Why are hybrids so hard to balance? From what I can see is that its a weapons systems that has shared by 2 races that have completely different war philosophy.
Gallente is come close up and melt you with blasters. Caldari is to stay far away and wear you down.
Railguns are too weak for Gallente and Blasters are too short for Caldari.
I think we should completely separate the weapon systems of Gallente and Caldari, the two races broken apart and have been at war with each other.
Therefore their weapon technologies should have diverged to a point where neither system works with the other races.
Gallente should have invented their own long range turrets, while Caldari should have done the same for their shorter range.
MY PROPOSAL:
Gallente should ditch the railguns and get particle accelerators, which work in similar concept with blasters, but still pack a punch at longer ranges.
Caldari should ditch blasters and get coil or gauss guns, which are similar to railguns, but pack more punch in exchange for range.
This will make balancing weapon systems and races much easier. |

Only a few ships share torps between Caldari and Minny, but Gallente and Caldari are stuck with each other's weapons for the majority of their shipline.
Gallente uses greedy Caldari Railguns in order to hit beyond blaster range.
Caldari uses fruity Gallente Blasters in order to fight up close.
If you balance hybrids as a whole for one race, you adversely affect another. |

Minmatar and Amarr have their own turret systems, while Gallente and Caldari have to share one.
Blaster don't work well with caldari in general and railguns don't work well with gallente in general. |

Such a brilliant way of balancing, keeping weapon systems crappy for years is great balancing and management of the game.
