Do people roll caldari because they start with 3 charisma and you can leave it at 3 thus having more points for perception & intelligence?

yes, the informed ones
I've heard many initially rolled Caldari because they were the first option and decent looking/decent background.

you know what, it's not too hard to be dual nationality in EVE
you don't need 20 Mill SP in gunnery or missiles to make a difference
I have 10 mill in each and am caldari/amarr
I snipe and do corp duties in my amarr and mission running in my caldari ships

I had no idea what the stats actually meant when I made this char, was pleasantly surprised when it turned out I had made a good choice.

I went Achura for the huge intelligence attribute possible. got 33 intelligence and 25 memory now! perfect for a researcher. rank 8 science skill from lvl 4 to 5 in around 25 days. thats at 2,730 Sp's per hour! awesome. But she is an alt. would be pretty naff as an all rounder or a main. |

I was new to Eve and didn't know the impact of the attributes when I rolled Caldari 2 years ago. The back story on Caldari seemed to suit me best. I made the mistake of picking a career path (which is no longer an option) instead of doing custom (which is now the only option). My highest base attributes are the least useful two (Charisma and Willpower). But I'm too old to start over, and my other stats aren't that bad (23s with +5 implants).

The best character for a new player interested in PVP is achura because of the 3 charisma. It is also easiest to rat/mission as a Caldari which is a bonus as well.

Yeah :)
In the mean time, I made this Deteis not because of CHA etc but because was the only one who got Trade (for Black Marketing skill), and giving some usefull bonus (INT/PER if remember correctly). All the others gave full CHA :)
Realy wish I was an Amarr but......

I do believe at the ol EVE Bar and Grill you can pay a flat $10 and they allow you to change your portrait.

Went with Achura on my main because my friends who had been playing longer informed me they had the best starting attribs, so I went with the flow.
However as he was the ugliest thing to grace EVE I created this lovely alt who will be my PvPer, while my main runs missions to fund her.

If they're rolling an alt they probably do. If they're new to the game then they probably roll Caldari because they're (or were at least, I haven't rolled a new char in a while) the first option people reading from left > right see and their background says "Rarrrgh! Military-like types!"

You mean, why people start (in the past 1.5 years) as ACHURA ? 
Just look at the "new char" linky in the sig and you'll almost instantly realize why

I rolled Caldari because it's what I had tried in earlier trials and in the beta, and I was looking forward to using the Ferox, Drake and Rokh. I was also drawn in by the backstory.
If Amarr had gunmetal-coloured ships with navigational lights I'd have rolled them in a heartbeat.

Yes, I did it for the 3 charisma. Now I wish I hadn't, because a Minmatar-Brutor Male face is worth a lot more than the low charisma of the ugly and comical Caldari-Achura Male.

contrary to popular belief I don't think most caldari rolled the race to min-max or to run missions in Ravens - at least I didn't, my first trial char was an Achura female, because she looked pretty (sue me) and because the Caldari background sounded good. Of course, I knew nothing about the game then, so how the flying **** was I supposed to make an educated decision?
ofc now some people do choose them to get quick access to a science alt, like some people picked Khanid simply for gunnery 5 with the RMR character creation, but I don't think that's a majority

you sir would do well for yourself in a command ship.
or any other warfare linkable ship
well i made a new character the other day and looked at the descriptions
basicly says
amarr bunch of religious people
minmatar bunch of ex slaves
gallente the only true democracy champions of freedom
caldari ruthless military efficiency
my attributes aren't perfect, somewhat wish i could change them, but oh well they do me fine.

I went with Caldari because after reading the background, I realized I wanted to be facist. Had nothing to do with the attribs.

I rolled achura because I read it was the "best" due to the low charisma, and the high other stuff... and because I fancied playing with missiles instead of lasers for a change. (kestrel is fun!) this however, is just for playing with till I get some úú to reactivate my main account
my first is an amarr industrialist type, I chose because I fancied being a religious zealot with slaves and because he looks mean. my perception is crap, but at over 11mill sp there's no point stopping now! was created a long time ago too, before I the newish char creation system. 2004 I think. (yeah, not enough sp for that amount of time... I stopped for a while)

Then again, Achura females are usually very pretty, well on par with the Deteis, and are "revered as teachers" or whatever it says in the description... so that 3 charisma really doesn't make much sense

I started about 3 weeks ago, and yes. I rolled Caldari because of 3 charisma. After doing some background checking on eve, it seemed like the only true choice, no matter what types of ships I wanted to fly, I could fully outfitted versions of them in less time with Caldari.
That being said, I'll probably fly with Caldari ships because after playing around some.. I've found missile combat an absolute joy compared to guns/lasers. I simply fits my playstyle.

 Well I wont lie.....
I didnt choose Amarr because of there "slavers" description.
Since im african american....... that went GREAT with my race choice [DEFINANTLY NOT sarcasim]
I didnt have any interest in gallente becuase of there [of french origin] no offense ment.
So it came down to mimmatar or caldari.
Im black so I was swaying to mimmatar but... after reading caldari description of MILITARY that was the sealed deal.
And for the portrait you can look at for the next decade...
Im thinking of swapping mines.
I CANT stand this one :D
even though its not the portrait that sums your char.
I choose caldari because I wanted a combat char
9 perception + the bonus= 13 perception was a OK for me :D

Actually, now that I think back on it, my choice of Caldari was because of the backstory, and then my choice of Achura specifically was due to the attributes. I was attracted to the mega-corporation/fascist element of the Caldari. I was turned off by the quasi-ancient aspects of the Amarr and the freedom-love of the Gallente. I narrowed down my choices to Caldari and Minmatar, but settled with Caldari-Achura 'cause of the attributes.

They probably do indeed, not that much point in it though, even the worst in the combat area ( hello me ) can still do pretty well for themselfs when given enough time.
I went for looks alone really. Although if I would have to make a combat alt now, it would probably be achura.

My first character was Caldari since the background sounded nice. Second and third were Minmatar and Amarr. Last was Intaki because I wanted to try out the Gallente intro missions - all on a trial account. When it was time to make the final character I was hard-pressed to decide between Amarr and Gallente because I liked their ship looks most. You see what I chose :)
Female because (don't laugh) the male Intaki looked too much like elves to me, and I was fed up with elves back then :)

I think the leadership skill is underestimated.
Had a commander with 8 mill SP in Leadership, and it was just mind blowing the bonuses we got with this guy and his gang assist modules.

in this aspect EVE is absolutely even-handed.
if you want to go for a moderate skill bonus by picking achura, you have to live until the and of your days with the boring/ugly face of your char and your oh so awesome looking caldari ships. for me, that poor appearance and lack of style doest justify any 3 charisma in the universe :D. but no offence, it seems to be acceptable to MANY other players.
some said, female achuras would look ok, maybe even quite pretty?! maybe if you like grey mice with tarry hair and unsexy clothing. some weird emo thing. if i see a achura portrait, the only thing which comes to my mind is "why is your life so unjoyful?".
female intakis still have very decent skills, fly racy ships and with 5 minutes patience of portrait creation, you get a goddess which is as good in bed as a achura in their raven.
especially with having seen transformers in cinema recently, you HAVE to love the MEGATHRON!! (although i prefer the hyperion in looks)
