ASK THE FRONTIER // SHIPS & FITTING

Which race or faction should I fly? Am I stuck with the race I picked at character creation?

You are not stuck. Your starting race only decides your first skills and starter ship; you can train into any race's ships later.

Each race has a style:

  • Amarr: lasers, armor tanks.
  • Caldari: missiles, shields.
  • Gallente: drones and close-range guns, often armor.
  • Minmatar: projectiles, fast ships, both tank types.

Pick what looks fun or what your corp flies. GFVX is based in Amarr space and many of our fits use Amarr hulls, but every race is welcome.
