... A Buff with Purposes of, but not Limited to, The Correction of In-game Mechanics Pertaining to the Factional Ships and Skills of The Groups Colloquially Known as "Gallente" and "Caldari".
Having Whiled Away what could have Otherwise been Productive Hours in the Thrall of This Delightful Program, I Believe I have Come to Understand the Form and Function of the Extremely Complicated Underpinnings of EVE Online. I have Gazed upon the Divine Majesty of Amarrian Battleships, Done Battle with the Unsubtle Perversions of Sansha's Foul Nation, and Struck Mighty Blows Against the Hulls of my Opponents in the Void.
In my Travels I have Seen Unimaginable Horizons that Stretched to Eternity, Beheld Warped Shards of Unreality Pour from the EVE Gate, and Felt the Hungry Stare of the very Void I Looked Into Look Back Into me.
Through all of The Travails and Trails of These past Two years, I Have Scented Injustice Permeating the Fabric of this Avocation. Here, However, There Shall be a new Dawn for Caldari and Gallente!
I Extend my Heartfelt Invitation to Any and All who Feel that Their Exercise of Sovereign Franchise Could Solve The Problems of Gameplay Facing Gallenteans and Caldari, Upon the Conditions that;
Contributors Apply Numerical Proofs to their Claims, Utilizing Higher-Level Thought and Unabridged Logic in Their Quest for Truth;
That Any and All "Flames" Be Directed Politely;
That, if Possible, All Donors of Wisdom Convey Their Meaning in Dense and Turgid Prose
It is my Heartfelt Belief that Through the Application of Mathematical Logic and Scientific Principle, A True and Unabridged Report Concerning the State of Play for Gallenteans and Caldari can be Written and Fully Endorsed by CCP CCP. Hear my prayer from atop your bone strewn tower! Boost Gallente, for they have become free kills in todays fleet warfare due to poor range, ineffective webs, and terrible speed! |

One would peruse clarification as for the need for the corrections mentioned in the first paragraph.
The mention of factional ships is unclear in it's intention of directing us towards such vessels as are designed by the navy or does it also include the designs submitted by Ishukone and other private entities contained within the aforementioned colloquial groups?
The mention of faction skills is similarly disingenuous as it implies that skills pertaining to one faction are unbalanced in relation to the others. I find this assertion hard to believe as the specific racial skills are on a level commensurate with each other and skills that are devoid of a genealogical preference for specific ship designers are relevant to all players who may have an interest in that skill.
With kind regards and looking forwards to your assuredly non superfluous reply. Yani _______

Look at your post. Now back to mine. Now back at your post. Now back to mine. Sadly it isn't my post, but if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate posts, it could look like mine. Look down. Back up. Where are you? You're scrolling through posts, writing the post your post could look like. What did you post? Back at mine, it's a reply saying something you want to hear. Look again, the reply is diamonds. Anything is possible when you think before you post. I'm on a horse. ---

While following your instructions to "Look at your post. Now back to mine." I was struck by the similitude vis a vis your posts and a viral pattern of internet posting made popular by the cheezburger and 4chan websites.
Aforementioned viral posts (which I shall henceforth refer to as memes) are considered to be the base level of intelligence for a subdivision of internet posters that are known as trolls. The repetition of phrases such as, "look at your xxxx, now back to xxxx" does in many cases require only a minimal level of intelligence to utilize.
By contrast the subtlety of trolling in the OP required a degree of originality and as such may inspire some thought on the part of those who wish to respond in a manner pursuant with the delineations prescribed by Tyrone Bighams.
In case you find long words hard to understand I shall translate that in to meme speak for you - This thread has potential. _______

Your begging at the door of my pardon has been noted, it is perhaps unfortunate however that I hate beggars.
I am in complete agreement towards your assertion that "this [is] already [a] quite tasteless and senseless thread" and as such would encourage members of the wider New Eden community to participate, if only for the morbid fascination of watching often intelligent individuals make an ass of themselves on a public forum.
We have however meandered from the inquiry outlined by the initiating person among this discussion. Thus I submit the proposition that the only major problems suffered by starships manufactured to the specifications of the imaginary internet genus "Caldari" and "Gallente" are related to the hybrid weapons system.
Caldari are also affected by the issue of rockets however this should not be taken in to account as said weapons technology has been reworked and is awaiting introduction to the singularity test server. _______

My Profuse Apologies, Mr. Dumyat; At the time of Writing, my Intention of Defining the Groups as "Factions" Was Used Simply to Declare Caldari and Gallenteans as Belonging to Their own Disparate Aggregation of Individuals. I Will be Certain to Omit any Such Confusing Usages In Every Following Elucidation.

Dear Mr Tyrone Bighams.
I am writing in gratitude to your clarification towards my previous misconception that a "Disparate Aggregation of Individuals" may be separated in to naval and private ship designs. Now that the misunderstanding is understood I shall henceforth refer to aforementioned racial ship types without indulging in unnecessary confusion over the inauguration of any specific vessel.
One supposes that the meat of your argument is centered around the viability of specific hybrid munition platforms such as the megathron or rokh? Unfortunately I do not have great experience with these ships though have flown the moa on occasion and found it to be a most underrated platform, ideal for perforating over confident ruptures.
Perhaps if you could unfurl your hypothesis to a greater plateau we could discuss these ideas more.
Yours sincerely, Yani Dumyat.

