Haiev Lyath	Posted - 2005.11.01 22:21:00 - [1] I don't fly Gallente ships but truth be told one thing comes to my mind. Nerfing. It happened to actually all races in this game. Now it happens to Gallente. The developers should finally realise that you just don't change the rules, any rules, while the game is on. Pacta sunt servanta. Right now it seems that whatever inbalance is found (read: some race's ships become more popular), CCP just decreases their potential. Which inevitably leads to another inbalance. So another race has to be nerfed. And another. This seems like a neverending story. I don't like this kind of approach. We spend a lot of time to train skills for particular ships and suddenly we realise it was for nothing. I personally think that if any inconsitence regarding ship's strenght is found other races should be boosted rather, more skills added allowing them to become en par with the 'superior' race, than cutting down the potential that already exists. If we agree on this right now, soon the wheel will turn again, and we will have Minmatar nerfed, Amarr nerfed and Caldari nerfed (and mind u it hasn't been so long ago). So instead of nerfing drones, some reasonable way to counter them should be introduced. Like boosting smart bombs for instance - their range, damage etc. Adding some drone interference modules might be a nice work around as well. In my opinion the simple act of nerfing is crude and primitive... It's like - you have a headache - cut the head. Simple and most obious solution. But not really the most brilliant or elegant one. Lots of blood tends to be spilt. Even if you provide a bucket, in this case presenting itself in the form of these hilarious EM, Thermal and other damage bonuses. This is nothing but a joke really. This is a nerf. Don't think about it otherwise. If some guy spits you in the face, please don't pretend it's raining.
