Eve Echoes Races: Best Race to Pick
Getting started in Eve Echoes is a pretty overwhelming experience, and choosing which Eve Echoes race to play around is just part of that. It's hard to pick a race if you don't already know New Eden or any of the people who live there.
That's why we decided to create an Eve Echoes race guide: to make the first choice a little easier so you can play and have fun in New Eden.
Race affects many factors, such as which ships you start with and what special equipment you have initially. It also determines where in space you start, but in a place as big as New Eden, it won't matter much at the start as you will still have the same options as everyone else.
In the end, the best way to choose an Eve Echoes race is to just learn about them and see who is who.

EVE ECHOES - BEST RACE
Race in Eve Echoes is very subjective, but you can't go wrong if you make a choice based on initial advantages. It's also important to remember that Eve Echoes is still an RPG, so it's okay to roleplay a character.
If you choose a race and sub-faction based on your personal sci-fi interests or because their society sounds cool, chances are you'll enjoy playing as that race. You will also transfer to another ship very quickly, and ships from other factions are available on the market, so this is not a concern. So while there are different starting benefits, we recommend picking whichever race you like the most.
