Fat chance. I seriously doubt it'll last another 200 years in it's current form given the propensity for empires historically to fall apart.

What's not to love about the Federation? We are the only democratic republic in the universe. I personally fight daily to help protect innocents from the Ammarrian slavers and the Caldari Navy who seem all too willing to side with them for a little ISK. The Gallente, with our liberated Minmatar allies, will be the only barrier to stop the expansionist Amarr regime from taking the entire universe and crushing all individuality from its spirit. Gallente. Our people are happier, our friends are freer, and our women are much easier to talk to without getting an earful about budgets or dead gods. _______________________________________________ Now offering writing and editing services.

My character is Gallente - choosen because a few friends who started just before me suggested it as we would start playing in a similar area. Silly I know but that huge map made us think if we started with different races we would be huge distances apart.
Soon realised I did not really like the Gallente ships and was not that taken with the political concept. So now my character is much more of a genralist - I envisage him as a misfit type who does not fit into Gallente soceity, hence his mercenary lifestyle.
If you are interesting in the RP elements of the game race is just a start point.

Good to know we're overpowered in the future too! I really need to talk to the engineers though. Their ships look crappy :(

I chose Gallente because I liked the fluff. Eve was still a big mystery. Yes, democracy and bla bla, but fluff-wise something like the Gal 'federation' doesn't last without making quick and often brutal decisions. Funky.
Then, later, I found out Gal ships are the coolest looking, and have a very appealing design philosophy; for the most part it's dirty, in-close knivery.
Compare the rax or mega to the moa or raven. Looks wise, no contest

I never said we would last another 23000 years. We're only 230 in and look how screwed we are. America will soon be nerfed hardcore

Almost. We're like the Caldari State without their cool technology Currently our country's scientists are searching for the interdimensional particle the graviton. If we find it, hello 425mm rails and magnetic-propulsion engines Then we'll be there. ---------------------

Actually railguns do exist in a primitive form... Problem is the barrels can't take it

yes but without the spaceships <3
We're working on that. I think 2045 we should launch our first United States of Space : Raven.

I started out with Gallante all those years ago. But I made all the wrong choices and my dangerously low Perception really started to get me down. When the new bloodlines came out I jumped ship (and race... and gender) and made an alt. And after a few weeks I realised that I really didn't like my gallante character anymore so I proceeded to send him to his untimely demise and clicked delete.
I do however still like the gallante ships and back story over most other things in the game. And I do still intend to get myself a 'thron one of these days!

I would have to disagree; The US is only about five years behind Europe in nanny-statism and protectionist economic policies and regulation.
The Caldari would be closer to a pro-interventionist anarcho-capitalist society with their expansionist attitude and pure free market. The US and EU are far more socialist than that.
anyways,
I always felt a bit conflicted as I am a Caldari who flys Gallente Ships. It always feels a bit cruel to blow up the npc megathrons with my own megathron...

Yeah but we don't have the ammo either. We can't control plamsa effectively enough and we can't even create enogh antimatter to fill one 9mm pistol round. Let alone a 425mm shell. ---------------------

Comparing the EU to the US is like comparing the aging of fine wine to the aging of milk.

The "Amarr regime" will never have any sort of foothold on power. The Caldari are the most powerful race in the game and the introduction movie will tell you that. We simply let the other 3 of you live.  ___________________________ |

Two notes on the subject.
I always thought of the Caldari as more Japanese then American.
The Gallentee are like the French - everyone loves to hate them, though we do enjoy their food, women, etc.

Although the amount of double letters present in most caldari names (i.e. Kaalakiota, and Sukuuvestaa) make them seem a tad finnish ---------------------

As over powered as the Calderi are right now, they couldn't fight off the other three races as it stands. They'd have the fanatic heavy plated Amarr warships, hordes, upon hordes of Gallente drones, and the quick and agile ships of the Minmatar against them.
Of course, the Jovians could get bored, and kill everyone.

Originally by: Coda Relic Basically, in short, did I pick the 'red-headed stepchild' of Eve....?
Bah who cares? It's a game. Besides, a high charisma helps train leadership skills faster. Leadership skills do more for the group than _any_ individual skills do. Ever gone 5300 m/s in an inty with a MWD I? Yea, thats a 3800 m/s ship with no speed mods on it. Imagine that magnitude of bonus applied to damage and targeting speed as well.
Command ship + 3 gang modules + level 5 skills = i win button against an otherwise equal gang with none. Try training that with 16 charisma.
The grass is always greener...

Races and attributes mean not so much with the end game except that it is the time it takes for skills to train, we all know that.
But the race backgrounds are fun and the ships do matter as well. I am Caldari Civire and I fly Gallente ships. Nothing wrong with that. The Germans in the early '40s loved haveing French things, they just didn't want to be French :P
Acerbus Vindictum may be able to use you.

People hate the Gallente because of who they are: swinish, undisciplined louts who flout the authority of the Empire. Soon enough, they will be dragged squeaking from their little rat-holes and put to useful work.
