Character Creation FAQs

Q: If I create a Gallente character, and later want to fly Caldari ships, do I have to create a new character?

A: No! One of the biggest differences in EVE from other MMORPGs is that your character doesn't have any sort of "class." Unlike, for example, Guild Wars, where a bow is most effectively used by a Ranger, any character, regardless of race or history, can effectively do anything. Instead, skills define how well you can use a piece of equipment.

As such, there is no game mechanic that prevents a Gallente pilot from training the skills to fly Caldari ships. A Gallente pilot with Caldari Frigate V is as effective at frigate piloting as a Caldari pilot with Caldari Frigate V.
