I think the majority of English speaking countries will relate better to being Caldari because of the whole capitalism thing.
Not sure if there is any race in real life that is enslaved by religious superpower tho. |

My guess is that people chose it because it's the default race, and they don't trust in rust. |

Much of the developing world was formerly in slavery, had their cultural identity erased, and had a religion forced on them. Not quite the same as the Amarr Minmatar conflict, but many countries like my homeland Haiti have experienced similar situation without the theocracy. |

Interestingly you are also a Minmatar, could that be the reason you picked Minmatar? |

I have chosen the Caldari race because of their preference toward shields as opposed to the weaker armor Gallente uses. I will continue to be Caldari until death, or when harm forces me to quit supporting this race. Canine. |

Since their escape from the Amarrians, they have been getting better and better resources, and arguably richer. This is visible in their use of better metal plates on their more recent spaceships. |

Yes I remember when minmatar ships were made of plywood, duct tape, silver spray paint, and ran on propane tanks from home depot. |

Not quite. We're talking about people just randomly getting enslaved by religious zealots- not a religion getting enslaved by random people. |

I can appreciate the role playing here.
I went Caldari because they were the closest to what I could relate with. Plus, my pilot was Caldari so I figured I'd make his nut-job brother.
EVElopedia wrote:Founded on the tenets of patriotism and hard work that carried its ancestors through hardships on an inhospitable homeworld, the Caldari State is today a corporate dictatorship, led by rulers who are determined to see it return to the meritocratic ideals of old. Ruthless and efficient in the boardroom as well as on the battlefield, the Caldari are living emblems of strength, persistence, and dignity.

I did initially pick Minmatar because I relate to them, and I consider myself a Minmatar immigrant to the Gallente Federation. I can relate to the Gallente on an ideological level.
I couldn't decide between Minmatar and Gallente, I picked Minmatar because I'm hoping one day we'll have some facial customization and I wanted some cool dreadlocks and tattoos.
When we got racial merc quarters, i found the Minmatar one pretty crappy, so I started using a Gallente as my main playing character instead just because of beautiful merc quarters.
I don't even play on this character anymore, the only reason I haven't deleted is is because of how many threads I have favorited on the forums, and all these likes look pretty. |

I like the collective > individual and the "function > form" thing that goes on with the Caldari, even tough i dispise the free for all market that goes on with the major power blocks (Kakkaliota and Ishukone are ok tough). Reminds me of Japanese Shogunate (Raata Empire) with a mix of Thir Reich (Caldari first, individual second), and the tycoon industrial entrepeneurship powerhorse of the US (With the good and the bad). And all of those had strong military to support their group,
In eve, i-¦m an Achura.
"Achura has been part of the Caldari State for three centuries, and yet their culture has always remained something of a mystery. Originally from the Saisio system, they are reclusive and introverted, and show little interest in the ephemeral phenomena of the material world. Intensely spiritual, Achur pilots have only recently taken to the stars, driven in large part by a desire to unlock the secrets of the universe.
The Achur homeworld is Saisio III, simply referred to as 'Achura'."
The Shinto / Budhism / Taoism that goes on with them is much like my personal view of the world, and it gives a lot og good RP material to have immortality to contemplate on the notion of "self" when our bodies are mere vessels.
Caldari do what they must, i like that.
In Dust, i chose Minmatar because i think they have a great thing going on, but it-¦s under the radar compared to the other 3. The independent nature and yet, deeply rooted on their tribes, the praticality and adaptability makes me think that they have much more in common as a complement to the Caldari than they currently are.
With the power of cohesion and purpose of the Caldari, and the adaptability and passion of the Minmatar, they would make a kick-kitten partership.
Plus, as i-¦ve been writing lately, both had something taken from them by a more powerful force, and i don-¦t think there is a Minmatar that doesn-¦t relate to the fall of Caldari Prime to the Gallente.
People tend to see all the races in black and white binary 2-dimensional ways, and i think it-¦s a dispretsige to the rich lore and the excellent team behind it to reduce Ammar to religious biggots, Gallente shiny white knights of freedom and liberty, Minmatar to duct-tape freed-slaves and the Caldari to Tyranical insensitive greedy bastards.
They are all that, of course, but they-¦re much, much more than this.
Anyway, thats why i chose them.
