Originally by: Antioch Red All minmatar weapons are used in falloff. Please play the game a little more widely before using blanket comments.
So given a choice where there is no tactical distinction between fighting in falloff and closing the range to fight at optimal, most Minmatar prefer to fight in falloff?
Projectile weps are arguably more effective when fighting in falloff than hybrids, but that's not the same as saying most pilots would choose to fight in falloff vs fighting in optimal.
Please PM me your thinking as I am very interested in your response, but don't want to hijack this thread.

I lol'd at this!!
Minny pilots fight in falloff for a reason - we have utterly pathetic tanks compared to other ships so rely on our speed to keep out of scram/web/neut/nos or whatever else range whilst still dealing half our actual DPS. That's when we get lucky!! Usually we dish out 1/4 of our actual DPS due to misses & all other bizarre thing that happen in the midst of a scrap!
Now look at the way the other 3 race recons have to fit.. we all trade part our our ability to tackle for a paltry tank.. Falcons don't! They fit as many mods as possible & sit @ 200km jamming everything with little to no fear.
Any change that pulls them into the midst of things is good - and those one dimensional, "i fit it one way only" people are in for a shock!
And before people start *****ing about damage, most recons lose high slots straight away.. Cloak & cyno (3 if you're fitting a cov-cyno as well) which leaves space for either 2 or 3 guns / missiles!
And (there's alot of &'s in this! ) guess what, recons are usually primaried & blown to kingdom come the minute we un-cloak.. Rapiers probably top of the list (falcons would be tied up there if they were actually in the midst of things), but falcons still have the upper hand.. they can still jam and gtfo of dodge - the 3 others can't.
Obviously, this is more true in small to mid size engagements.. Large fleet fights just get messy & everyone gets shot at 
**fake edit** I'm in EMO mode today.. Damn sunday drivers (or saturday ones) doing 30 in a 60!! GRRRRR  ______________________________________
