I believe you have a point: due to the historical missile focus of Caldari ships (Merlin, Kestrel, Condor, Caracal, Drake, Raven, Phoenix) it pains me to see Minmatar and Amarr ships arguably doing better in the role of missile-based combat ships. And yes, Tippia, the Merlin was originally a dual weapon ship just like the Rifter was projectile/missile based many years ago.
Not sure if lead or led. /Grammar Hilmar I plan on living forever.......so far, so good. |

I totally read that to the tune of For What it's Worth by Buffalo Springfield Feel like the line "there's a man with a Curse over there, draining my capacitor bare" should have been worked in somehow... There once was a Minmatar native Who thought he'd be very Courageous To Low Sec he flew, Gate Camp "Screw you" And he woke up to try it anew. This is supposed to be the same pentameter as the Nantucket rhyme :P There once was a good little Null Bear Ratting in systems he knew. There's a Curse over there His Capacitor bare And Rage mail to Goonswarm it flew.
Either way, Yetterbium's post needs to be Permaband's next hit single....

Oh, and just because one T2 manufacturer gets its flavour tweak doesn't mean an entire race is getting the shaft. Uhm who was the "missile race" then if not Caldari? 60% of their ships are pretty useless without missile skills back in the day and today. So yeah saying that Caldari never was/is the missile race is a pretty weak trolling attempt tbh. You can do better. Dedicated missile HAC, missile DD, missile frig,missile cruisers,missile recons, missile dread and missile titan, yep definitely NOT a missile race absolutely not.
Caldari are a missile AND hybrid race. They are not just missiles. They have the most missile focused ships, and their hybrid ships were crap for a long time, but they were never just a missile race. The devs have made this quite clear.
To answer your question specifically, there was no "missile race", ever. |

Giving Khanid ships damge bonus to long ranged missiles and strenghtening Minmatar ships that use missiles to do rainbow damage beyound that of Caldari may just be an issue about flavor and variance (I don't think so), but allowing both to keep more generous drone bay than Caldari is a slap in the face.

It'd be nice if Caldari at least got some kind of unique type of bonus to missiles, to distinguish them from other races' equivalents. Velocity, maybe, or make them better at hitting small targets in an analogue to Gallente's tracking bonuses. (Speaking of bonuses that used to be racial and are now homogenized...)
And no, "kinetic damage" doesn't count. That's a malus disguised as a bonus. |

Why not just get rid of all the racial ships and make a frig and BS in the Gnosis flavor? Then everyone will be equal and the same. Not everyone in Eve wants all the ships to be the same. I liked the days when I could say "I am Gallente, you cannot beat my drones.". |

I really donGÇÖt believe the OP main point was or was not about Caldari missile. They just may have been trying to say something different?

I agree with the OP's sentiment, as it does seem like we're losing racial flavour in the game. When I first stated playing Gallente with microwarpdriving blaster/armour boats, now they use rails and shield tank lol. Likewise if you were in pvp you were glad you were in an Amarr ship, now you really regret it. Winmatar were just called Minmatar and Caldari ships prioritised missiles over hybrids and even though they didn't perform that well the ability to select for damage made up for it somewhat. Now there's no need to select for damage as we only have half decent performance for kinetic and almost zero performance for all others. I speak as a sympathetic Khanid.
I think we've seen a lot of dumbing down in recent years all for the sake of Pegi 12, and don't even get me started on the changes to exploration which incidentally stopped everyone exploring as on entry to a system you find everything via your survey scanner.
Eve is not the harsh mistress she was back in 2007 when I started she's mellowed and is not half as much fun, she's sad and depressed as her best days are clearly behind her, because she's taken the advice of idiots and profiteers instead of proudly continuing to do her own thing. Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction... |
