Help me identify this ship

I've been thinking about giving EVE another shot eventhough I have my doubts because of the talk of cheating and whatnot.
I haven't played since they did the graphics overhaul so I'm sure much has changed.
As much as I'd like to jump back onto my old charcater, I wouldn't have a clue what does what and I'd end up being broke real fast. Last time I logged off I was in 0.0 space.
So anyway, I'm gonna start from scratch and if I feel like going back to my old character when I feel more comfortable I might.
I'm setting myself a goal to shoot for... and it's this ship:

Any help as to what race, what type, how it performs, and a rough estimate of how long it would take me to train up to being able to use it.
Also, if there are any active Corps that are active in PvE and PvP and wouldn't mind helping me out and showing the ropes I'd be more than greatful.

Its amarr Will take you about 14 months to train for
Its a TITAN.
Geez. Last time I played I stopped after about 3 months or so. I don't think this game would hold my attention for that long. I could be wrong.

You could take breaks here and there and continuing your training while you are away.Its also really a ship that requires a well organised corp to finance, build & support
Well, it's 40 billion
As well as requiring the full attention of the whole industrial arm of a major alliance for a month to get supplies for it.
And of course don't forget the 500 man fleet you need ready at all times to defend it from other alliances, because word WILL get out that it is being built
I get the picture. I need a smaller shorter term goal.
I'm downloading the client now.
I can't remeber which username or password I used so I guess I really don't have a choice but to start from scratch.
Is it worth coming back?
What's different now?
Are the graphics that much better?

Titans are an alliance or corporation asset, not a ship that anyone would want to stick their main character in. Once you are in it you are essentially in it for good, you can't dock and when you are online you have to either sit in a POS or once in a while you would set up jumpbridges for fleets, occasionally fire a remote doomsday to a cyno, and pretty much never fire a doomsday on grid.
Err trial accounts are free?
Also while true the graphics ahvant changed much we are getting a new graphics engine late this year [think like X3 quality].
Aslo if you didnt like the gameplay fromlast time well it hasant changed much.

I was under the impression that they had all ready overhauled the graphics. I saw some screen shots and a video from Revelations and I thought that it had all ready happened.
Wow, they've been talking about a graphics overhaul like it's just around the corner for well over a year now. It's been about that long since I've last played. Someone also said that interface has been streamlined. Is it different?
First of all it depends on which Revilations video you have seen. The old graphics engine has been revamped but it is based on DirectX7 grphics so only so much can be done there. Later this year tho when its done we are getting 2 graphics engines one for DirectX9 and one For DirectX10 for the Vista owners. The interface si much better than it was i really love the overview features now. ill see if i can get screens from the graphics overhaul. BTW the titan pic you linked to is From the upgraded DirectX7 graphics engine.
EDIT:- Sadly i couldnt find the videos showing the Direct X 9 stuff But for a guide on relative quality look up a game called X3 Reunion its of a similar quality [slightly better].

Wow... so the graphics have improved since I played. Awesome.
I was thinking that the screenshots I'd seen of that caliber were from a test server or something.
I don't even know what X3 is... so no. lol

That is a link to the games website should give you an idea of what the new eve graphics will be like.
[in a mister Burns voice] Exelent!!!
They have actually boosted starting characters. New characters used to start with around 150k sp (or less), now they start with 800k+ sp. It makes it only a little mind numbing to start as opposed to brain killing.
