I wouldn't be paying too much attention to that if I were you. You will probably meet quite a few people who won't like you just because you are Caldari.

The real issue is, it will take some time before they start to see YOU rather than another Caldari (or Gallente, Minmatar, Amarr, for that matter), but such is life. Truth is, stereotypes help 'classify' people when you don't know much about them, but become useless if you get to know them better.

As for your visual style - I can speak only for myself. Those numerous piercings spoil the picture, I think. They may fit a rebellous youth from Gallente suburbs, or some Minmatar (for whom such decorations together with tattoos can be part of their culture, and do not induce this 'immature' image). Try to achieve that 'no nonsense' Caldari businessman look, and you'll be more than fine. Blink

A man is an asset in my eye.
I don't care if he's Ammarrian , Caldari, Gallantean or Matari, even Jove.
If he gets the job done quick and black.
He's the Bishop in my book.
But when the Caldarian image is down the drain.
We need a face that represents the corporation , represent our heritage.
And most definitely, you are not the one we are looking for.
Try again another time... better yet , follow her instruction and come back for a cup of .... tea.

I don't think we're ugly, I just think we usually look like we're pissed off.

However.... I can't really connect with the Caldarians .. I mean.... they don't even have a theme , they aren't fighting for anything , they are just...well.... there.

OK in your OP you seemed to be dwelling on physical appearance, which is what I responded to. I mean even the title shouts out about us being UGLY lol.

This is something entirely different.
And FYI I redid my customizations in hopes of getting entered in the best-looking avatar contest (which I missed entering before the thread was locked, by 32 minutes ) , not so I could look like a sourpuss executive. Besides, being a woman and all, I prefer smexy men to look at during my time in New Eden. Lol

You're a woman? Wow.

I really like the beard, that's very innovative. It would look even better if you grew it longer and curled it.

Ahah! Finally a fellow champion of my sentiment!

The Caldarians, especially those of the Anchurian... persuasion, have always been to me the most unpleasant of sights.

Even with these face-enchancements recently sweeping the civilised galaxy, popularity riding high upon a wave of demand from the impressionable and desperate lower classes, the specimens are still of repugnant structure.

There are some things which should never be in vogue. A finely polished monocle yes, but facial tattoos, ear studs? Good grief no!

We would also note that in the majority of cases, the tastes of an adult human, especially those related to those entities and objects that they find aesthetically pleasing, are moulded strongly during their formative years.

CCP, there are off buttons for ship explosions, missile effects, turret effects, etc. "Immersion" does not seem to be harmed by those. So, [u]please[/u] give us a persisting off button for the jump gate and autoscan visuals.

One problem, I think, is the Caldari clothing. No style at all. As if designed by an engineer, for working inside a lab or space station air duct. You take an attractive person and put them in a dweeb suit, they're going to look bad.

Caldari clothing has no problem. They are developed for functionality, they do not restrain your movements when you work or fight, and they maintain optimal temperature regime of your body (within given limits of outside temperature) with minimal weight and amount of materials used.

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.

I don't know, there's something about Caladri and Amarr men that's just so... I can't think of a word... Rugged maybe? Many Gallente can be rather... effeminate in their actions at times. And Minmattar men, well, I have nothing against them, but unfortunately just don't hugely send me.

That and Caldari have a habit of being more to the point and want a lot less work on my part, so that's easier money for me *wink*.

Anyone feeling the same?

Don't you follow EVE lore? "Aren't fighting for anything"... seriously, are you blind to what's happening around you? Likewise, more importantly, why'd you post this here?

As for your opinion on aesthetics, it is of course how you feel and I can sympathize because I think the Minmatar are "UGLY!!!" as you put it.

From my point of view, Caldarians and the Caldari State in concept are an excellent marriage of 19th century Imperial Germany and modern day corporate Japan. A wonderful blend that I find attractive and chose to be my character's heritage and patriotism. The Caldari State, the government, works almost more like a feudal system where chunks of the State are owned and governed by various mega-corporations whom act as Lords over their lands. The mutual cooperation between the mega-corps exists under unique factors that while they sustain good relations they are also fiercely competitive.

It wasn't until Tibus Heth gained popular political leverage over the mega-corps during his worker-class rights coup of Caldari Constructions, his rise to power and the Gallente Federations heinous attempts at sabotaging the State's increasing stability and rejection to being the Federation's puppet nation. The Gallenteans already have the Minmatar "Republic" as their puppet nation. The State now more than ever is unified under one banner because almost all mega-corps pledged their allegiance to the State as it's benefactors and have placed priority to that duty over their individual (the mega-corp's) needs.

Now...about that ugly, Caldari technology aesthetics is based around pure pragmatism, simplistic practicality. It is true, some of the ships are kind of unsightly but oddly, I find the frankness in design (and asymmetrics) to have an odd kind of attractiveness as the ships serve as a reminder that they we are in infinite vacuum of space where worldly physics don't play a part in design. Also, we don't have an ego to stroke like the Amarr Empire or the Gallente Federation.

Reason for Caution : Women are speaking...

On site judgment call : This is not a pleasure dome

Course of action: A) Take ISK elsewhere
B) Spend said ISK on exotic dance lessons for these girls

Sounds like something a mother would say to a child knowing they fell from the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.

I personally like Caldarian features, good job really, but I guess we can always go for cosmetic surgery to re-sculpt where needed soon™

This is my first visit to this section.. and I don't know if I'm more depressed, disappointed, or disgruntled. But something with a D, without a doubt. Roll

I think the Caldarians look fine.. I don't like how the Gallente look personally. Too.. boyish. Straight

Not quite sure how to comment, but you (we) all have your own distinct heritage to thank for our features.

When did New Eden become so narcissistic?
