Tactical Choices
Your choice of ship may be based on the racial weapons training that you have done in your early days. Luckily, each race offers a selection of frigates, one of which can be used for close in fighting, and one of which can be used in long distance fighting. Thus, you can be sure that a Caldari frigate will use rockets or missiles, that an Amarr ship will use energy weapons, and so on. Cruisers and larger ships can deviate from this pattern.
This chart shows typical frigate choices for the two types of tactics. These are just observations - you should always do a close analysis of a ship relative to your skills before you buy one.
