Edited by: lisaaa on 28/03/2011 20:31:11 Why is it that almost every trailer I see from CCP they favour caldari in one way or another(they are they saviours, protectors, or simply they are showed more often) and if possible, show gallente in a bad light(being the bad guys or just being destroyed).
Here are some examples:
- Future Vision (caldari comes and rescues the day, gallente is evil)
- Causality (he is a caldari pilot)
- Tyrannis Teaser (it says "Will you rule with benevolance" and shows caldari ships, "or ruthless tyranny" and shows gallente and some minmatar ships.)
- Apocrypha Teaser (it says "There are those who are brave" and shows caldari ships)
- Quantum Rise (Well, in the end gallente wins by blowing everyone up with the titan, but still they get attacked by two forces (amarr and the one the reporter tries to mention but doesn't finish the sentence))
- Empyrean Age teaser 1/Empyrean Age (Gallente disrupts peace talks and crashes a supercarrier into a station)
- CCPGAMES Youtube homepage (It has caldari all over it, and no gallente)
I feel there is a conspiracy here... :tinfoil: :hybrids:

But they are .... ?!??!
And they also have the ugliest ships that look like space secretion. Their greatest accomplishment is inventing Quafe. Their best weapons are remote controlled toy mini-spaceships. Why on earth do people play them anyway ... ?
Oh well you can always cross-train ...

Well, duuh. Obviously.
The underdog almost as much as Minmatar, but far more civilized, driven off from their home by their former allies, smallest in size but most technologically advanced, what's not to love ? /me looks at self in mirror. Yup, Caldari.
CALDARI VICTOR ! _

But seriously, I think you're looking into the trailers too much :p imo I guess they're trying to make caldari seem less evil than the usual corporate bigwig is in popular media... --- +Welcome to my world+ |

I would most definately say gallente are the most useless race in the current state of the game. Hybrids are loltastic at best.

Well, they are the most played race in game as well... so there is a pattern. Don't know why they wouldn't promote the other races as well

That's not 100% true. You just need to know how to use them.
Name any battleship that can go toe to toe with a t2 fit blaster mega at under 10k? The issue there is just figuring out how to get that close. This is a user-strategy issue, not a ship flaw.
also, name a better drone boat then gallente.
They have their advantages, they're just harder to take advantage of.

1) Gallente did not crash a mom into that station it was the broker (youd know this if you read the books) gal were framed to kick off the war. 2) Caldari are almost as evil as the amarr when you look at them on paper (dictator lead / ruthless megacorps) i guess CCP want them to look better as most ppl seem to start off as them 3) Most ppl are caldari, so its natural to make your biggest audience feel pimp ============================ 2003 and still alive! |

>.> Atm I do have ~10.5 mil sp in drones just for that reason alone...but the blaster problem is something else... but you're right , if you get into range you do melt them.
I would like to see some web / speed bonuses on them, but that's changing the topic to something worth posting (for the nth time) in features and ideas :P They have their advantages, they're just harder to take advantage of.

Ca ldari are a perfect corporate lifestyle. The accusation of corruption alone results in the swift execution of the accused. Citizens are organized by variables they control namely wallet balance.
Ingame Caldari have the best solo t1 frigate (GRIFFIN) The most devastating t1 cruiser (Blackbird) the most gang friendly battlecruiser (Drake) and the rarely implemented but dominant Scorpion.
Caldari only weakness is they can't lone wolf.Their ship like their society is dependent upon teammates.
Other races fit their architecture well. The short lived. berseker rage of Minmatar alpha. The long brawling Gallente. And the POWER OVERWHELMING Amarr.

caldari have good image and terrible bad ships. They appeal to the masses, with bad selection of ships, the masses begin to carebear. (CCP longterm profit)
Gallente had some of the finest PvP ships before nano/scrambler/nosf/drone nerf. Every other nerf concerned gallente. Gallente were associated with brutal megattrones and mymidons, nanoed, solo pwn and deadly.
Gallente were master pirate race in between 2006-2008. Guns and hybrids and gallente drones were the best choice. No surprise that harcore PvPers got the image of the bad guys who why blasterboats.

Who doesn't love our awesome steel-grey colored spaceship? The color of REAL battelships.
I always thought of Caldari as crap for PvP, unless you count fleet support roles, which we seem to excel at. No one can touch our PvEness though.

When I started I chose Minmatar based purely on the backgrounds.
Minmatar: Underdog freedom fighters. Caldari: Heartless megacorp ultracapitalists. Amarr: Religious slavers. Gallente: French.
The choice was obvious really. |

Seriously? I thought Amarr were supposed to the THE most inglorious basterds in this game? I mean just the most general storyline.

Caldari = Americans (Achura = Japanese)
Gallente = French
Marketing the game to Americans is more advantageous than to the French. Also, they now have an office in America. They better damn well make us look good.

Well races are pretty meaningless in the player side as there are very few people who use faction warfare. And as far as I'm concerned CCP is making trailers that cater to player base. So that caldari wasn't actually working for caldari government instead she was just doing that for her interests. Same is also true for gallente. If CCP is building storyline with taking player actions as base then it is fair enought to say that pod pilots aren't exactly patriotic.
