I created my character about a week or so after the open beta went live and at the time, race was purely cosmetic, i selected Gallente because of their backstory, and with the new update, your race determines what your starter dropsuits are.

I'd much rather use the Calderi or Minmatar suit. Will there ever be some way to change our characters to what we want them to be? Because i really dont want to lose my something-million skill points by creating an entirely new character.

I know how you feel. But you can just save the current character you have without deleting him and start a new character. That way you can switch back and forth when a certain situation pops up. I know it's a big commitment to start over from scratch, but you should be comfortable with who you want to be and what you want to do rather than being miserable in something you're not comfortable in. Plus, no one knows how many SP you have anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem. I'm a deep role-player, so characters and names are important to me and I WOULD start over with a new character purely for cosmetic purposes. I have a 2nd character that's an Intaki ready and waiting. I'm a Gallente right now, but I'm starting to be very attracted to Intaki people because of their beautiful background and lore. So I will use both characters.

I have the name i want, and i'm happy with the backstory i've chosen, the issue i have is simply with the starter suit i'm stuck with. I'd much rather have one character to focus my attention on than two. I don't feel Dust really has much of a backstory to it on it's own unless you've studied up or played Eve online. I'm usually really into the story and all i understand from dust is that everyone is basically a clone with the original individuals consciousness.

Maybe you can spend some SP into the Caldari or Minmatar dropsuit skills and use those dropsuits instead. You don't have to advance those dropsuits too high, just use the low-tier ones until they bring in more new dropsuits for the Gallente in a future update/expansion.
