Miss Cold	Posted - 2006.01.26 00:56:00 - [1] I'm guessing 50% Caldari, 20% Gallente, 20% Amarr, and 10% Minmatar?
Pow3r Surg3	Posted - 2006.01.26 01:06:00 - [2] idk but id say all should be Minmatar. LIKE MEH!!
Oventoasted	Posted - 2006.01.26 01:07:00 - [3] yep those are acurate stats! LONG LIVE CALDARIAN STATE! - - - MMM MMM toasted
Dakath	Posted - 2006.01.26 01:09:00 - [4] Minmatar ftw! LAG!Ö
Miss Cold	Posted - 2006.01.26 01:11:00 - [5] Really I was right!? ... Cause I was playing as Caldari.. and there were tons of ships. Then I played minmatar and it was like empty space... lots of ...nothing. Is there a mod that can verify this or something?
JamesTalon	Posted - 2006.01.26 01:20:00 - [6] Caldari, for some reason I don't know, is one of if not the most popular race of all 4. When they release the Jove race, then that will probably change.

Then I played minmatar and it was like empty space... lots of ...nothing. Is there a mod that can verify this or something? eh i wish it was just trying to promote caldari values. my guess is 40% gallente 30% amarr 15% caldari 15% minmatar - - - MMM MMM toasted
Dark Shikari	Posted - 2006.01.26 01:30:00 - [8] 40% caldari, 25% gallente, the rest split between amarr and minmatar. -- Proud member of the [23]. The Tachikomas are DEAD! Click sig for video.
Sorja	Posted - 2006.01.26 01:33:00 - [9] Probably many reasons to play Caldari over other races like: 1¦ Top left race at the creation screen and default selected 2¦ Semi-human faces while some others have"... er... issues 3¦ Military description 4¦ Closest related to earth human race 5¦ The Moa is the best ship in the universe, is it?

St Dragon	Posted - 2006.01.26 01:43:00 - [11] My favourate race is amarr ships but i fly caldari because i love the way Missiles work now [Go on flame me ] ----------------------------------------------- "Kill one man, and you are a murderer. Kill millions of men, and you are a conqueror. Kill them all, and you are a god." -- Jean Rostand
Zysco	Posted - 2006.01.26 01:56:00 - [12] The reason is because caldari chars have the best attributes. Gallante Charisma is too high Amarr willpower is too high Minmatar intel/mem is too low Caldari has good everything but charisma.
Idara	Posted - 2006.01.26 04:58:00 - [13] Originally by: Zysco The reason is because caldari chars have the best attributes. Gallante Charisma is too high Amarr willpower is too high Minmatar intel/mem is too low Caldari has good everything but charisma. plus-plusity-plus. -------------------------------------------------------- Ensign BSC Military The maximum image file size allowed for signatures is 24kb. --Jorauk
Noriath	Posted - 2006.01.26 05:12:00 - [14] I think if charisma would acctually be worth anything Caldari wouldn't be so pupular... Also Caldari resemble somewhat of an "caucasian ideal", so I think a lot of new people find them simply the best looking. Overall I find the fact that most people play Caldari a point against them though. Being like everybody else sucks.
JamesTalon	Posted - 2006.01.26 05:42:00 - [15] I looked at each race before picking Caldari, and they were the only one that fit into my way of thinking, more or less. I prefer to be basically the under dog (I was Terran Republic on Planetside...we were always getting owned too), and I just happen to like being part of a strong military faction, regardless of size or actual dipiction in the game Funny quotes: San - The system is up says: the only thing Microsoft can make that doesn't suck is a vacuum Averick - "The box said "Requires Windows 95 or better" so I installed Linux"
Erivic Karkri	Posted - 2006.01.26 06:04:00 - [16] I like caldari because of the missiles, but amarrian ships have a certain charm
Montague Zooma	Posted - 2006.01.26 06:20:00 - [17] I knew nothing about the various Eve races when I first booted up the game and had the darndest time figuring out which one to pick. I think I picked Amarr because their ships were supposed to be the most heavily armored and I thought that might buy me a little extra time in battle while I tried to figure out what the heck was going on. That and the lasers appealed to me more than the other weapons. ------------------------------------------------------------------- One noob. One corp. One complete waste of 1.6 million isk.

