It's really quite simple, and utilitarian. When you get out of your pod, you can clean off the excess pod goo in about two seconds instead of having to deal with getting it out of your hair.
And have you ever gotten hair caught in an implant? Who wants that kind of aggravation?
We're Caldari, after all. This is about efficiency.
Oh I understand entirely why that's the case and as I said, it's by no means entirely a bad thing. Personally though I prefer having well groomed hair and going through the not-so-unpleasant experience of having a nice long hot shower after disconnecting from my Capsule to clean off all the fluid. As tradeoffs go, that's not too bad I think!
As for getting hair caught in implants, I will concede that it can be very annoying, but that problem can be largely solved by simply tying one's hair back. It's what I do anyway.

Showers are nice, true, but you don't need long hair as an excuse. If you feel like staying in the shower, stay in the shower.

I know very little about fashion. I tend to wear the same things over and over.
What I do know however is that there are two kinds of people in the cosmos. 1.Those that look better with more clothing. 2.Those that look better with less clothing.

I've seen one used as a bottle opener once.
It didn't work out too good for the bottle and the table it was sitting on. Everybody at the party looked surprised, so I'm thinking it just malfunked. Or the vapors from the **** that was in the bottle ignited and everything went boom.

When docked, they usually mean, "This is the end of a sensor and/or communications structure. Please do not steer your cargo flier into it."
Our ships sort of blend in with the rest of the docking bay, you know?
As for the shoulder-mount, I've never really looked into that, but I assume Verin's pulling your leg. I'd guess that it's a personal assistant system of some kind, not unlike the "monocle" you sometimes see Achura wearing.

I sometimes wonder, in a more sinister way, if our Ammarian allies have secret thoughts of enslaving the males of my bloodline. After all, we have a history of working hard and staying in peak physical condition, which seem like ideal properties of a good slave. It may be just a scary thought in my head, but I worry about the impression we're giving off.
You're right to fear the Ammarian impulse to enslave virile men. I've always said it was the Ammarian womenfolk who drove the Empire to enslave we of the People, after comparing our warriors to the robed, pasty scarecrows that passes for the majority of their males.
As for Civire men, I've always greatly appreciated them. They're aggressive enough to enjoy a good bar brawl, ****y enough to pick a fight with a Brutor, and generally passably skilled enough to provide for an enteraining tussle.

I've heard of this rumor on a few occasions as well. Were you to actually know anything about True Amarr females, you'd discover this scenario to be both ridiculous and laughable.... were it not so disgusting in principle.
Any Amarr woman degrading herself in such a manor would be quite ostracized and bring severe shame upon both herself and her entire family. This does of course occasionally happen from time to time among the masses, but is exceedingly rare.
As for the "robed, pasty scarecrows" you refer to, well that's certainly your opinion. Although comparing the virility of an elderly man of the cloth to some Brutor savage seems a bit silly.
Perhaps it is you that actually you that desires a woman with some actual class and breeding?

No, you always assumed that and I never felt like it was worth the effort to correct you. If we all felt that form was secondary to function, I'd be clean-shaven and wouldn't spend money on expensive suits. And we certainly wouldn't have such wastefully impractical things as a theatrical tradition, music, senses of humour or the NOH corporation.
What they specifically do varies from person to person. The rigs are made by all of the megas and are modular electronics backbones designed to support a range of hardware to match the user's needs. Mine contains a fluid router, a Ladar sensor, 3d camera, microphone, five petabytes of data storage and a biomonitor. The idea being that if something kills me outside the pod, my backup clone gets to watch an accurate record of the events leading up to his activation.
As you might guess, mine's an expensive one. the more common civilian models are usually dedicated to being a portable datacloud and GalNet terminal, with a volumetric display to function as an AR heads up. They're bigger than they need to be for the sake of robustness, ergonomics and blinky lights.
They're fashionable now, but like any fashion they'll probably fade out eventually, replaced by some other means of doing the same job. -

I agree. They're fashionable and useful. Caldari men, even Civire, don't ignore fashion. It matters to many of us, but we like our fashion to be non-trivial.

Of course I, and all Brutor men for that matter, desire to be with a woman with class and breeding. No doubt its a reason we freed ourselves from you and yours in the first place, as we were tired of being accosted by lust-crazed True Amarrian matrons.
And come now, we all that hint of the forbidden makes it all the more appealing, does it not Lady Vitalia?

They're blinky lights. You know how it is with Caldari and blinky lights.
Actually, you're not far from the truth.
Several months ago I attended an Impetus party after the filming of a rather dodgy film I somehow was cast in. If I'm not mistaken the party took place at one of Thoun Ysatault's mansions. Quite extravagant mind you. So, I happened to end up in this rather ill-lit room full of obscurity and flesh. I always hated dark rooms as they obscure people's eyes. I stayed regardless. <eh hem> Anyway, somewhere between an Intaki businessman, a Brutor mechanic, and the haze of all the X-Instinct and Drop I'd taken, there in the middle of the room stood an enormous specimen of a Civre man with one of those 'doodads' placed precariously on his right shoulder. As soon as I turned to face him, that 'doodad' suddenly lit up into one of the most spectacular lazer-light shows I've ever seen. Of course, some of those unclothed visitors were not too hesitent to show their displeasure of being illuminated in midst such circumstances. But that is another story I imagine. Funny, I meant to ask him where I could purchase such a thingamajig.

You don't. There's a good reason each one of those is customized. It's because us practical Civire men build them ourselves. You can buy the metal shells, but all the wiring and component installation and construction is up to you. Maybe that's why we don't see anyone else but Civire men with them.

Please, my dear fellow, you do me a bit of disservice. I said you lead me to believe the Caldari favoured function over form, not blindly pursued function to the exclusion of form. I think you also do a grave disservice to theatrical tradition, music and senses of humour (although possibly not Nugoeihuvi) by implying they are form without function.

Well isn't that a shame. I'll be the first to admit that I'm no Deteis merchandise mogul however, it seems to me one might make quite an economic killing designing a similar device for sale throughout the empire.

An interesting theory. Let us examine it. While it is true that the Brutors are often physically imposing, and wanton women may lust after them, what of the other tribes? The Seibestor may be able to construct a device that stimulates all fifty erogenous zones at once, which may also appeal. But what of the Vherokior? And indeed other tribes? Why would they be enslaved? What possible reasons would there be to attract these alleged lust-crazed women to enslave them and bend them to their will?
Accordingly, I believe there is insufficient evidence for your claim.

You may not want to take Daergaar's comments entirely seriously. All this "Practical Civire men make our own electronics" stuff is what's known in the trade as "bullsh**ting".
I'm an excessively wealthy man, and while it's true I do have the electronics skill maxed, "electronics" in this case translates to a mental sorting algorithm for subconsciously optimising the performance of starship CPU and memory clusters via a capsule interface. I wouldn't know the first thing about correctly configuring a custom shoulder rig... so I paid somebody to do it for me. FAR more practical. -
