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:

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.

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. |

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.

Oh hells bells yeah! ...what's not to luv?? Death to Gallente!! (evil ancient roman empire types)
As for the great ship debate, you can always train for other ships. Like I fly both Caldari and Mins, and probably will train all four empire frigate classes at some point. Whatever it takes to kill as many Gallente as possible. Someone has gotta protect the universe from 'em.

I don't think you "got" the trailer. There's just two forces there, an Amarrian heir's army and the Federation Navy kicking his ass.
Also the whole 2011 Fanfest was Gallente themed i guess you weren't paying attention ?

I can't really see the federation crest there, only a brown U. So I can't say it is or it's not ...
QR: The reporter says that federation space was invaded by the amarr and just before it was invaded by someone else. He is interrupted because of the changes on the battlefield.
I heard that the fanfest was Gallente themed sadly, I couldn't be there to actually see anything. And on the live stream, I couldn't see anything gallente specific only the couple of times they mentioned that...
Also, you're taking this a little to serious ...

@Lisaa, nop, they say something like: "Heavy fighting is going underway between forces ... ", since they also show planetary fighting footage it should be between forces on the ground, not some third force.
How is Quantum Rise bad for Gallente and good for Caldari anyway? Amarr attack Gallente, Gallente responds by wtfbbqing Amarr (well not really Amarr but just some Amarr dudes fleet) fleet, and later also do an unopposed counter attack in Amarr space for revenge. Doesnt really sound that bad for Gallente. Aditionally I liked Quantum Rise trailer best, only downside is that imo without problems it could have been 5 times longer :(
Quote: 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.
This really should be noted, Gallenteans are the only ones who did nothing wrong around Empyrean age, Amarr are well, slavers, Caldari started a war by false flag operations, one of them killing the only reasonable megacorp leader (granted I dont think Heth knew that that nyx was also a false flag operation) and Minmatar attacked Concord.

Well, it was an "Elder fleet" that allegedly did it, and Minnies//Thukker didn't exactly do anything to stop them, but they didn't condone it either, and after that, Thukker actually got "promoted" from pirate faction opposed to Minnies and CONCORD to a neutral faction towards CONCORD and in good standings with Minmatar ("open border policy"). _

It's nice to get more info on the backstory!
What is this Elder fleet you mentioned ?
@Furb Killer
I liked that one a lot also, it's not bad for Gallente because they win obviously. Heck, I even used it in one RP session.
What is this counter attack that you mention ? Is it documented anywhere ? :O

"AD 23236 (YC 0) : Eden Standard Time (EST) is agreed upon by world leaders at the historic Yoiul Conference. A period of accelerated space colonization by independent parties begins"
"YC 105 : The capsule and the clone are joined. Capsuleers begin plying the spaceways and the Empyrean age begins." (not to be confused with the "Empyrean Age" expansion, here "Empyrean age" refers to the in-game modern era)
EVE was officially launched in May 2003 (with the open beta going on a few months before then), and it was YC 105. YC 105 corresponds to real-life year 2003. After that, it goes on in realtime.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Year_YC110 "Empyrean Age" (the EVE expansion) was launched in June 2008, introducing factional warfare. The events you wanted some more backstory on can be found there.
P.S. We are now in YC-113.

Did u guys ever think that Gallente simply looks more badass than any other race and still is the most used race for capital ships? Moros, Thanatos and Nyx are by far the most common Caps around. And Erebus is only second to Avatars as far as i know (and have seen).
That Moros firing in that *Future Vision* Video simply looks damn cool. |

Props to the Khanid, Sebiestor and Vherokior though, you guys are cool. you can come party.
Ugly != Masculine
Oh and to the idea that Gallente = french while Caldari = American, Gallente society is far closer to American society than Caldari. While Caldari might be some proto-fascists dream of what America should be Gallente are closer.
In fact Caldari is more like what would have happened had the south succeeded in seceding. They were after all members of the Federation but they didn't want to comply with Federation standards on civil rights as such they seceded from the Federation, Like Lincoln the Federation attempted to force them back in rather than risk setting a precedent that would splinter the Federation and leave them vulnerable to potential enemies (Amarr).
Oh and another thing I think a lot of American's miss in all this is that Gallente are liberal in the European sense as in free-market capitalist not the GOP propaganda created leftist socialists that so many American's mistakenly assume liberal to mean.
Gallente = Democratic Minmatar = Tribalistic
Caldari = Fascist Amarr = Theocratic
That's the way I see it.
Of course the real favoritism I see is in high sec combat agents where Caldari have more high sec based L4 combat agents than all the other Empire factions combined.

Well perhaps the mission revamp will change that, if they make all the mixed agent types (public relations, personnel, advisory) into Q20 combat agents. I'd applaud that!

Of course ccp loves the Caldari (and any other race for that mater) just look at how long the Gallente has been broken as a whole for a while, and the changes that would need to to implanted to balanced them with the other eve races have not even been touched.
If anything I would say CCP hates Gallente more so then favors caldari at lest the other races are balanced. Look how long we (the player base) has been screaming for changes to hybrids.

FWIW, as a Gallente I dismiss all the slader posts against my race, as the Gallente are the democrates of Eve and are an open liberal society.
Minmatar are just a bunch of war like tribal peasents with a chip on each sholder.
Caldari are just a bunch of corporate totaliarian control freaks.
And the Amarr are just a bunch of religous nutjobs.

The indoctrinated propaganda speech is still going strong I see. Was it something that you were (forcibly) taught, by a certified pain technician?

Children, children, we all know deep down in our hearts, whether we choose to admit it or not, there is one clearly superior race, Amarr, pure Amarr.
I will concede that Minmatar hides do make wonderful wall hangings, and as an added bonus, inspire increase productivity in the remaining slaves, I mean staff.
/Evil RP off
The Caldari back story does seem to appeal a larger section of the player base than any other race. I don't know many people who rolled anything other than Caldari for their first character, apart from myself. I guess they appeal to a similarly large chunk of the CCP staff. I wouldn't say it's holding hybrids back though, after all there are hybrid toting Caldari ships which need even more love than the Gallente hybrid boats.

Fixing hybrid turrets might be a good start. An even better start would be kicking out the guy who is responsible for ship designs but hates gallente, as seen during the fanfest.
His Caldari ship design was also ugly as hell.

Originally by: Akita T 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 !
/me looks at self in mirror. Yup, also Caldari!

Yes, and isn't that what they really need to upgrade rather than turrets? The whirlybobs dammit. Fix the whirlybobs. Make them pop up and hide.
