Louis deGuerre Gallente The Rise of The Dragon Knights Void Alliance	Posted - 2009.10.06 09:12:00 - [1] I suspect this is beating a dead horse, but I am seeing a strange absence in EVE, and I'm wondering if someone can give me an plausible explanation why this is so. There is a pirate faction containing a mix of two races, two even for Gallente/Minmatar : - Angel Cartel (Minmatar/Gallente) - Serpentis Corporation/Guardian Angel (Gallente/Minmatar) - Guristas (Caldari/Gallente) - SanshaÆs Nation (Amarr/Caldari) - Blood Raiders (Amarr/Minmatar) So why is there no pirate faction with these mixes ? : - Caldari/Minmatar - Gallente/Amarr If I look at the empire faction map I can't think of a reason for this as well. Gallente and Amarr border each other so you'd expect their tech to overlap a lot more than Caldari and Amarr. Minmatar and Caldari also border each other. --- Sol: A microwarp drive? In a battleship?

TimMc Gallente Brutal Deliverance Tactical Narcotics Team	Posted - 2009.10.06 11:40:00 - [2] Dead horse is significantly beaten, but point remains that need more combinations. What would EoM be anyway? Gallente/Amarr?
Tippia Raddick Explorations Controlled Chaos	Posted - 2009.10.06 11:42:00 - [3] Originally by: TimMc What would EoM be anyway? Gallente/Amarr? More likely Caldari/Amarr — they use distinctly Caldari weapons (or well… exactly the same weapons as Guristas at least) in Amarr ships. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki
Doomed Predator Red Federation	Posted - 2009.10.06 12:14:00 - [4] Ummmmm,wtf is that to the right of the Jove empire? No, not the drone regions, the one between the Jove empire and Drone regions. 99% sure that doesn't appear in the ingame map. The 'Fendahlian Collective' strikes again
Zaknussem Intrum Industria	Posted - 2009.10.06 12:52:00 - [5] Check the date in the bottom-right corner.
Gieron Middleton and Mercer LLP	Posted - 2009.10.06 13:30:00 - [6] Minmatar and Amarr are enemies Gallente and Caldari are enemies Minmatar and Gallente are friends Amarr and Caldari are friends, although perhaps a bit reluctantly Gallente and Amarr are enemies, but not very close Minmatar and Caldari are barely aware of each other
Nikita Alterana Gallente Clearly Compensating	Posted - 2009.10.06 13:38:00 - [7] Originally by: Doomed Predator Ummmmm,wtf is that to the right of the Jove empire? No, not the drone regions, the one between the Jove empire and Drone regions. 99% sure that doesn't appear in the ingame map. that would be the mighty dev alliance __________________________________________________ I was Amarr before they were the FOTM and I'll be Amarr after it! I'm also training Minmatar Capitals! And I eat Lions!
Aodha Khan Minmatar Cruoris Seraphim Exalted.	Posted - 2009.10.06 13:50:00 - [8] Originally by: Louis deGuerre I There is a pirate faction containing a mix of two races, two even for Gallente/Minmatar : - Angel Cartel (Minmatar/Gallente) - Serpentis Corporation/Guardian Angel (Gallente/Minmatar) - Guristas (Caldari/Gallente) - SanshaÆs Nation (Amarr/Caldari) - Blood Raiders (Amarr/Minmatar) So why is there no pirate faction with these mixes ? : - Caldari/Minmatar - Gallente/Amarr Angel Cartel - Caldari/Minmatar/Gallente/Amarr Serpentis - Caldari Sansha - Caldari/Minmatar/Gallente/Amarr Blood Raiders - Amarr
Gnulpie Minmatar Miner Tech	Posted - 2009.10.06 14:35:00 - [9] Originally by: Louis deGuerre So why is there no pirate faction with these mixes ? : - Caldari/Minmatar - Gallente/Amarr Why should there? Making up some list and then saying that those two are not on that list and therefore should be in game is a pretty weak reason. Come up with something more substancial. Not the absence of something needs to be explained but the existance of something!

Originally by: Gnulpie Originally by: Louis deGuerre So why is there no pirate faction with these mixes ? : - Caldari/Minmatar - Gallente/Amarr Come up with something more substancial. - Fast ships with missiles and wingy bits. - Organic looking bird of prey ships. I want to fly those hybrid ships Seems like a damn good reason to me --- Sol: A microwarp drive? In a battleship? Are you insane? They arenÆt built for this! Clear Skies - The Movie
Vak'ran	Posted - 2009.10.06 15:07:00 - [11] Originally by: Louis deGuerre So why is there no pirate faction with these mixes ? : - Caldari/Minmatar Would it be because Minmatar hate Caldari guts for not being that strictly opposed to slave trade, under the absence of generations-long slave-master relations leading to the Amarr-Minmatar crossover? Quote: - Gallente/Amarr Maybe because they hate each other's guts, period? (also with no prior relation leading to crossover) To me it kinda enhances the backstory to have some people just not getting along enough, forced or otherwise, to share tech. ----- Vak'Ran is your local official non-dedicated part-time advocate of reading comprehension and proliferation of intelligence on the EVE Online Forums.

That can hardly be it as we have : - Guristas (Caldari/Gallente) - Blood Raiders (Amarr/Minmatar) whose races are blood enemies. --- Sol: A microwarp drive? In a battleship? Are you insane?

Vak'ran	Posted - 2009.10.06 15:16:00 - [13] Originally by: Louis deGuerre That can hardly be it as we have : - Guristas (Caldari/Gallente) - Blood Raiders (Amarr/Minmatar) whose races are blood enemies. Read mate, Caldari and Gallente have a very long background (Caldari State split off the Gallente), as do Amarr and Minnie (master-slave). Bound to be some tech exchange. The two combinations suggested by the OP have no such past relation, plus no good reasons to like eachother either. ----- Vak'Ran is your local official non-dedicated part-time advocate of reading comprehension and proliferation of intelligence on the EVE Online Forums.
Adam Ridgway Minmatar	Posted - 2009.10.06 15:26:00 - [14] Because we need RP reasons to create new factions... not. RP reasons can be made later. I indeed would like to see EOM (amarr/caldari) with a proper NPC region, LP stores & faction ships. Probably would be armor tanking missile boats?
Jarna Amarr Eternal Frontier	Posted - 2009.10.06 15:54:00 - [15] Originally by: Louis deGuerre I suspect this is beating a dead horse, but I am seeing a strange absence in EVE, and I'm wondering if someone can give me an plausible explanation why this is so.

Gallente and Amarr border each other so you'd expect their tech to overlap a lot more than Caldari and Amarr. Minmatar and Caldari also border each other. Tech doesn't overlap because of proximity but becasue of alliance. Amarr and Caldari like each other; Amarr and Gallente do not like each other. Rather simple. ------------------------------ EVE players are just as immature as WoW players.
Orpheus Rael	Posted - 2009.10.06 20:58:00 - [16] So why is there no pirate faction with these mixes ? : - Caldari/Minmatar - Gallente/Amarr -Caldari & Minmatar---missiles & projectiles = the remnants of Earth, who would probably use both, being as both are the most basic of weapons -Gallente & Amarr----hybrids & lasers = Jovians, high impact energy weapons that will seriously ruin your day
