Hi all !
After reading this and carefully considering this, I mostly disagree. As a pretty new player to EvE (one year) The on most exiting things in this game has been the balance. And I do not speak about how a drake newer looses to a hurricane, or how the rifter just kicks ass in the frigate classes, but of the complete full balance. Every race has their own ships that are good. Minmatar have their rifter, jaguar, vagabond and hurricane. Gallente have Ishkur, Ishtar and dominix. Caldari have their own, and so does amarr. But the races as complete are wery good in balance.
I do agree, that the damage of blasters could be a bit sturdier, rails should be even more sturdy (double the RoF, take 25% of volley ?) and rockets just sucks. And the AB bonus to gallente is something I really do not like. If gallente had that, they would be wery overpowered with those ships. Lets take an example.
Your megathron with ab bonus flies towards my tempest with 700m/s. There is no way I can slow it down, but with web, and that means I haveto stay inside 10km. If I want to outrun you, I need to burn cap with my MWD, and still just barely outrun you, except if you have fitted the web. And when the speeds are about the same, you would have a edge in agility against my MWD + you would have a ton of cap to spare compared to me, where my cap burns as hell with MWD.
And I cant help myself to not compare your post and proposed changes to current minmatar. We had some love, but hey, it was about the time to. And even now, we have wery limited possibilities to tank deacently anything, we don't do the most damage but the thing we are good at is outrunning everybody. And you would like to take it away from us? Besides that, we minmatar pilots, haveto train "double skills" to be even close the ship compared to all the rest races due to the both shield and armor ships thinking. It is a good thing to have possibility to fit either armor, or shield, but the skilltraining (specially as a new pilot) sucks bad.
All in all, you had some good points, but if all that you suggested would be done, I wouldn't bother to try to fight a gallente ship without 3to1 ratio of similar ships.
