I remember why. The main reason was that ships used shields has main defense, follow by missiles weapons. I didn't know back then you could cross train Blink

Why do conservatives play Minmatar? Conservatives are all racist, right?

Terryn,

If you mean working hard and being rewarded for your accomplishments of where you came from orvwhat up bringing, then I absolutely agree with you :D

Honestly? It's because none of the Eve factions are a patriarchy. The Minmatar come closest with their tribal-esque society and politics, hence why some neo-con-fundie-traditional-judeo-christian-muslim-shiara-caste-polygamist peoples favor Minmatar despite the fact that Jesus/Moses/Mohammed/Buddha were all tall, pasty white Aryan blondes.

To me, it just seems really really odd that somebody would choose to play a character from a society that's basically diametrically opposed to their own political beliefs.

I apologize sincerely for this post.


The answer is the same as why peoples characters don't always reflect their race, age or even gender. These are our characters not ourselves, and this is especially true for those of us who have multiple characters and don't want them all to be the same.

I thought a friendly Gallente youth would be a fun character in this rather dark universe, but have a very wide variety of characters from other games, some who are very politically opposed to me. I feel that having a friendly character on Eve goes against the "everyone for themselves" backstabbing reputation that Eve has and I do like to go against the grain. Most of my truly psychotic genocidal characters are reserved for non-online games though, for logistic reasons.
