Im not trying to **** on their parade you over reacting toss bag, what i am doing is pointing out that they will turn ppl off role play before it even starts if they RP at ppl in a general forum.

Gallente feels American and im American sooooo :P plus I think they seem more heroic than others and I like being a good guy

How so? Caldari seems more american than the others if you want to go that way
Breaking free from a larger empire, having said empire respond with force, defeating said empire and establishing their homeland once again

I mean the 4th of July was even a few days ago, how can you not draw parallels between Caldari and American history
Even our rampant capitalism with corporations holding sway matches and the whole work hard and establish yourself based on merit is just a repacking of the American Dream spiel

Except I wasn't RPing there, I was merely pointing out my thoughts and reasoning behind why I support the Amarr.

EDIT: Though I suppose when I'm switching back and forth from IC and OOC they can begin to blur a bit. However, it is a bit ridiculous to suggest that the only way to support the Amarrs ideology is through pretending in role-play.

Minmatar sucks and amarr stuff just looks godly

So I always wondered why the player base of this game supports the factions they do.

If anyone has ever seen my posts they will know I'm an Amarr Loyalist, and preach the word where and whenever I can to those unenlightened amongst you, also I'm a bit of a Caldari Fan as well, an have two toons that are both Caldari Loyalists as well, on training for scout suits, and the other hopefull going to run into Heavy or Commando.

Either way my question to you guys is if you have a preferred Faction in Dust/EVE/ New Eden what is it and why do you support it?

fixed

Caldari is ran by a corporate semi-communist government.. we are not quite there yet

Caldari, and more so Ishukone. The idea of a Corporate State is fascinating to me, and Ishukone because they are the least evil (not saying they are all happy roses by any means) of the Big Eight.
It's a good day to be Caldari too, that idiot Heth is out of office for good :)

The Gallenteans. Self-righteous, meddling, pompous and tiresome, or virile liberalists and defenders of the free world. Love them or hate them, you simply can't ignore them. Everybody has an opinion on the Gallente Federation, it all depends from which side of the table you view them. For many, it is the Promised Land, where any dream can become a reality. Descendants of Tau Ceti Frenchmen, the Gallenteans remain strong believers in free will and human rights, despite numerous setbacks in their long history.

It has been said that, once you have seen the Crystal Boulevard in Caille you've seen it all. True, the view is spectacular, but if there's one thing you can never see in its entirety, that is the Gallente Federation. You may travel its length and breadth, marvel at the Sunspiral on Troux, climb the Akat Mountains on tropical Intaki or thrill to the Mendre dancers on Sovicou. Wherever you go, you will always see something new and exciting, even when you visit the same place again. Gallente society is in a constant state of flux, vigorous, vibrant and progressive.





A Senator debates some issues in the Federal Senate.

Few societies display such stark contrasts. Many of the wealthiest people in the world are Gallenteans, creating a constant demand for luxury goods. At the same time, the ranks of the poor number millions, because while the liberal market-driven economy and individual freedom may allow everybody the chance to advance to the top, they make it just as easy to plummet to the very bottom of the social ladder.

In the world of EVE, the Gallentean are the kings of entertainment, mass-producing everything from cheap ****-flicks to elaborate stage-shows for an ever-hungry public. They boast the most elaborate luxury space yachts, and the most glittering hotel reservoirs. Anything your mind or body could ever crave, the Gallenteans have plenty of it.

The Gallenteans are not alone in their Federation, whose boundaries are home to pockets of residents, varying in size and representing all the other races of EVE, most of whom left their own empires due to political or ideological differences, or simply in search of peace and prosperity. In addition to these there are two human races, the Intakis and the Mannars, both of whom the Gallenteans found while exploring and expanding their empire. Both were at a very primitive level when the Gallenteans found them, but since coming under the protection and guidance of the Gallenteans, both races have flourished and are today a full-fledged members of the Federation.

The Caldari were initially part of the Federation but deep-seated differences and mutual animosity between them and the Gallenteans drove them out to found their own empire. For a time, the two empires warred against each other, but as neither could gain sufficient advantage to claim victory, peace was settled in the end.



TLDR: they are the equivalent of America in a way and i am a proud american most days

Sounds like the British Empire to me

So, the majority chose Gallente because -- 'Fleeeeeeeedooooooommmm'? Somewhat expected yet sad

Book of DEI

I am supported by my Faith and my hatred for for Minmatar SCUM

Sounds like the British Empire to me

Really?

I support Amarr because they are the only faction that has a clear cut purpose in life. Their goal is to conquer all of the stars to unite humanity in faith and peace. The other factions on the other hand don't really come off as having a greater purpose, they exist merely to survive.

Also all our ships, armor, gadgets, and weaponry look like pure class and for a science fiction game its a bit surprising they are the only ones to use lasers.







I'm curious, all you who picked Gallente for freedom - did you actually research how their democracy works and events which transpired in the Federation, or simply saw the in-game description of "the only true democracy in New Eden" and went with it? I'm not saying there is no reason to support the Gallente, but again I'm curious.

I went im for the first statement, stayed.for the researched materials, and rejoiced.at our superior torture methods.

Amarr only win for showmanship, their methods look as painful as they are, I disagree about caldari though

Gallente because, well... **** capitalists and religious nut jobs (not particularly eloquent but hey)