Far from it my friend. Many teachers are willing and most wish to do good but few have the talent to truly inspire. Mr Lea was the one teacher who could swear at me and I would not complain, whatever I displayed in youthful arrogance he could counter with Carlos Castaneda, Aldous Huxley, Shakespeare, Kafka and then when I handed in an essay written in green pen the good Mr Lea turned to me. "The only people who write in green pen are madmen and the president of the united states."
One does not easily forget such genius. _______

Mr Dumyat, It is with a heavy heart that I Stand before you, the one proud nations of Gallente and Caldari held, tattered, in my hands.
Hybrid Specific Platforms are vessels that serve almost no purpose in today's game of EVE online.
A quick Summary of the plight [especially that of the Gallenteans] is thus: -Hybrids, taken as a whole, have poor damage. A Pulse Laser has almost as much damage dealing capability as a Blaster, and more than five times the optimal firing range. Intolerable!
-Railguns [colloquially designated as "fail"guns due to their execrable statistics] are not at all useful. Their increased range means nothing when their damage is pitifully low and their damage types are immutable.
-All this combines to evaporate the hopes of any Galleantan or Caldari Turret Platform being able to stand on equal terms with their counterpart ships. CCP. Hear my prayer from atop your bone strewn tower! Boost Gallente, for they have become free kills in todays fleet warfare due to poor range, ineffective webs, and terrible speed! |

I respectfully submit that no viable long range weapons system has the ability to vary damage types at extreme range. In the end, I do, however, concur that Hybrid weapons systems are lacking in some key areas.

Your hesitation is warranted, as this board has a nail of its own.
Sadly, Seibestor men have such ungainly skulls that the humble Joseph Merrick would lower his eyes in disgust, and it is enough to drive some of us to put on rouge just to look in the mirror without making a geyser of our lunch. With apprehension I must note that you bear the mark of this condition.

Liang, I am pleasantly surprised by your presence in my humble thread. Having read several of your preceding posts, i have found you to be a clear analytical thinker. Your point that no weapon system can change damage types at extreme range does have some merit to it; however, i would posit that overall, railguns cannot stand up to artillery despite their range advantage. Hybrids do have several intolerable flaws and drawbacks associated with their use, and I invite you to go more indepth as to why you feel as I do.

Dear Mr. Bighams,
The List of intolerable flaws in Hybrids is quite impressive indeed. The base problems are quite simple and well named by many. I would say that the three biggest problems are an insufficient quantity of damage, insufficient damage application inside what is colloquially known as Web Range, and insufficient speed to bring said damage to bear. Should I be tasked with coming up with a definite numerical solution to fix both Gallente and Caldari racial hybrid platforms, I would say that perhaps a modest damage increase of no more than 15% should be coupled with increasing base fittings on some few ships and increasing the Caldari racial optimal bonus to 15%. I would further like to revisit the idea of balance between active and passive tanking, and armor rigs in particular.

Sincerely, Liang '-Liang' Nuren
In regards to your statement, I am in total agreement about the idea of rebalancing active and passive tanking, with special regard on the armor rigs indeed.
as for the changes on the hybrid weaponary, I do have quite the different ideas, altho the idea of increasing the bonus range of caldari racial hybrid platforms to 15% is somewhat interesting, along with the dire need of increasing the powergrid of said platforms. I propose to the railguns an increase of damage of no more than 10%, on contrary of your proposal, to the topmost calibre of said guns on the 3 subcapital size classes, while the lower calibre guns could indeed benefit from a 15% damage and a 5% tracking increase on their statistical parameters.
as far as blasters are concerned however, I would desire no less than a 20% increase in damage, coupled with a 5% increase in tracking. My proposition hangs on the fact that the blaster weaponry should regain the title of absolute damage inflicter, a status that nowadays is quite faded by the fact that it only has minor damage advantage against an overwhelming number of negative points that, infact, totally nullify such feeble damage advantage. ---

I warily posit that increasing the wrath that spews from the barrels of blasters by such a percent might have ill effects, tipping the already skewed scales of balance too far in the opposite direction.
I think we can all concur that repeating-canons and light-amplification weaponry play too well within the lowly blaster's current sphere of influence. But intense pain dealt in close quarters can still be felt afar, and if overdone a blaster may subsume the canon's influence within all practical ranges of application.
Unless one makes the blaster's bite more potent while also cutting the slack in the monster's leash? Of course, I refer to the effect known as falloff.
TV;DR (Too Victorian; Didn't Read):
I want Blasters to destroy within Scram range, but if through falloff they own everything out to Disruptor range, that's a problem. I'd support either a reasonable damage upgrade, or massive damage upgrade plus reduced falloff.