Sleazy Cabby	Posted - 2006.01.26 06:49:00 - [20] <---- I just liked the face. I live in Minnie space, drive Minnie ships, and I'm rooting for the Gallente/Minmatar Alliance.
Meridius	Posted - 2006.01.26 07:07:00 - [21] The real numbers were posted by a dev a few years ago. Caldari had the most and Amarr had the least IIRC (gallente 2nd, minnie 3rd). ________________________________________________________
Rocket Revenger	Posted - 2006.01.26 07:13:00 - [22] I think I can sum it up even more specifically: 90% SWA noob corp 5% gallente 3% amarr 2% minmatar
Corp Scammer	Posted - 2006.01.26 07:17:00 - [23] considering all the noob corps lets take the noob corp players out and give us hte data of those in player corps

Kay Han	Posted - 2006.01.26 10:44:00 - [25] Originally by: Miss Cold I'm guessing 50% Caldari, 20% Gallente, 20% Amarr, and 10% Minmatar? Interacial war 4tw Long Live Caldari ___________________________________________ A wise man said once: 'Violence is the escape of the mentaly poor guys.'
My grandfather	Posted - 2006.01.26 10:50:00 - [26] I think most people just take caldari because they look the best. And they aren't very creative in making good-looking or original chars with other races. Besically, my guess is: People who make their first char, not knowing anything about attributes, will make a caldari more likely then anything else. I myself am the exception to that rule Older players, who know the ropes, will more likely take a char with balanced attributes, like sebiestors.
Mah Kraah	Posted - 2006.01.26 10:57:00 - [27] last time they gave out numbers was in the jove bodypart event. its a while ago and i do have no idear if it has changed since than. at that time it was 1. caldari close followed by galente than after a big gap minmatar close followed by amarr. yes at that time amarr was clear last. who whant to play a stubborn racist religeous extremist??? the storrryline say different. there the minmatar are discribed as the most numerous but not most powerfull as 1 third are enslaved to the amarr and big numbers live in the galente federation and the remaining sovereign minmatar ppl are divided into the ammatar and minmatar republic and the tukkertribe out in 0.0. just the ones living in the republic do eaqual the caldari who are nothing more than a galente federation splitoff :-)
Captain Rickdick	Posted - 2006.01.26 11:18:00 - [28] Up the Minmatar! Dudes it said they where underdogs of the galaxy and they have machine guns! o yea and sunglasses :)
sallyr	Posted - 2006.01.26 11:39:00 - [29] Well i started Gallente then converted to caldari . . . but after the missile patch my 150k in missiles didnt really cut it, so i went back to gallente and frankly dam there mint! i put my faith in drones and rails anyday snipathron . . .fairlys the best sniper blasterthron . . .fairlys the best close up! they just lack something in the middle. but with rails amazing fall off who needs a middle! and heck what has caldari got that looks anything like a thorax. you just got boxy ships of ugglyness oh and minimatar suck bum ammar are nice tho! (\_/) (O.o) (> <)
Rodge	Posted - 2006.01.26 12:00:00 - [30] I remember that CCP did the breakdown of races. Caldari were miles ahead of any other race. Pretty sure it went Caldari > Gallente > Amarr > Minmatar for numbers. When the Caldari Achura Monk comes in, expect to see most new players signing up for that..... [ 2005.04.17 00:34:30 ] Nagilam > u better leave Rodge, u will not gank any1 else 2nite......
Leandro Salazar	Posted - 2006.01.26 16:07:00 - [31] Personally, my first char was made Caldari only because of the Uniform. I am a Star Wars Imperial freak and they had the only char I could make remotely look like an Imperial Fleet officer. Other than that I have no love at all for Caldari, I fly Minmatar ships in Amarr space and I despise missiles...
Asestorian	Posted - 2006.01.26 16:48:00 - [32] Caldari just seem to appeal to most people. It's likely the military thing, and that Caldari seem to look quite human. People may also just like missiles =/ Also, if a n00b reads the forums before making a character, they will see all this stuff about Caldari and how good they are, and just say: "OMFG BBQ LOLZ, I R GOIN CALDARI!" Though maybe not like that.. --- ---
Erfnam	Posted - 2006.01.26 16:51:00 - [33] I picked caldari because of looks and more importantly, the military background with a history of gambling and such. -- Recruiting Channel "TCSyn Casino" - IGB Slots, Blackjack & Poker.
