Aspects of Eve Online
Characters of Eve
When you arrive in Eve, you will have a body called a clone. As a member of an elite spaceship pilots group called ” Capsuleers”, who are able to control their spaceships directly with their minds through the use of a capsule or pod. The Capsuleers are called immortals because their memories can be downloaded into spare clones in case they are killed in combat. You will advance your character through training skills found in skill books which you can buy. As you learn more skills you will be able to pilot the different ships, and use thousands of different moduals to customize the ships however you decide.
There are four distinct races you can choose from to create your character. Each race builds ships using different technology which has strengths and weaknesses. Since, all races start with a clone having minimal skills, there is little difference in what a new capsuleer can actually do in game. However, there is a rich background and distinct look for each race.
Ships of Eve
Although you begin in a clone, most of your time will be spent in space flying a ship. Each race has a line of ships starting with the frigate (smallest) and going up to the titan (largest). There are also numerous, specialty ships that are called T2 or tech 2, these are advanced versions of the basic ships. Along with these, there are a small number of T3 ships, the super advanced version and Factions ships, which are a mixture of different race and NPC faction ships.
