So is there any real point beyond Aesthetics when picking race?

So is there any real point beyond Aesthetics when picking race?

I don't know, really, since I haven't been able to test it out.  I mightI'm going to biomass this guy overnight, then start a new one who's a different "class" and see if there are any differences in the starting skills.  I can do this a few times, since the other alt is training skills for another week anyway.

That one there is what you get when you select a Gallente Intaki Reborn Male.

[Grey Fox]

There shouldn't be any difference anymore.

[Berkut]

Nah, they totally took the fun and drama out of character creation, probably for the best.

You used ot start out with enarly 1 million skill points, and what you got was all based on all these choices. So if you chose wrong, you could pretty much hose yourself.

Now you only start out with 50k skill points, so what difference does it make? But you get double training rate for the first 1.6M skill points, so it evens out, but you can allocate them all yourself.

Yup...looks like the starting skills are all the same for each race.   I like being able to allocate the skillpoints the way I see fit, but I also rather liked having a guy who is actually useful for things other than tutorial missions right off the bat.  The build for my main, for example, started me out with Drones V, among various other things, which is a very nice thing for a Gallente dude to have.  The old MadBurgerMaker Minmatar character started with Gunnery V, and IIRC small projectile turret IV, which made the jump to T2 smalls quite painless.

The war between Merchants Trade Consortium and Irish Democratic Army is coming to an end. Merchants Trade Consortium has retracted the war against Irish Democratic Army. The war will be declared as being over after approximately 24 hours.

LOL, looks like COLS paid for a wardec that never fired a shot.

Did you pay them off or did they just get bored?

Nobody pays me off.
COLS paid MTC to wardec me, who subsequently retracted their wardec.  Somebody got robbed.

[03:04:41] Alanthegreat > I do not dought
[03:05:22] Cyclicus Remba > However, I believe I remain victorious over several of your members, and as many of your fighters have left the corp, I do not believe this war would be in your best interests
[03:05:52] Cyclicus Remba > So, we should come to an agreement
[03:06:05] Einar Andresson > Well, this war isnt over ressources, so its not very much in the material interest of everyone
[03:06:23] Cyclicus Remba > I don't enjoy destroying ships used for missions
[03:06:47] Einar Andresson > We found out that the war didnt really hindered our moves
[03:07:07] Einar Andresson > Actually, it motivated many of our members to to do just like you did
[03:07:17] Cyclicus Remba > Well, that is good for you.  Good practice.

[03:11:56] Cyclicus Remba > True, which is why I was going to hire REPO to kill you all for a month.

[03:23:52] Einar Andresson > You mean you are willing to make our life miserable for just 500m?
[03:25:03] Cyclicus Remba > That's a discount.  I initially wanted more, but I understand if you guys are broke.
[03:25:56] Einar Andresson > Do you even need that money?
[03:26:34] Cyclicus Remba > Let me tell you the business I'm in.  Tomorrow, I'm gonna log on, have a cup of coffee, find you, and kill you.  Then, when you're getting a new ship, I'll be getting more ammo, and I'll kill you again. That's the kind of guy I am.
[03:26:44] Cyclicus Remba > Because I'm fucking nuts. That's the business I'm in.

Poor bastards just don't know who they're dealing with.

[CountDeMoney]

Lol wait is he telling you to go after Moldy there?

Yeah, apparently they don't like him.

I can see now I'm not going to get paid, and will have to kill grief guys every week until the end of time.