Naevius	Posted - 2006.01.26 16:55:00 - [34] I picked Amarr because their ships looked like they had been designed by sober people, and because lasers sounded like the best weapon choice...then I found out that missles never miss.... Life's a journey. Shame about the destination...
Snake Jankins	Posted - 2006.01.26 16:56:00 - [35] I play the Minmatar, well not all, but 3 of them. (Perhaps some kind of masochism. ) ___________ 'Only ships can be assembled, this is a Frigate.'
Avon	Posted - 2006.01.26 16:59:00 - [36] I played Minmatar (Brutor) during the beta, and on release I thought it might be nice to fly a finished ship, so I went Caldari. The Battleships is not and should not be a solo pwnmobile - Oveur
Noriath	Posted - 2006.01.26 17:11:00 - [37] In a racial war Caldari probaply wouldn't do well at all, because most people who play caldari would probaply be totally oblivious to what's going on anyways, being the bloatrace and all. Usually the biggest factions never do well because most of the people in them aren't in it out of passion. I mean even right now the biggest roleplaying factions that really stand for one empire or the other are found in Minmatar and Amarr, the two races that acctually have the fewest players...
Tharrn	Posted - 2006.01.26 17:23:00 - [38] Actually I like the ruthless corporate background of Caldari a lot. In beta I played Gallente because I thought the ships looked better and as a Federation appealed to me, too. And then a mate from Jumpgate convinced me to go Amarr in retail and quit a week later as he moved house. And then I found out that background actually means **** as you don't get a bonus for flying the ships of your own race :P Now recruiting!
Gauge Lockhart	Posted - 2006.01.26 17:34:00 - [39] I've had Gauge here as a PC of mine for almost 7 years. He started in the tabletop RPG Alternity Star*Drive Setting. He's a corporate made (and generally controlled), cybernetically enhanced grunt with a wide moral streak. Caldari simply fit the character to a 'T' ! As with some others here, the religious zealotry of the Amarr simply doesn't appeal to me. The Minmatar will probably be my next... i love rooting for the underdog. _______________________________________________ -=The Believer is Happy; the Skeptic is Wise=-
ParMizaN	Posted - 2006.01.26 17:40:00 - [40] Bah i wis i had have picked amarr .. but yeah the wole mility description mde me pick them .. and im not the type of person to re-roll Phenomena of ironies, cast the litany aside How intelligible, blessed be the forgetful
Cypherous	Posted - 2006.01.26 17:49:00 - [41] Minmatar beat all, chicks dig the shades
Sebastien LeReparteur	Posted - 2006.01.26 17:55:00 - [42] Minmatar! They have a cause and after a while you get to love those sharp angled ship! I wish I could paint my ship red and yell: "Speed Freak"
Another Xuun	Posted - 2006.01.26 18:06:00 - [43] Originally by: Uther Doull Originally by: JamesTalon I prefer to be basically the under dog (I was Terran Republic on Planetside...we were always getting owned too), and I just happen to like being part of a strong military faction, regardless of size or actual dipiction in the game well except for the military part, if you wanted to be the underdog you should have gone minmatar :P anyway, i picked sebiestor cus they're more of a 'work from the shadows' type the amarr religious fetish just bores me to death, and i didn't like the caldari because of the whole 'GI-Joe-i-can-make-bricks-using-my-chin-as-a-template' look and the gallente, well... they're french! Sebiestor was my very first, I didnt start in any of the others pretty much for the same reason you listed. if it was for looks, I would choose caldari first .. Amarr last . . the amarr, well they have no lips if it was the look of ships it would be Gallente . . minmatar last . . looks like they were stuck with left over parts I do play all races now, my 2 mains are minmatar, then follow by gallente, Caldari and last Amarr
Lardarz B'stard	Posted - 2006.01.26 18:10:00 - [44] More people pick caldari because you get to make a character that looks like one of the cast of Starship Troopers, is in the army and is therefore perceived as 'hard', and has a face that looks like its saying 'you wanna piece of me, punk?' Less people choose the Amarr because they look more intelligent and appear to be more suited to needlework and librarianship. They also wear attractive hooded tops. Gallente is an interesting choice. They look and feel French. Make of that what you will. More people should pick Minmatar, for the simple reason that they look thick, don't wash and appear to enjoy heavy metal, which is probably an accurate representation of the average eve player. maggot for the win
Noriath	Posted - 2006.01.26 18:15:00 - [45] Originally by: Tharrn And then I found out that background actually means **** as you don't get a bonus for flying the ships of your own race :P That's exactly the reason why everyone and their Fedo pick Caldari though, let's say you want to make a pilot that uses Amarr ships really fast, you just make a Caldari char with higher atributes and you're up there much faster. That's also exactly the reason why in war between the empires Caldari wouldn't do good I think. Lots of people just roll them for whatever reason, but not to acctually be a Caldari. But, yea, I do have to say its kind of disappointing that there is absoloutly no engine rewards for picking a certain race over another unless you really want the stats for a certain group of skills. I don't think that being born on some planet should give you special powers of some sort, but when it comes to interaction with people in the universe you should always have some different reactions based on your race and background. Even the rights you enjoy in certain regions of space could be different depending on where you are acctually from. I mean it would be really nice if socially there was more of an impact from your race.
