It took me a few days to read this entire thread, but I just finished and I have to say...
I'm not surprised.
Lets just face it, every game needs a race/class/___ that sucks at what it is supposedly good at. I've only been playing for about a year total. 6 months about two years ago, strictly Amarr... Got bored being unable to do anything but rat Sanshas. Came back a few months ago and tried again. So far I hate to say but my Arbitrator is indeed the only tech 1 Amarr ship I've played with that's useful in any way... And I use artillery on it. *sob*
I have to say I personally agree with some of whats said on Amarr ships, and disagree on the rest. I apologize in advance for no numbers;
Explosive crystals. No. Just no. More thermal damage? Please? If Gallente is Drone, then Blaster, why is it they can tank better and their blasters do kinetic damage primarily? Make EM Drones not suck. Someone said here a while ago that EM drones were the sturdiest of the light drones, and actually that goes to thermal drones. They're pretty low on the damaging aspect as well. Less fitting costs on frigate/cruiser lasers. Yes. I played around with an Omen and a Maller while I was still flying cruisers, and I had to sacrifice my tank just to get them to do decent DPS. Other than the Arbitrator make, the Khanid ships are... Sucky. Nothing needs to be said here, its already been said.
I'm not saying the other races don't need nerfs/boosts as well, but after all this time and I'm sitting here, staring at a 'geddon that I'll be piloting for the first time in five days I ask myself; Why even bother? I should just get a Raven and train for a month in missiles. =/ I thought missiles were nerfed, thats what everyone tells me, and yet they can pretty much do anything you want them to. Especially if you have access to the Tech2 varients.
Ya know? Maybe I will use that 'geddon. I'll use all the low slots on shield regen equipment that will kill my cap, then fit my midslots with shield tanking stuff, and my highslots will be Nos and something other than lasers. I don't see any Caldari ships using autocannons or Gallente ships using artillery. Might be nice.
So should we give up hope? Maybe. Even CCP has admitted that if we use other ships we'll have more fun.
