I'm waiting for the day when we see an overpowered blastership for once. Through all these years blasterboats were always the gimped ones and every nerf hit them.. (Anxiously waiting for the hyperion really)
BTW Jim, gallente dont have the most forum *****s; player population goes like this: Caldari > Amarr > Gallente > Minmatar, and even though the minnies have the smallest population, the least whoring comes from gallente. The most from caldari and amarr.

Are you talking about starting races here? Because im caldari but fly minnie ships. Even though im thinking about going gallente.
Its interesting that gallente players say their ship sucks... it seems to be the most popular pvp race by far, at least judging from these forums. Specially the drone carriers are difficult to beat unless you are in a caldari missile spammer with their massive shields.
And I'm originally Amarr (switched to gallente with the stacking nerf of dmg mods). Gallente is flavour of the month cause ECM+NOS+Drones is the current I-WIN button in close combat.
The Gallente pilots that say their ships suck, went the blaster-way instead of the drones, remind you dominix was competing with the typhoon for the worst BS before ECM was changed; yes they perform extremely well atm. I agree drone boats need some nerfing but thats already gonna happen with ECM + NOS nerf, on the other hand blasterboats dont do enough dmg to compensate for the sacrifices it does in fitting and tactics. (And some of the ships are plain wrong, like whats the purpose of an ares or where is the PG of my deimos?)
Vagabond is fine really (low dps, no active tank -passive buffer-, high speed & agility.. sounds balanced), snake implants messed things up. TBH pirate implants are yet another big mistake/failure by CCP I'd say, some of the sets are overpowered like snake and crystal while others are underpowered, like talisman and halo sets.

Even though I hate to hunt down a vagabond they are pretty balanced IMO and IF there is a problem its cause of the pirate implants.
Vagabond is an excellent ship to ambush NPCers, cause when the angry gang comes to hunt you down you can evade them quite easily. But you wont see many of them in gangs or fleets, cause thats not what they are designed for.. hell even the name says it "vagabond"!
The best way to fight vagabonds is to have your gang ready to act when one is sighted, and not try to hunt him down after he has done what he came for
On the other hand snake implants need a slight nerf in their effectiveness if you ask me..
