I've just been on the test server to have a look at the new bloodlines. There is one thing that strikes me, with no more than 5 minutes research and perhaps a little advice a new player will choose the new caldari bloodline.
Gallente 5/7/6/5/7 you can then have either 3 will 1 cha / 2 int 2mem / 4 perc plus 5 points of choice.
Amarr 5/5/9/3/8 you can then have either 4 perc / 2 int 2 perc / 2 mem 2 will plus 5 points of choice.
Minmatar 7/8/4/8/3 you can then have either 2int 2 perc / 1 int 3 will / 1 cha 3 mem plus 5 points of choice.
Caldari 8/3/7/6/6 you can then have either 4 int / 2 perc 2 will / 1 perc 3 mem plus 5 points of choice.
With these starting stats wether you wish to be builder or fighter the obvious choice is the new caldari bloodline. Given that that area of space is already over loaded, could some consideration be given to re-working the other 3 races so they at least have a sporting chance of being picked.

Could we please stop making Caldari the only decent choice? I'm sure people like Digital Communist are looking forward to training his Tofu skills with the new Gallente race, but that monk is just abit too much. Caldari have a decent combat race already, they don't need one that'll end up with 23-24 in every stat after training learning skills and getting +3 implants.

That is why it is being tested, to find out things. Have you submitted a bug report on it yet?
Of course, it is possible that this is the way they want it, but then it might not be, so report it just to be safe.

"Of course, it is possible that this is the way they want it, but then it might not be, so report it just to be safe."
Given the developer comment on the issue, am guessing that's indeed the way they want it ^^;
"Lastly, let me explain briefly how we came about deciding on the new bloodlines. The Caldari and Gallente ones are the same as we intended to have in the game at launch (the original plan called for 3 bloodlines per race, but was later reduced to 2). For Minmatar we did consider numerous other possibilities (I was a fervent advocate of choosing Starkmanir - such an interesting RP aspect) - Thukkers were out because they don't belong to the Minmatar block and simply don't fit into the scheme of things; Krusual was out because they are fighters and Minmatar already has a fighter bloodline (Brutor), having another very similar didn't make sense and making the Krusual non-warriors was out of the question. The Minmatar needed a trader/manufacture type bloodline and the Vherokiors fit the bill perfectly for that. As for Khanid we did consider the Udorians and Ealurs first, but didn't find them interesting enough RP wise (they're not known to all and are not tangible in the game). I know the same applies to the Gallente and Caldari ones, but a) we already had some work done for them and b) there weren't any other all that good alternatives anyway. We flirted with the Ammatars for a long time, because it would be so cool RP wise, but decided against it because it would be confusing to players to see Amarr characters that were still Minmatar themed. So that left us with the Khanids, which is a choice I'm very happy with - it's a name most players are familiar with, thus making it easier to RP.
Oh, and the reason why Achura has 3 in Charisma is that the other 2 bloodlines both have fine Charisma stats (6) and also we wanted the Achura to excel as scientists (they are the only ones that can start out with level 5 in Science). We used the new bloodlines to fill in gaps in the character creation possibilities for each race, for instance the Khanids can be very good fighters, something both Amarr and Ni-Kunni lack a bit."

Anyone else find it thoroughly disgusting that achura can start with science 5?
Holy research alt batman!
Geeze does CCP just not want anyone to play non caldari characters?
PRoposal to fix blobbing and make Charisma useful.

Sucks to be you doesnt it.
Originally by: Market Scanner Maybe CCP needs to remove all 3D models of NPC's and replace them with white 2D squares with the NPC's name typed in the square. I miss pong.

Edited by: Leandro Salazar on 09/02/2006 22:17:22 Now I (and many others) picked Caldari because they had the only decent pictures. Now if you add uber stats to that as well, Jita will be at 1000 people soon :/ Please reconsider CCP. Diversity 4tw! Or not
And a starting stat at lvl5 is really just disgusting, you sure can't be serious?

Add to that the caldari favorable standings with the jove and you see a lopsided race not seen since the last Games Workshop salespitch.
Remind me about The Maze.
