1, they look the best when you roll them, from a RP (awesome bounty hunter!) perspective, before you learn that it realy dosen't work like that.
2 The Gallente, they are the enemy of the Caldari, their mortal enemy. They are French. This is something bad to be honest, as long as Brits play the game they will RP the future enemies of the French - petty but that was part of the reason I went Caldari.
This is just going up as my view and not to derail another thread on a similar topic. Thankyou.

And here i thought it was a combination of being the first option(always listed first if memory serves) and being capitalists (be caldari and get rich!)

i am NOT FRENCH!!!
Nor were my ancestors! They paid their way onboard one of the colonisation ships and eventually did settle in Gallente territory that part is true, but according to my families personal records we came from a small country called the Netherlands.

well i originally rolled caldari because they were supposed to be good industrialists, and their attribute layouts reflected it pretty well too. for the most part i am pleased with my decision.

Everyone will re-roll Gallente once Ambulation gets released and they discover that those transparent-plastic outfits really are transparent, and really extend below what you can see in the current portrait window. And only the Gallente women wear them

The Gallente are not French. They are descended from from some French people. It's been probably thousands of years since the Gallente considered themselves "French" and I'm sure there has been at least some interbreeding in that time.
As far as I know, the English are mainly descended from Vikings (with some Celtic ancestry too, I'm sure). Does that mean English = Vikings?
I'm sorry the whole Gallente = French = lol thing gets on my nerves after a while.

Achura also arguably have the best starting attribute set. The ability to have very high intelligence and very high perception means newbies can train learning, support, and ship skills quickly.

Reasons why your wrong:
1/ Caldari are blatantly the americans of Eve.
AND
2/ The Americans are historically allies of the French.
Therefore the whole Brits + RP + French thing is wrong.
They don;t necessarily look the coolest, Minmatar + Amarr Females look pretty merciless tbh...

I originally rolled Caldari because the few player guides available at the time had Civire listed for the "example" race, with the skill choices and attributes mapped out so you'd get a good amount of starting SP and fairly good combat attributes. I didn't want to screw up so I just went with the example.
Obviously, this was possible with other races... but there you go.

#1 is correct. I chose Caldari because they are capitalist and sounded like good old America where I'm from. They also looked the least "out there" with weird hairstyles and stuff.
#2 is wrong. It is a well known fact that the French, especially Parisians are ungrateful snobs. All Americans know this and dislike the French. Basically people see "French" and are immediately turned off by Gallente, however I love their ships and only fly them.

Erm..if you read the backstory, Caldari are hardcore authoritarian corporatists...Didn't see anything there that made 'em look American to me.
Gallente are the most similar to America/most of the Western nations

Well done.
Both a gross oversimplification of Parisian people and a blatant, and frankly ridiculous, generalisation as to the thoughts of "All americans"

I highly considered rolling one, but their avatars are fugly and their attributes reflect that as well with very low charisma.

If you disagree with me and want to prove me wrong why not actually try instead of spouting trivial comments.
*********
Granted Kahega,
Well I see the Caldari as uber capitalistic, which I see as quite similar to American culture. I see a very military orientated culture, which I see as quite similar to American culture.
Perhaps it is my first impression of the game jumping in here but they are also the only race which appears, at face value, to be a super power.
That is the way I see it. It's not exactly clear cut who is who but to me the Caldari as the least ambiguous of the races.

Actually #1 is wrong. The Caldari are blatantly a mixture of Russian and Asian cultures. Look at the names of their solar systems, how they look, and their ship designs! The ships are pure military, the solarsystem names are generally either Chinese sounding or Russian sounding, and their appearance is EASILY 'Standard Russian' save for the Bloodlines race which is blatant oriental (like all other bloodlines XD )
And you're wrong about #1 for another reason. American's aren't capitalistic. At least not like the Caldari are. Americans rely heavily on capitalism, yes, but it doesn't control anything. The ruling government body does. The Caldari State is a Capitalistic State. Totalarian Government. Like Communism (Russia and China. The two most easily recognizable race bases in the Caldari). Nothing like America is right now.
#2 is bull****, too. The french aren't ungrateful snobs. They just can't fight worth a ****. They got soft because of their culture. They're well known for being some of the most artistic people in the world, along with some of the best with food, wines, other spirits, and entertainment. The Gallente in EvE may be of French origin, but obviously they've reverted to what I like to call "Napoleanism". In other words. They can bloody well fight.
