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 not saying there is no reason to support the Gallente, but I'm a little curious. Well to be fair as we were talking about yesterday a large part of Dusts player base is American so we can see why they would sympathise with the Gallentean and Matari ideals. Exactly

I would love to see the amarrian faction do a backflip on slavery and become more about enlightenment and religion, atleast then it would be only half as abhorrent in the eyes of the average scifi loving gamer :D I would quit Dust if this happened. There is nothing in the lore to believe such a reform is even a remote possibility, but to do it anyways simply because a few fans have a problem with them would be ridiculous. Also you say Amarr isn't popular, yet I always see them everywhere in the warbarge and in game, plus at the Intergalactic Summit here I see tons of Amarr on these forums.

My assessment that they aren't popular is based on my experience with the faction in Eve not dust, I don't care if the lore makes it hard for the faction to change and I certainly don't care if you quit, the problem with the Amarr faction is it provides an outlet for RL racists to waffle on about owning slaves and praise space jesus. |

Dayummm then you haven't met many of the Amarr FWer then...or atleast recently. PIE and CVA...which kind of are the Amarrian war machine are actually an awesome group of people.
I can see what you are saying but I don't think that's true.... if anything the space racists end up as pirates.... and they are just assholes anyway. |

I did not chose to support the Amarr Empire. The Empress was chosen by God to be the vessel of his voice. My armor is the vessel of his might, and with it, it gives me strength. As long as I believe in the faith that was bestowed upon me, I shall be immortal. Thus anyone who stands in the way of the Empress and her will, shall die by my hands. |

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? Because that which is Holy is meant to be served by those of us with righteous fury in our hearts. We seek peace, but understand it cannot be found in this life, thus... death is our ally. Immortal, death is out of my reach, and am lost. I seek redemption by sending those less worthy to be judged. One day, perhaps, I will earn my Judgement as well. |

Minmatar because they're fighting those religious zombies (Amarr) to keep their freedom, I don't care about how their ships look like. It's actually quite surprising that anyone could make ships out of rusted parts, and duct tape. |

Why do you assume the Amarr are zombies... just asking. I know the Amarr are religious but religion doesn't imply manipulations or coercion of the people too believe. They just do. |

A whole empire fought for by people that have believed since the start of their empire that everything they do ( enslaving entire civilizations, forcing people to convert to their religion) is their gods will, and every order that their empress gives was given by their god. You're right they aren't zombies they are actually slaves to their Empress just without the chains. This belief that they have in their Empress and their god will let the Empress do anything that she wants with them. |

Not true the don't do what they do simply because she tells them to, they do it because they believe her to be the embodiment of his will, and therefore what she says is the right path.
Nor does an emperor consider his or herself the sole controller of the Empire, they are as subject to God's will as any member of the Empire. |

I actually like the look quite a bit, but I'm far more intrigued by the Amarr. |

In the end we're just mercenaries, no nation, no philosophy, no ideology, we go where we're needed, fighting not for Government but for money, keeping the individual beliefs you have at bay.
Holding on to your faction and being loyal to it may hinder you from making money.

I don't need money. I have more than enough to last five lifetimes in New Eden. All I care about is the satisfaction of getting the job done. |
