I don't see why they all can't field a fully T2 setup without fitting mods. Very few standard T1 ships other than some of the battleships can do this, unless they sacrifice gun size or tank somewhere. Just giving the faction ships sufficient fitting stats would elevate many of them above their standard T1 counterparts while keeping them below T2 ships in effectiveness.
However, I also think that the faction ships with the unusual bonuses (Blood Raiders, for instance) need to have these abilities boosted too, along with their fitting stats. All of the pirate faction ships should be at least a little better in their key area than Empire faction ships.
I don't think that these are particularly radical changes, and if they were implemented the people currently flying these ships wouldn't have to cross-train into new skills to fit new ship bonuses since the core bonuses would stay within their existing skill tree paradigm.

As per this thread, I'd like to see factions ships that require Amarr/Gallente or Caldari/Minmatar skill requirements.
Oh yeah, and add EOM and Mordu ships. EOM obviously are Amarr/Gallente, being Amarr hulls that use blasters. Mordu are just like whatever. Mordu's also need agents in more than one station, and EOM agents would have to be seeded. Some backstory changes may be necessary to explain why EOM would even have agents in the first place. |

There's nothing wrong with the split weapon bonuses on the Gila and Rattlesnake in principle. The Worm needs some work but the other two are fine. You can choose whether you want a blaster ship or a missile ship and more choices is always better than less in this game. Maybe give each of them +1 of both hardpoints though, just to make them that much more effective.
Gila also needs more fitting stats badly. A solid PvP setup sacrifices two lows for a grid and cpu mod.

The lack of faction shuttles disturbs me.
That is all.
There are several faction shuttles, they just all have the same stats - apparently CCP is too concerned with balance of shuttles
The Guristas Shuttle actually has fewer HPs than the others 
But to my knowledge apart from the standard shuttles only the Guristas Shuttle, Apotheosis, and Interbus Shuttle are obtainable by players even though the database lists a number of other shuttle types. |
