Every race is supposed to have an advantage.
i think you misread the box. every race has characteristics. not necesarilly advantages.
the uber in your face pwn of the gallente... that have to fit an armor tank that slows them down
minnie have capless weapons and no real dependance one one tank or another... you dont see many maelstroms attempting to nanotank
amarr are actually pretty decent all rounders. limited mids makes soloing in them awkward and they can have obscene armor tanks.
unfortunately their guns suck cap like a nana sucks eggs. as does their tank. it usually takes ship skills V weapons V all cap skills V for amarr to become the hard bastards you think they are. non t2 lasers are akin to ****ing into a nuclear reactor in terms of near pointlessness. and em/therm is the hardest resists to break unless you shield tank :D
(sorry, amarr were my first love and i didnt really start realising their potential till i hit approx 20/m in support and gunnery skills, i preferred minmatar till then)
i dont like caldari much
missiles dont miss unless you outrun them. so they dont really have to think about transversal and positioning much, they can pretty much with the right setups just rely on ubar passive tanks and decent burst dmg.. you just have to take one look at how rapidly nighthawks have gone in short supply now that w-space is around.. capless and rock solid.
CCP only really tend to nerf things when they become massively overused. the stacking penalty on weapons mods and similar items was introduced when everyone and their nana flew an armageddon with 7 heatsink 2's in low. can you say 3kdps? they pretty much could.
and then speed. speed became the ultimate tank we all trained for. because you cant hit a close orbiter going at speed with turrets. they are immune. as testament to this my corpmates and i went out to 0.0 with snaked crows and a command ship in the back. came back with all 6 25kms crows intact and alot of angry people spamming petitions about our griefing tactics.
speed, like the pwngeddon, and battleship drones in cruisers became used by everyone, if its a no brainer choice it gets nerfed so you need to think about things more.
the blackbird will probably be next once they realise how they are prevalant to the exclusion of all else, its how it goes.
besides, ive seen some sick as fudge minnie ships rolling round lately, really testing my abilities to yarr. maybe your just failing to adapt?
every race is supposed to have an advantage... so where is amarrs beyond being the rock thats never primaried. where is caldaris ability to solo without nerfing tank. where is gallentes ability to not be rather homosexual?
i like minnis, but speed became godmode. hence the nerf.
ive seen alot of nasty nasty hurricane setups. think outside the box and use your noodle and some duck tape :D
