Caldari. Minmatar. Amarr. Gallente. Over the last year, you've voted on the coolest faction slogan, you've flown your colours with faction propaganda, you've written fantastic faction fan-fiction, and you've pondered which would be the best empire to live in IRL. And yet we never asked you the most simple faction question of them all: which is the best?
To win a prize, simply make your case with video or text for which is the best faction. Be it their ships, their philosophy, their lore, or something else entirely, the reasons you use to justify your choice with are completely up to you. There's no formal minimal word count, but we're expecting at least a few sentences.
While the Guristas and Angels are now playable in Faction Warfare, we're not including them among the big four for this reward.
Alex will be away on leave from 9-23 December, so please tag Rich with any questions during those dates. Thank you to Hunter whose suggest-a-reward idea inspired this reward.

I'm not a gamer who gets too attached to the lore of games, but the story of the Minmatar's pain and suffering manages to hook me. Especially as they are a people who have been enslaved for over 700 years, I believe they carry with them the idea of revolt and the fight for freedom, as well as the whole factor involving honor. In short, that's what captivated me and made me choose them. Apart from their ships, to say the least... Different (And with a lot of rust) haha

This question is just like asking "Who is the best super-hero?" in a comic book store - you just can1t ask it.
That said, definitely Minmatar - not only because they're a Republic, but because of their values and history.
They may not be the most technologically advanced faction, and their ships sometimes look like space junk, but they have the most adaptable kit available, giving players a wide range of options. I don’t care about advanced technology, corporations, or the idea of being ruled by an Empire. The underground, rebellious spirit of the Minmatar was one of the main reasons I chose them when I started playing EVE Online.

I am a Caldari Fanboi.
It's not about which we own Jita, this my friends is another story. We hold our beliefs in Shields rather than Armor or , thank god,also no Hull. Our Missile reaches further and if this is not enough we have railguns. In an alternative fiction universe we would be the superior class, but here in New Eden we are limited to physical rules.
Over the past years we hold the place for the number #1 Mission Runner in Faction Warfare. There is always something mighty if you say the name of the Ship. Golem - Marauder Class Battleship. But there is nothing which could harm the Gallente Ishtar in Nullsec ratting, for now.
With the Equinox Expansion rising, Caldariy fully committed to use this as their shrine. With Honor to the Family Caldari will stay strong and shine like the sun in the darkest times.
Also we are the ones which use ECM Jammers, so we can have your full focus :P
Two of the best cruisers have Caldari DNA. Orthrus as the ultimate frigate destroyer & Gila has the powerhouse which can run anykind of PVE Events.

In my opinion the best faction is Caldari.
When you choose caldari you spawn next to the biggest trade hub in the game; Jita. You can very easily (of course if you have already made enough isk) buy almost everything as cheap as it can be.
For me they look the coolest, i like their vibe of being "imperial' one.
I love (even if it is not practical one) the concect of tanking everything on the shields, not in the armor
I love the way that missiles work( in which caldari specializes the most), shot and forgot! They always hit ( of course you have to remember about some factors!).
Drake (Caldari battlecruiser).

While I can pilot many ships, Minmatar remains my favorite faction. The signature speed tank is the real deal, backed by devastating artillery alpha, the sweet ta-ta-ta of autocannons, and of course—space rust!
Their COSMOS storyline is the most dramatic, even their station designs have character.
Oh, and...

Despite being Caldari by origin, I call Minmatar sspace as my home.
