I think the poll is actually very accurate tbh.
The only thing I find hilarious is that almost every response in this thread can be put into one of two categories
1) "OMG how did (Caldari/Amarr) get rated so crappily! Clearly this poll is inaccurate because (insert the few ships from those races that are actaully good) are the pwnzor!11!1!eleventy!!111!"
2) "Well this poll proves that everyone thinks the grass is greener on the other side. Everyone knows for a fact that *insert race* is the best, but all their pilots are so spoiled and they whine and complain even though their ships are the best there is!"
(sorry for gross exageration, I'm just trying to make a point.)
Clearly the Gallente are the most popular because just about everyone who flies Gallente will vote for Gallente because a lineup Gallente ships are all very decent with really no completely useless ships (Ares is the only one people complain about). Caldari pilots also all vote for Gallente because even though they fly Caldari most Caldari feel shafted when they try to fight against their Gallente rivals in pvp. Caldari has some great ships but also quite a few sub-par ones when compared directly to Gallente.
Minmatar are also very popular because the speed of their ships makes them very fun to fly. Again because all Minnie ships are fast, there's really almost no Minnie ships that are considered useless. And once again, their rivals, the Amarr, can only shake their heads and feel that they got the shaft in comparision.
Yes the grass always is greener on the other side (except if you're Gallente  ), but if you read these forums you'll notice a trend that is very closely modeled in this poll. In general most people will continue to fly the ships they orginally trained for, which is why you still see Caracals and Mallers in pvp, but there are a lot people who would exchange their skill points in heartbeat, and the ones that have switched from Caldari and Amarr to Minmatar and Gallente end up a lot happier 
Sigs are overrated. |
