Probably safe to say that the 99% you speak of are gallente ship pilots so theyre hardly likely to settle for anything less than "OMGBBQ!!1!!1!" ? Let's see how they play out on SISI before leaping to judgements.

hybrids are impossible to fix, take them out of the game.

the proposed changes are proving me right.

Oh sure, people will use less effective weaponry simply because they like the ship or whatever, in a game you also want to have fun and flying in a ship whose design is especially appealing to you contributes to it.
But as soon as you enter pvp against competent opponents, you lose 9/10 times, and that 1 time you will win only because everybody will sooner or later make mistakes, therefore allowing you a victory.

I know that you like yourself a nano-blastermega. Since armortanked megas are far, far more common, people will underestimate your speed and agility seriously and therefore getting easily into blasterrange.

But the deciding factor is not the quality of your weapons or the ship or even your piloting skills, it is simply information warfare: wrong assumptions will lead to wrong decisions in battle.

Against a competent opponent that allows for the possibility of more unusual fits you are toast.

Well, i-¦m happy for you but people flying around in battleships with lasers and projectiles are quite confident that their weapons are actually a danger for other battleships as well. And they will tear you apart 9 times out of 10. Because you will be already dead before you come close enough to do damage.
