Istvaan, those new technologies you suggested for the Caldari and Minmatar are not new weapons but instead new ammo. I, too, want to see new weapons but new ammo that actually do something new would still be an exciting concept. I am the Kingpin of the Crime and Punishment forum.

Let's take it even further. Let's get a tractor beam weapon that pulls your enemy closer to you or further away from you. Obviously this would not be black and white as it has to calculate mass and have small/med/large sizes so frigates can't just move battleships around on a dime, but battleships should be able to move frigates around. Obviously this can't be as fast as existing tractor beams because that would be overpowered, but being able to move a frigate at 500 m/s or something lower would be good, I think.
Oh and lets have a small, damaging Salvager weapon that attacks only your armor (and eventually, structure). I never understood why Salvager modules couldn't be used on "live" ships. It would be logical to have some kind of a module that takes apart another ship at range just like the real Salvager module would take apart a wreck.

And here folks we have two shining examples of fail posts.
Read them closely. Note how these two failures capitalized the 'i' at the beginning of the sentence, meaning they did not properly copy the post from which this series of posts originated from:
MotherMoon wrote:i want misles at move slowly but shoot lasers while they fly
Note the letter i:
MotherMoon wrote:i want misles
So please do not make the grave mistake that these two have made. Thank you.

How long was the bow and arrow used before we got a lead projectile propelled by expanding gases? How long will we use this lead projectile until propelling another type of projectile by magnectic forces becomes common place?
The examples you shown from our recent history were complentments to existing technologies, not replacements. They tech you suggest seem to be more of a replacement, than a complement to existing tech in Eve.
Edit: Improvements through innovation ( ie, balancing ) should happen far more often than the breakthroughs that seem to suggest a whole new weapon system.
I dont't think Eve would be served by this and it would only lead to more problem in balacning than we already have.
Technological advancements were much slower in the past than today when we have a bigger population meaning more scientists and more knowledge to be shared/gained, etc. By now, things would be constantly evolving as I'm sure the total human population in the EVE cluster is unimaginably huge, which means there are a ton more scientists working on a lot of things and specializing deeper into little niche areas and stuff like that.
This graph comes to mind: http://commonsenseatheism.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/darkages.gif
BTW, the reason why technological advancements were slower in the past is because more people had to be part of the hunter-gatherer groups of civilization. Nowadays we have like 1% or 2% of the population being farmers that can feed the other 98-99% with some exceptions as some people feed themselves. So in the past there were few scientists and less knowledge to be known from previous technological advancements, so technology grew extremely slow.
