  • Objection! The Caldari didnt "develop" Capsule tech. they were gifted it by the Jovian Empire.
  • You forgot to mention that Minmatar ships have a hidden 1% chance of falling apart upon undocking from a station.
  • The Avatar being phallic does make sense in lore given the Amarr are huge pricks
  • @toxicalyss
    Eve's space civillizations are very well balanced among all of their factions. The ships retain their unique doctrine but also can match their rival factions allowing many combos.

    I am quite fond of Sisters of Eve ships. The deserve a mention, at least. Also, New Eden is now a thing, the counter to Triglavians, and as such should also be in there... ;)

    Love my SoE ships, Astero and Stratios. I fly the Strat as a shield buffer and haven't lost it for over 9 moths now. The new Mutated drones help out a lot as well.
  • @justincf7127
    Thank you bud, I really wanted someone's opinion on the Triglavian ships. Considering returning and how best to have fun

    As a technique when recording voiceover, I use a dog clicker wherever I make a mistake to let me know where a retake is. The sound will spike on your audio gram and is easy to see when you are editing. Great video! Love the content!

    EVE is a game that I love with all my heart, but 3 years ago me and some friends who played together in a small corporation simply couldn't play anymore because another group much stronger and numerous, the initiative, expelled us from our system and the alliance that we were a part of didn't help us because we were mostly players who could only spend a little time online a day. after all in brazil we lost a lot of our day because of work and the commute to and from it and after 5 years of playing these 4 we spent in goonswarm we had to stop because it was more a game to be frustrated than to have fun at occasion. but I still follow the events of the game and I think it's really cool to watch some streams on twitch.

    How to choose your race in Eve - step 1: pick Caldari lol.
  • @midgetydeath
    EVE ships are quite impressive even compared to the likes of Warhammer 40K (at least, for anyone who bothers reading lore about 40K ships instead of their imaginations). But, while many things in sci-fi would still outmatch analogous EVE ships pretty frequently, nothing can rival the power of EVE fleets. Their mutual strengthening of their fellows and weakening of their enemies makes them, as militaries, among the strongest factions in science fiction. Especially when something comes along forcing the factions of New Eden to work together.

    Good video, Max! You always bring nice content and polish to the eve youtube scene. Now bring that quality by Oueletta some time... Stay Frosty!
  • @Fenris420
    When I first started playing eve, I chose Amarr simply because I wanted "frickin laser beams" lol

    Amazing content, hello from discord! Loved it! “You got yourself a new sub!” Comment for the algorithm!
  • While the Gallente Federation has a dark past at a certain point in time (i.e. the tensions, and other problems, that resulted in the Gallente-Caldari War) and flaws still persistent to this day in EVE, same with the other empires (all are grey rather than black or white in terms of morality), they're still popular as they're at least a democracy, even if flawed, with rights to the people and live how you want to live your life. They're basically the combination of all Western democratic nations on Earth. While the "righteous libertarian crusaders" does have some merit, I would think of the Gallente as a friendly, sociable, and outgoing person who's also known to be a hedonist and a nudist, but under that pleasurable persona is the same person with OCD and anger management issues that can make your life a living hell. But this doesn't compromise your relationship, or even friendship, with that person because you've been warned about the latter and been given a list by them on how to handle it. For the Minmatar Republic, the Minmatar Rebellion wasn't just overthrowing the Amarrian oppressors, although that was one of the contributing factors, but rather the unfair trial and death of Arzad Hamri: a Amarrian Holder. He was benevolent to the Minmatar slaves of Starkmanir Prime, even working with them in his past, going so far as giving them days of rest and solace, called the Hand of Solace, and other good deeds. He'd even set up education centers to naturally ingrain the Minmatar slaves into Amarr society. With his growing popularity and fame, the Theology Council saw this as a threat to their power and ordered for his trail and execution, both have succeeded. This greatly angered the slaves, so much so one of them murdered Arkon Ardishapur, an Amarrian who became Starkmanir Prime's new Holder, out of loyalty for Arzad which lit the match for the rebellion.
