s and I've heard people doing 8km/s in these babies so yeh. Want speed? Go Minmatar!

    But don't rule out Minmatar bc yet! The speed tank may not apply to a Hurricane but it sure as hell can take out a double Nephilm spawn in 0.0. I currently do about 200dmg a hit with my 650mm's but anouther friend of mine that has some t2 arty's dishes out 500 dmg for a normal hit and has done 1000dmg wrecking

    For the most part what you fly depends on the situation. I find myself flying mostly Amarr.

    I like the Abaddon(sp) Battleship, is just the best for Amarr. But  my energy turret expertise is not that good.

    I don't have any experiance flying Amarr so I'd have to take your word for it  

    The fact that the only weapons I've used in PvE and PvP are autocannons because I've not actually explored the other routes as much. Plus there is little point as I only fly Minmatar atm and don't plan to be a multi race pilot just yet

    Yea i find the caldari's guns [railguns] to be very good at long range especially in te Rokh with its ship bonuses that make it super accurate at long and short ranges.

    Been here a long time, there were times when I didn't have money for the expensive skills so I end up just getting skills to fly other races ships. End up getting Caldari (F,C,BC,BS,I, T), Minmatar (F, I), Amarr (F, C, BC, BS), and Gallente (F)... I personally don't like Gallente that much.

    Hyperions are way underrated, i prefer the dommix , but ahh anyway. great guns good drone , + to tanking what more can you ask for.
