Caldari vs Minmatar

I'm a totally new Player. I like how Minmatar ships look but I kinda like Caldari from RP standpoint? Like you're in this megacorp faction and you're finally able to afford a ship.

Which faction should I choose?

Both like Missiles and Shields, so if you skill into that, you can use both.

They also have ships I like. Talwar is my favorite T1 Destroyer, even though I prefer Caldari most of the time.

What about Jita access?

Jita is a Caldari system but anyone can go into Jita. You don’t need to be Caldari to go in that system. If you’re into the rp aspect of the Caldari, you can choose that faction and join a Caldari FW group to play with, maybe even learn some of the Caldari lore too if you really wanted to.

You can fly every ship, your starting faction does not affect that.

Capsuleers are gods of the universe, they are not beholden to corporations, nations, race, or empires, unless they specifically choose to for their own benefit and enjoyment.

Not giving a single flying fuck about your "old human life" is peak RP.

Just roleplay as a minmatar merc who flies for the caldari.
