Caldari are the most popular in EVE in the same way that Night Elf is most popular in WoW. Raven is most popular in EVE in the same way that Night Elf Hunter is most popular in WoW.

Originally by: Jinx Barker You need few million SP in Missile Skills to become proficient at hitting frigates for more than 10 Hp.
Atleast you can hit frigates
Try shooting a Rifter with a Mega Pulse, or a Ion Blaster, or a 800MM. Then cry. 10 damage on a frigate with cruise/torps? Lucky-freaking-you.

it's my opinion that Caldari are not overpower when you look at the big picture, it's just far to easy to get most of their power quickly.

Originally by: welsh wizard Which Caldari hac is the one you're referring to out of interest?
Cerberus, obviously.
The Eagles a top pvp ship too aslong as you don't restrict yourself to ranged combat.
being outdamaged by a thorax 4tw?
Are we talking about damage only here or which ship would win a 1v1?
Blaster Eagle > Deimos/Thorax
Amen, right now i would say Eagle > any cruiser, except maybe an ishtar. An eagle eats thorax's in cans of 12 and deimos' for desert :-)
As far as other caldari ships go. From what i've seen caldari are still one of the most popular ships in the game. My money is on the fact that you can quickly skill up to reasonable specialisation compared to other races. The first 5 million sp you spend in caldari skills (missiles, ships shield) are way more effective than the first 5 million sp you spend in any other race of ships. 5 mil sp in minmatar skills means absolutely nothing, amarr = ok, gallente = ok.
Though for both you really need solid armor tanking skills because armor tanking is totally dependant on how high you can get your resists. More hit points for short fights and more reps for longer fights, but both benefit tremendously from high resists. Where as you can get away with lower resists on a shield tank, and so lower skills and cheaper modules, because you can still absorb a lot of damage at the expense of cap. And cap is something caldari ships have a lot of.
At the end of the day.. a noob in a raven > a noob in anything else. But when people get more sp and more specialized i feel it all evens out more or less. There are still preferences but it doesn't go beyond that. Usually people skill through in what they were already skilling.
But caldari is also popular because it has many useful ships. I'm not saying they all pwn but lots of them serve a role quite well. A condor is a good tackler, a merlin is a popular choice for rookie npc'ers, harpies are i would say the most popular AF for pvp. Blackbird is very popular for pvp. Both moa and caracals see plenty of pvp and npc action.. where caracal > moa. Which imho is mainly because most caldari users have better missile than gunnery skills. I'm the other way around and i'll take a moa over a cara any day! Hac's right now both cerberus and eagle are very useful in pvp. I would say an eagle is king right now. In battleships there is no real discussion. Scorpions are very popular because of their ecm capabilities and ravens are equally popular because of their high survivability coupled with good damage output and BOTH require only very little sp to be truly effective.
I don't see why caldari WOULDN'T be a popular ship choice tbh.

Edited by: Retsudo Itto on 10/04/2006 17:59:28 When i first started EVE i made easy progress with my Caldari character reason missiles. However as time has gone on i find that although the caldari ships are good mission runners PVP wise I cant say the same as have had only 50/50 luck against none Caldari ships. As far as tank goes always thought the Apoc was the big daddy *shrug* as with all skills are the key i guess. The current area im in at moment is always teaming with ferox becuse there none to heavy on the skills to get a decent return off them. But as you get further in to the game you get an eventual yearning to fly other things as your skills go up. Given time all these Ferox pilots as they go further out will probaly fine other ships better suited to there style of play. PS its also as boreing useing the same ship for ever granted i use my Cerb for mission running but i enjoy takeing out my other ships for ratting mineing protection ect ect..
