EVE Online,
The most complicated MMO out there.
This should sum up the story:

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNyfI4dv1dg[/media]
There are four (playable) Races in EVE,
[b][u]AMARR[/u][/b]
[img]http://wiki.eveonline.com/w/images_icons/64x64/icon19_04.png[/img]
Amarrians are a religious faction, They enslaved the Minmatar Faction until they broke free and formed there own. Amarrians still have a massive hate to Minmatar.
Their weapons of choice are Lasers, Yes that's right lasers.
There are two types of lasers, Beam(long range) and Pulse(med range)
The Lasers consume no ammo, Instead they use lots of capacitor and a single Crystal.
[b][u]MINMATAR[/u][/b]
[img]http://wiki.eveonline.com/w/images_icons/64x64/icon19_02.png[/img]
Minmatar are a Rebel Faction Using junk heaps for ships and primitive weapons.
Their Weapons of choice are Projectiles, Artillery and Auto Cannons.
Artillery have a massive alpha damage and range.
Auto cannons have low Alpha and low range.
[b][u]GALLENTE[/u][/b]
[img]http://wiki.eveonline.com/w/images_icons/64x64/icon19_03.png[/img]
Gallente are a democratic republic that have been at war with the Caldari faction for century's.
Weapons of choice are hybrid weapons and Drones.
Drones are small, well drones that fly around and shoot things.. nuff said.
Railguns are there long range weapon, Absolutely shit in alpha it gets the job done.
Blasters is there (almost hand to hand combat) Close range weapon. It is the most devastating weapon in eve. The sheer amount of damage it puts out is incredible. It lacks range.
[b][u]CALDARI[/u][/b]
[img]http://wiki.eveonline.com/w/images_icons/64x64/icon19_01.png[/img]
Caldari are a war nation bent on destroying Gallente.
They can use hybrid turrets but they mostly prefer missiles.
There are quite a few of missiles.
Citadel Torpedoes - Dreadnought Weapon
Torpedoes - Close Range battleship/Stealthbomer Weapon
Cruise Missiles - Long range Battleship Weapon
Heavy Missiles - Med Range Cruiser Wep
Heavy Assault Missiles - Close Range Cruiser Wep
Assault Missiles - Anti Frigate Cruiser Launcher(uses standard missiles)
Standard Missiles - Med-short Range Frigate Wep
Rockets - Close Range Frig Wep
(ANY RACE CAN USE MISSILES ITS JUST CALDARI PREFER IT)
There are other factions in EVE but they are not playable, But you can get there ships(only Pirate Factions And ORE)!
[b]Amarr Faction Branches[/b]
Ammatar Mandate(Part Minmatar)
Khanid Kingdom
[b]Gallente Faction Branches[/b]
The InterBus
ORE- Ships are common Mining Vessels
[b]Minmatar Faction Branches[/b]
Thukker Tribe
[b]Calidari Faction Brances[/b]
Mordu's Legion
[b]Pirate Factions[/b]
Guristas Pirates
Sansha's Nation
The Blood Raider Covenant
Angel Cartel
The Syndicate
Serpentis
[b]Other Factions(Ships NOT obtainable)[/b]
Jove
Concord- Da space popo
The Society- Part jove
[b][u]Professions, [/u][/b]
You can do any of em but usually people specialize
[b]PvP [/b]
EVE's Golden Egg,
EVE is centered around Player vs Player action. You can be shot at at anytime but generally in Secure areas (high sec) there's a punishment.
Any ship can be used against any other ship for what ever means. Generally Frigates tackle, You can fit it out any way you want to also, Want a Microwarpdrive on you carrier? WHY NOT.
[highlight]WHEN YOU SHIP GOES BOOM ITS GONE FOREVER, Better have insured that fucker.[/highlight]
[b]Mining[/b]
OH JOY OH JOY LET BREAK OUT THE REOQUILL AND HULK FLEET
Yes mining, The main source for minerals in eve.
As boring as it is people do find it enjoyable somehow.
In order to mine you need to have a Strip miner or mining laser fitted, You need to be at a belt and you simply just lock a roid and shoot it (with mining lasers)
[b]The Market[/b]
EVE's Silver Egg
EVE's market is player controlled, every solar system with a station has one. People can haul stuff they buy somewhere cheep and sell high elsewhere or do a complete market manipulation.(I recommend taking Real life classes as this is VERY risky)
[b]Care Bearing[/b]
We all hate it, Some love it.
Missioning.
You get mission, warp to mission, Do mission, get money complete mission.
[b]Manufacturing[/b]
Not everything on the market is seeded. Players have to build most of it.
Manufacturing is the process of taking minerals mined or bought off the market in order to build something, whether it be a Damage control I or a Dreadnought.
[b][u]Corporations and Alliances[/u][/b]
[b]Corporations[/b]
Corporations are well, corporations that you can join and do stuff, Some are based Mining others on pvp. It could be anything.
[b]Alliances[/b]
A bundle of corporations generally after the same goal.
Most alliances work in hostile environments claiming sovereignty and starting wars.
[i]Sovereignty[/i]
Sovereignty Is the claiming of solar systems in order to make eve easier(somewhat)
By having sovereignty you can get,
"safe" - Mining spots for high end ores
Ratting - Going in to belts and kills the npc battleships there(bounty s)
Capital Production
Super Capital Production
Outposts - Player Controlled Space Stations, docking rights can be manipulated

I dunno, we needed an updated OP anyway

Because garry just implemented an auto-lock for all threads over a certain amount (40?).

It isn't that bad, especially when you get new people coming around and they see threads with 90+ pages...rather large.

I think it's pretty much down to personal preference. Both of those look like decent setups.
I forgot I had a pic of the Rokh I ransomed a few days ago. It's from right after he ejected.

Corpname is Dark Star Confederarion [DSCF]
-We are in an alliance named (Evil Kitty Federation) with some friends, we have a capfleet and will have acces to AAA 0.0 space.(and fleet pvp)
-We are a jack of all trades corp from pirating to carebearing and from PVP to Manifacturing.
-We have a research POS and can build t3 ships.
-We have a few members that are experienced in pvp but we also have some great Fleet Commanders in the alliance and pvp will usually be with them.
-We will provide new players with free ships, fittings and advice up to a cruiser.
After that we usually reward corp members with ships we build ourselves.
-We have a pos in a wormhole for ratting sleepers and mining gas (great money in that)
-Our goal is to get sovereignity with the alliance and become filthy rich.
We are currently recuiting evrybody because we we are very low on members (22 members of which 7 are active atm).

Not this year. They confirmed it won't be the Winter expansion. Maybe the March expansion.

Sounds sweet.
I also, what race should I choose? Amarr or Gallante?
Amarr if you want lasers and gaudy ships, Gallente if you like Jack-Of-All-Trades ships, Caldari if you want a missile boat and Minmitar if you want the best goddamn junkheaps of all time

Gallente ships look like flying dildos. Amarr.

Remember that you can always train any race's ships. I'm Caldari but I always fly Minmatar ships.
I love Gone Berserk. :D

True that
I'm caldari, cross training to Gaylente for the Moros right now.
Really, Caldari are great for solo carebearing or large fleets. Theres really no better fleet ship than the Rokh, no better mission ship than the Raven, and no better Ewar than the scorpion/Falcon.
Just don't try going solo though. 1 on 1, all other races will facerape you without flinching. Though, a remote-repping Drake gang will much through everything if you have enough missles.
