Garia666 Amarr T.H.U.G L.I.F.E	Posted - 2007.04.23 13:08:00 - [1] Edited by: Garia666 on 23/04/2007 13:04:42 As you can see on http://ineve.net/skills/racial_stats.php Caldari 8440 (40.44%) Minmatar 3499 (16.76%) Amarr 2776 (13.30%) Gallente 6156 (29.50%) Amarr supposed to have the largest population in eve. That might be in CCP there fiction story`s however the facts say something totally different. Nobody wants to be amarr.. with just 13% its the smallest of them all. As you can see the majority is caldari. I guess that has something to do with mission running and the amount of skills needed to do such effectively.. Minmatar suffer the same faith as the amarr with only 16% its the second ot fun race there is in eve. snip - signature removed, please email us with a link to the image if you wish to know why. -Ivan K ->My Vids<-

Nicholas Barker Caldari Black Bands Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.04.23 13:15:00 - [4] Caldari were the first to have pod technology :p The Matari actually have the biggest populace, but they're not all in minmatar space. (They're mostly in low sec campin' ur gatez) ------------------------------------- if i'm not posting about tactics or lag, don't take my posts seriously!
Zaphod Jones Minmatar Celtic Anarchy Anarchy Empire	Posted - 2007.04.23 13:18:00 - [5] or that this just goes to show 1 thet caldari is playing eve in easy mode 2 that caldari have the biggest epeens and like to brag about their stats Celtic Anarchy is recruiting
Frances Ducoir Academy of Decadence	Posted - 2007.04.23 13:18:00 - [6] Originally by: Garia666 Minmatar suffer the same faith as the amarr with only 16% its the second ot fun race there is in eve. which is strange. tbh i think autocannons are THE BEST pvp weapons in game. lots of damage, variety of damage with different munition, superior tracking and range (compared to blasters), and last but not least: no cap needed for firing. all for a bit less damage then blasters.
Banana Torres The Green Banana Corporation Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2007.04.23 13:25:00 - [7] My take on why there are more Caldary pilots is 1. Missiles and shield tanking makes PvE easy 2. The Caldary mega-corporation backstory attracts the wannabe Bill Gates. Anyhoo, it is well known, that the Gallente are the race to be. Most beautiful, most intelligent and most debauched.
FireFoxx80 Caldari E X O D U S Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2007.04.23 13:27:00 - [8] Face it, noone wants to join a bunch of religious nuts, or some weirdos who have ships that are barely capable of flying. What I do the rest of the time - Vote for a Jita bypass!
Ladyah Liandri VMF-214 Blacksheep	Posted - 2007.04.23 13:27:00 - [9] We had an argument over this very topic in our corp and here's my explanation of Caldarian superiority. <irony> Just look at the race sheets at the character creator. There's Gallente ... hhhmmm ... super-ghay. Amarr ... they only laugh once a year. Once. Between two yawns. Minmatar ... kinda dirty, sloppy and ... ouch! Yikes! Slaves! Very attractive. And then there's the real cool ones ... The only thing Caldarians really suck is fashion. </irony>
Janu Hull Caldari Order of Z Industries	Posted - 2007.04.23 13:34:00 - [10] Edited by: Janu Hull on 23/04/2007 13:34:38 Originally by: Frances Ducoir Originally by: Garia666 Minmatar suffer the same faith as the amarr with only 16% its the second ot fun race there is in eve. which is strange. tbh i think autocannons are THE BEST pvp weapons in game. lots of damage, variety of damage with different munition, superior tracking and range (compared to blasters), and last but not least: no cap needed for firing. all for a bit less damage then blasters. I've heard it told that Caldari are the typical "first toon" in EVE because missiles = cruise control for PvE. When players get serious about PvP, they swap to Gallente or Minmatar. I'm starting to see this myself, because I, obviously, started Caldari, but now that I'm getting my feet wet in 0.0, I'm seeing why high speed, close range ships are so damned popular in PvP. Gallente ships use pretty much the same skillset I use as a Caldari gundweeb, so transitioning to their ships is a logical crossover. Switching to armor tanking will be the biggest leap for me, I'm going to have to get out of the "When shields go down, you bail" to "When shields go down, the fun begins." This is my sig, there are many others just like it. With me, my sig is worthless. Without (or with even) my sig, I am worthless...
Del Narveux Obsidian Angels Enterprises	Posted - 2007.04.23 13:43:00 - [11] Reasons there are lots of caldaris 1. Theyre the one race that isnt totally damn fugly. Unlike the other three its actually possible to do a caldari guy who actually looks realistic, i.e. someone you might encounter walking down the street one day. 2. Char-creation backstory paints them as the underdogs, everyone (particularly americans) love underdogs and thus go caldari. 3. Missles are the best against NPCs. Honestly I think #1 and #2 are the main reasons though, because almost everyone Ive known who knew nothing about the game and related balance issues still picked caldari. _________________ [SAK] Alumnus--And Proud Of It! -- aka Cpt Bogus Is that my torped sig cloaking your base?

