Line 12:

* If you're expecting to subscribe to EVE Online (i.e. pay real-world money to play, also called [[Clone States|"Omega"]]), the choosing your race is purely an aesthetic choice, as every character can potentially learn every skill. That means that even as Amarr you can fly Minmatar ships when you get the appropriate skills. Your choice of race therefore mainly determines the look of your character and (if you choose to do so) your role-playing opportunities.

* If you're thinking of just playing EVE through the indefinite trial without paying (also called [[Clone States|"Alpha"]]), you will be limited to using your chosen race's ships and weapon types. While this may seem limiting, keep in mind that you can always create a new character (of a different race) to try out other ship and weapon types, or subscribing to the game to access them all.

* If you're thinking of just playing EVE through the indefinite trial without paying (also called [[Clone States|"Alpha"]]), you will be limited to using your [[Clone_States#Choice_of_race|chosen race's ships and weapon types]]. While this may seem limiting, keep in mind that you can always create a new character (of a different race) to try out other ship and weapon types, or subscribing to the game to access them all on one character.
