The trait of resist-bonus hulls usually is a glaring deficiency in categories of "dps" Agility/speed or Amarr cap deficiency.
Therefor I think the potential for catastrophe with an across the board change is devastating.
I myself skilled for a passive drake setup even after I found the boat to be boring because of its versatility giving a foothold in many venues in EvE.
Even though I wish I would've just gone for a Hurricane which was my intended direct cross train from the drake and my fun boat, a patch changed a lot of things nerfing both ships it doesn't bother me if it wasn't for the fact I am so low SP.
Many changes like this are made with zero consideration for low SP characters, who have their skill plan rewards turned upside down.
As former posters have stated if you are going to mess with a drake or a prophecy, you are not messing with boats favored for their aggressive hit and run PvP style.
These are the boats that are left alone in low sec, floating through an ocean of darkness like majestic sea turtles no one wants to bite into, often referred to as "bait" because they have lots of hp but terribad damage projection or tackling potential.
It might not make its way into a spreadsheet/database very well, but how do you quantify a boats "dps" vs survivability ratio when it is largely due to someone deciding to bash their head into a brick wall instead of taking a breath and walking away without risk.
Do you look at success numbers in the light of ships used as well?
As far as I can tell I have only seen a mayor argument concerning remote repair imbalance, let shield resistances reduce that by an equal amount as mentioned before.
Also nerfing speed tanking really created a strange and giant tidal wave to the trinity of active tanking, capless weapon systems and damage evasion that needs a second looking into.
Move some more stats around then ship bonuses alone id say give it a second look.
Blob dynamics is a beast on its own that does not warrant across the board tinkering, thank you very much.
