We have will, but we fight empires with similarly strong wills. It is a true test of faith.
However when facing men and women with no sense of unity or purpose they shall be utterly defeated, for they have lost all sense of being.
What I said I meant in a more general sense. ... hm. I apologize, templar. Please forgive my arrogance. Speaking only for myself, war has been a matter more of awareness and of calculation than of faith: a clear mind and a calm heart. Yet ... maintaining these, being able to think clearly under pressure, being able to shake off shock, and doubt, and calmly step through an uplink knowing that it is going to feel as though your nervous system were being microwaved? It is true: faith does have something to do with it. Again I think I am explaining myself poorly. Faith and Determination are two very different things.
I may be faithful but nor determined and in battle I shall fall before my foes.
You ideals are what I would consider determination and will power. |

The one communicating poorly is me, templar. I meant faith as you did when you said that this war will be a test of faith-- broadly.
However, it also seems as though the other sort of faith has something to do with those broader qualities. It might be a source of inspiration and guidance, even if the gods do not intercede on our behalf. |

The implants she uses are holy relics passed down through the emperor families, they do not make one immortal, the merely extend the natural life of the one who they are implanted into. |

I generally avoid gallente/caldari drama, but the caldari had no reason to develope weapons in secrecy from the federation. |

They were mainly colonies that required weapons systems in order to be safe during the colonisation process. Such was our right, the Federation needed not intercede on developments that were not their business. |

Any man with some connections can get his civilian weapon to military strength, so just making military grade weapons is illegal?
Interesting legal system my friend... |

What would've changed had the rest of the federation known about those colonies. There was no need to hide the development and stockpiling of those weapons. |

It wasn't just any government that they were hiding from, but one they chose to be a part of.
That's not the problem, it's that it was done with the intention of the rest of the federation not knowing about it. |

Then they would confiscate the weapons, as "civilians don't need that kind of firepower" and considering the danger of. The frontier, thn the research stations would be defenseless to roaming pirates and illegal slavers. |

All this talk of the original colonies....
Your ancestors all had their reasons. The war lasted for decades; there was a reason for that.
Historical rights and wrongs aside, it comes to this:
The Caldari believe in defending the rights of the many, and are ruled by the meritorious few. The Gallente believe in defending the rights of the one, and are ruled by the will of the many.
Each path is functional. Each has its faults. People can and do live happily in either society.
Do any of you, on either side, actually doubt your opponents' sincerity?
Demonize one another if you must, but, respectfully to all concerned, it takes the greater courage to look your foe in the eye, and recognize that she is human as you are, and that had you met in another context you might even have been friends ... and then shoot her between the eyes.
There is a war on. We probably will not end it here.
Let's get on with it. |

Like during the Gallente-Caldari war that lasted a hundred years?And I'm not sure why a Caldari corporation would side with the Gallente, at best they have done some businesses with Intaki colonies, far from an alliance.
To be fair to the Federal patriot, Mr. Kalamari, Ishukone was apparently instrumental in establishing the Caldari Prime demilitarized zone. That agreement was apparently reached behind Tibus Heth's back.
Of course, it was far from alone. SuVee also participated extensively, and only Lai Dai and Heth's Kaalakiota refused to sign the agreement. So, perhaps it is not such a rebellion as all that-- rather a bit of shrewd political navigation. |

That depends, really. Doesn't everything?
If you are the sort of sniper who takes care to cover null cannon control consoles, relay relevant tactical information to teammates, and weaken strong targets so that your squad can dispatch them, all without any special regard to your own kill count, I'd say you are (or at least have the makings of) a good sniper.
If you are the sort who fires randomly at whatever hostiles happen to be in your crosshairs at the moment, relays no data, and ignores the tactical conditions on the field, I would say you are a good person to have fighting on the other side. |
