Whining online...
I generally agree with Tzar'rim...
PPl, stop fa(i)lling to the FOTM trap. Don't. It's FOTM, not "Best", just fashion...
Blaster ships are fine. Blasters are the weapon of choice in many good pvp ships boats and can work in many situations rather well. So what if Gallente boats need drones to shine? Which race doesn't need them, and for how many ships/which class?
It's silly when ppl complain about HAVING options...
Just like the "Vexor is better than the Thorax" silly complains: HELLO, VEXOR IS STILL A GALLENTE cruiser and you also fit it with blasters in order to out-dps the thorax...
You claim Amarr being better...where? Cruiser wise?
The only good cruiser Amarr have is Arbitrator, a drone ship...lolz...
Ok, the Amarr have good HACs...two totally different beasts: the one is a close range tanking missile boat (pretty good but nerfed a bit after the HAM changes in QR), the other is a mid/long range pure dps laserboat...no real tackle (unless you wish to lose your range advantage), stupidly weak vs. frigates once those come close, and generally weakly tanked...
BC wise? The amarr get some decent ships too, but it's not like those wtfpwn gallente ones...and the Tier 2 BC, despite the "uber" FOTM-lazor potential, simply NEEDs drones...and even then it's not the )$!#($+( pwn machine...so again, I cannot see where do Gallente (or blasters) lack...
Again most of the pros amarr get, are balanced by their weaknesses. Amarr are slower and more cap-dependant: surely if others tackle and web for you, you will perform better in mid ranges, then again why don't you use HMLs and Caldari? Almost none hi-dps laser platform can perform exceptionally better than the Gallente blaster one. PPl tend to underestimate ships they have never flown or learn to fly correctly, simply because they read EFT numbers or which ship tops KMs in dmg...what about tackle? What about survivability when things go wrong?
-What about Minie?
+What about them?
-Don't they need drones and missiles?
+They do, and they have the capability to use them! That's why all of those cruisers are better than the Caldari or Amarr ones that don't...
All in all, the average Sub BS Amarr cannot do anything moar then DPS and maybe tank. Most good Amarr ships are highly specialized fleet-dependant boats. You need others to tackle for you, and in some occasions you can be a bait ship or a good tanker, most of the times by losing dps / range advantages. Most Gallente ships can do the same, but fitting holly trinity of tackle / cap boosters and drones for them is always an option, and requires few compromises.
The only think Gallente and blasterboats in general lack, is range...it's not that bad.
An plz do not EVER compare Gallente and Minmatar Sub BC options with amarr / caldari ones again, where only ewar cruises are worth flying in PvP...