Brutor Shaun Minmatar Freelancers UK Alliance	Posted - 2007.04.23 13:46:00 - [12] When looking at those stats you have to remember that not everyone uses EveMon, and not everyone who does has it synced with InEve. Taking EveMon out of the equation, there's probably a vast amount of players who don't even know InEve exists. Drone Love - My skills

Honestly I think #1 and #2 are the main reasons though, because almost everyone Ive known who knew nothing about the game and related balance issues still picked caldari. The reason is simple - They were the first option on the old character generation screen. A new player could not know the differences so he just went if the first option he saw :) -- Billion Isk Mission
Von Druid Black Omega Security GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.04.23 13:58:00 - [14] I think it's mostly because of the race descriptions. Caldari: hard-working and patriotic Amarr: religious nutjobs Minmatar: primitive slaves Gallente: just French

Locus Bey Gallente Qalandar	Posted - 2007.04.23 14:11:00 - [16] Originally by: Bartholomeus Crane Originally by: Von Druid I think it's mostly because of the race descriptions. Caldari: hard-working and patriotic Amarr: religious nutjobs Minmatar: primitive slaves Gallente: just French I think we have a winner here. Except ofcourse that I choose the French ones ... With the Gallente choice i tend to think its the freedom loving aspect people choose on. Amarr, well to choose anything that ugly you'd have to identify with the distant flagellation they practiced Minmatar, i've met very few not attracted to hardcore pvp there. And Caldari, "hard working and patriotic," that's code for 'I enjoy the constrictive leather outfits we all wear
Shizuka Muto	Posted - 2007.04.23 14:45:00 - [17] I also think, that new players don't know much about the ingame stats and have other reasons to choose their race. My first character was Gallente - but then I deleted him and rolled a Caldari because all my friends started Caldari and I thought I can't play togehter with them (well I played WoW before) It's also interesting to look at the new bloodlines, which only exist since about one year. Almost 30% of Caldari are Achura, while the percentage of the other new asian bloodlines is about 15% of their race. A possible explanation is, that many experienced players chose Achura alts for their good stats...
James Lyrus Lyrus Associates Betrayal Under Mayhem	Posted - 2007.04.23 15:05:00 - [18] Originally by: Garia666 As you can see the majority is caldari. I guess that has something to do with mission running and the amount of skills needed to do such effectively.. My initial character choice (Caldari) was based entirely on backplot. I had no idea what was what in terms of ships, modules, stats or ... well anything else. Amarr was unappealing, Minmatar ... well vaguely, but always struck me as a bit of a 'chip on the shoulder'. Gallente, seemed vaguely ok, but Caldari = cool cyberpunk corp capitalist. The fact that Caldari actually look ... well human ... was an added bonus :) This was nothing at all to do with racial stats and ships (it was 2 years ago, after all, and that was the time of the gankageddon being uber)
Akita T Caldari Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2007.04.23 15:11:00 - [19] And don't forget, a lot of "less than one year old" chars are ACHURA And to makes matters worse, a lot of Achura male-played characters are Achura female avatars, due to the sheer fugliness of Achura males (unless you spend years tweaking the portrait, that is). _ MySkills \| Module/Rig stacknerfing explained
Korizan Oort Cloud Industries	Posted - 2007.04.23 15:12:00 - [20] Edited by: Korizan on 23/04/2007 15:10:26 Originally by: Von Druid I think it's mostly because of the race descriptions. Caldari: hard-working and patriotic Amarr: religious nutjobs Minmatar: primitive slaves Gallente: just French Well population last time I heard was based on well the birds and the bees. So by that standard. Caldari - Hard Working (if that is work sign me up ), patriotic (A new line do it for the race honey ) Gallente - just french (the stereo type of french lovers come to mind .. wonder why the were beaten out by the caldari) Minmatar - primitive slaves (Well when you have spare time and no money for anything else what else are you going to do) Amarr - religious nut jobs (well it is evil to do such acts unless under very strict rules)
Bistot Kid The First Thing You'll Ever See	Posted - 2007.04.23 15:33:00 - [21] I'd be interested to see a breakdown of races played based on your RL country. ie English people generally are known for rooting for the underdogs, so do we have a higher proportion of Minmatar? The French, do they tend to go for Gallente who are basically futuristic French (except their guns now work, and their ships don't just have reverse gears ) Americans? I always see them as Caldari due to the industrial & capitalist nature of the Caldari. Not really sure where the Amarr fit in. Do many Taliban play Eve? ------------------------------------- Hold my calls and sack my cook -------------------------------------
J Valkor Blackguard Brigade	Posted - 2007.04.23 15:37:00 - [22] Caldari have the best system set up for finding and training pod pilots. Ammar are an inbreed slave based theocracy. Do you think a smaller elite society or a much larger lazy society are more likely to produce pod pilots? Also, I am fairly sure that Ammar only pick pilots out of their existing elite, which narrows their population even more.
VanNostrum The Legion. Requiem-Aeternam	Posted - 2007.04.23 15:40:00 - [23] Those are just the numbers of characters from each race, not ships flown. My char is Caldari but i'm not flying Caldari ships, i'm flying minmatar/gallente ships. As Achura has the most balanced attribute distribution, it's not a surprise to see almost everyone creating Achura alts for whatever role.
Wendat Huron Lupus Industries	Posted - 2007.04.23 15:42:00 - [24] Could be as simple as the caldari having the coolest looking ships, ship names and avatars along with the 'right' spread of characteristics and the bountyhunter sticker to them.