Lygos	Posted - 2006.01.26 18:47:00 - [46] I never really thought about it much. My misanthropic side always assumed it was a direct result of the fact that the political background of Caldari is overtly phallangist over laying slickly advertizable, sterile culture. Basically western society in a nutshell. Eunoia: The persistent suspicion that the universe is secretly conspiring to quietly improve one's life.
Gauge Lockhart	Posted - 2006.01.26 20:08:00 - [47] Lygos, yeah, the Caldari represent the stark, inhuman side of unfettered capatalism. behold the almighty ISK! Of course, Gauge isn't like that. he's a diamond of 'humanity' in the rough. _______________________________________________ -=The Believer is Happy; the Skeptic is Wise=-
Tarsha Listur	Posted - 2006.01.26 20:47:00 - [48] yeah i really look french..wait..oh noes i aint gallente. Intaki 4tw
Pete Stalker	Posted - 2006.01.26 20:48:00 - [49] Originally by: Zysco The reason is because caldari chars have the best attributes. Gallante Charisma is too high Amarr willpower is too high Minmatar intel/mem is too low Caldari has good everything but charisma. Yeh. Everyone said you should pick up balanced atts, so Caldari was the best choice. 8 int 9 perc 6 char 8 will 8 mem. Anyway, I fly Minmatar ships now. Minmatar > Caldari. Stupid atts. g
Kane Jacobs	Posted - 2006.01.26 21:00:00 - [50] I picked Caldari cuz I thought I was gonna be able to shoot all the ghey Gallente ppl.. (Caldari vs Gallente war thing etc) _______________________________________________
Hamatitio	Posted - 2006.01.26 21:31:00 - [51] My original character was amarr, but when he got stuck in a system, I logged off and logged on a new character. I had been told I could get an ospreyt o mine in from my friend, so I picked caldari, frig 4 and got into an osprey right when I started. I started caldari to mine /me sobs. --- I Post on the forums for Fate. Im cool. Fate. Recruitment Thread
Kyoko Sakoda	Posted - 2006.01.26 21:36:00 - [52] Caldari are only #1 because they are the first race to show on the Race selection screen.
Saelek	Posted - 2006.01.26 21:39:00 - [53] I have no idea what % play all i remember is that minnie were the minority sob where are the dark seductive sebiestor females when u need em
Syrec	Posted - 2006.01.26 21:43:00 - [54] For those who know anything about attributes, the charisma factor is a big reason to go Caldari. Charisma sucks, having it means other stats are lower.
Noriath	Posted - 2006.01.26 23:29:00 - [55] I think CCP should finally toss us Charisma heavy characters a bone and base some really valuable skill lines on charisma. I would like to see an investigation skill line that can be used to find out stuff about corps, players, locations... Like for example where a player is, who the members of a corp are, that kind of thing. That way bounty hunting and intelligence operations would finally become a reality. Of course they would be based on charisma. Also a smuggling skill line would be cool, that gives you the ability to bribe customs agents to look the other way, or avoid them from detecting your cargo alltogether by making clever excuses when something shows up as slaves on their scanner "Those aren't slaves, it's a bondage fetish party I host on my ship..."
asdgdg	Posted - 2006.01.26 23:45:00 - [56] Originally by: Uther Doull and the gallente, well... they're french! I am surprised it took someone this long o point that out...Freedom Fries FTW!!!
