Takes some work to make an Intaki males not look like a middle aged Amarr. 😔

The Gallante clothing options are garbage. How are they the most open liberal society and have the lamest clothing options of the four? I absolutely HATE those chitin(?) pants. Hideous!

All clothing, tattoos and hair style options should be open to all races. Why do Caldari even have tattoos if you’re going to limit them to the crap they have? Why are only Amarr men allowed to have long hair flowing hair?

EVE’s empires are actually taken from Krazlow’s “Heirarchy of Eebs”. The particular subgroups are:

Caldari - Weebs  
Minmatar - Dweebs  
Gallente - Feebs  
Amarr - Heebs

For more info you should read Krazlow’s works or take the online test [Finding Your Inner Eeb](https://uquiz.com/quiz/eRgIuv/are-you-a-nerd-geek-dork-or-dweeb).

Enjoy your new life as a proud Eeb!
