Akiman - We are the master of long range? When you can warp out and warp back before our torpedos hit? You have to be kidding.
Wow, just wow.
And, Jinx Barker, why are you not answering my post at all, while you're acusing me of picking some words out of context and just answering half your post? You have no argument left but the comparsion with the situation 3 years ago, when you didn't even play the game! You weren't even around when turrets got ballanced with castor.
I think he does well to ignore you, really. I don't care what the situation was 3 years ago. That was then and this is now. All you are doing is stating how awful the raven (have you even talked about any other caldari ships in this thread?) was with dual AB/MWDs. To me it sounds like you misunderstand Jinx Barker. I get the feeling that you think he wants the Raven to be a pwn-boat that flies faster than a vagabond. This is not what he is saying. He wants Caldari ships to be looked at by the devs, because he believes our ships are worse in these stats than they deserve to be, in light of changes that have been made over the last years (this doesn't mean ALL caldari ships should be boosted either).
I'm inclined to agree with him. I think his points about our mass being ridiculously high are good. Someone had a fair point with mass affecting thrust from AB/MWD, but consider that caldari ships already have the LOWEST base speeds. The kind of mass reduction I'd like to see would not make us faster than any other race, but hopefully close the gap, or make us equal to the second worst.
An agility boost would be a good thing too. It has nothing to do with speed, so no worries for you there. Someone talked about ravens (that ship again) escaping too well because "everyone knows they fit stabs" and therefore they shouldnt be made more agile lest they escape faster. I have no respect for that gripe. ALL SHIPS CAN FIT STABS! On top of that, assuming Caldari ships have the worst agility, the player who uttered that complete nonsense will have serious issues catching any races ships if its agility determines if he can catch it or not. Bring enough wingmen and nothing can escape. A ship is limited by its lowslots, you are only limited by how many friends/corp/alliance members you can get to come along with you.
To finish off: I'd like to see a review of the Caldari ship masses and agilities. I would also like to see people stop making up situations that make any boosts to these stats "evil". Give us reasons that have a place in EVE's reality, please. A raven (3rd time now?) pilot being smarter in his fittings than your attack tactic does not make it overpowered.
And for the love of Oveur, stay on topic. Personal flames are for low-sec duels...