Man, do you wear coke bottle glasses? Caldari ships fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. Best looking are the Jaguar and Wolf IMO. Beautiful to look and and to fly. ------------------------------------- Hold my calls and sack my cook -------------------------------------

Sorry but i find Caldari ships to be ugliest looking of all. Being an engineer myself, the asymmetry of Caldari ships just dont do it for me Symmetry is for the weak, challenge your mind. Perhaps I should add that the caldari ships have a sense of believability to them, whereas many of the other races ships does not compute.
Antiquus Altercor Minmatar Joint Ventures Limited Frontier Trade League	Posted - 2007.04.23 16:00:00 - [28] Edited by: Antiquus Altercor on 23/04/2007 16:05:10 Edited by: Antiquus Altercor on 23/04/2007 15:59:40 Although the Minmatar have the underdog factor working for them, to fly a Minmatar ship you have to have a sense of humor. I'd like spinner hubcaps on my Tempest, or rather I want to own the BPO for them... All the Minmatar would buy them. I have a Breecher, which is my nominee for the fugliest thing flying in the game - all it needs is a Tenna-rotor for that perfect 60's American trailer park effect.

Perhaps I should add that the caldari ships have a sense of believability to them, whereas many of the other races ships does not compute. Dunno, it's just that i tend to find the center of gravity of an object the strongest, and for ship the safest point. i know it doesnt make sense but it's just instinctive for me. The pilot cabins of caldari ships stick out from weirdest spots on their ships.
Maraude Fury Minmatar Shadow Of The Light R i s e	Posted - 2007.04.23 16:05:00 - [30] actually, I think that one reason for so many Caldari Alts is they are one of the faster lines to make into a cyno alt. I know I have 1 caldari main(Picked him because when I started they were described as being a military/tradeing people) and 3 caldari Cyno Alts. My main for pvp is a Minmatar.
