A) The main boost for the amarr was against armor tankers, as they had their EM resists reduced. Get your facts straight.
B)Ravens most certainly were overpowered in PVE, but that's not why they nerfed them. Had those missiles remained unnerfed the caldari would have been ownmobiles in any pvp engagement, because they'd be hitting for damn near full damage on HACs and other such ships. When they slowed all the fast pvp ships down (so everything that's NOT caldari got nerfed) they had to nerf the trackingless caldari weapons to compensate for that.
C)Wow, just wow. The minmatar and amarr have one battleship each that can field a flight of heavies, and in the case of the amarr you probably shouldn't because heavies are worse then mediums at dealing with small ships. As for the gallente, the only ship that get a full set of heavies while fielding lights as well is a drone-dedicated ship. Complaining that drones got nerfed on anything else is like saying the geddon and mega got nerfed because of the changes to missiles.
D)Caldari are not eve's only PVE race. If statistics indicate anything else, then that just proves that the caldari were OP and needed a nerf anyway. That being said, all races run missions, and if caldari LP are becoming worthless then you've no one to blame but yourselves. Too many caldari players = too many people getting caldari LP. Like everything in eve it's a free market and CCP should not be putting artificial limits on how much LP is worth.
E)If one specific bloodline of one specific race is so much better that the majority of combat alts end up being said race, you'd have to be stupid not to think that's OP. Because the skills you train have nothing to do with the race you pick, people are damn near always going to go with the character that will learn fastest, and one race being better then all the others at that is a bad idea.
You wanna talk nerfs? Go look at the gallente. In the last 2 years they've taken heavy hits to drones, to blasters, to sensor damps, to nos, and even to railguns (let's not forget that the introduction of the rokh was a huge hit to the gallente sniping abilities, as the rokh can outperform it in nearly every way). There isn't a single thing that gallente do that hasn't been nerfed. Caldari get nerfed ONCE (and that's the missile nerf, attribute respeccing has nothing to do with the ships and the main amarr boost was the removal of nano, which does not affect caldari, and the reduction in armor em resists, which does not affect caldari) and they act like eve is out to get them  |
