Buu ******* huu. So the game is a little harder for minnie. You still have speed, you still have painful gunz. So artillary will be quite ineffective - so what? Sniping needs a nerf and this will provide it. You still get your stabbabond, your huginn + rapier, your sliepnir. It wont make alot of difference to any of these ships.
This is pure flamebait...and its almost working since I know you fly megathrons and dont know anything about minmatar. But... I guess you have the right to your opinion....

Stiletto = best ceptor
Vagabond = best hac
Jaguar = best af
Cheetah = best cov op
Sleipnir = best CS
Huginn/Rapier = good stuff
Minmatar Carrier = best for POS shield recharging
Nanophoon = \o/
Artillery boats: 0. (ok, maybe a few of them can use artillery, ill give you that)
Maybe the OP wasnt clear. By increasing the hitpoints of the ships, he is decreasing the significance of the already bad alpha strike of artillery. Alpha strike. Because thats all artillery has going for it. They are the lowest dps longrange guns in the game. Lowest.
I hope you understand why players are upset.

Oveur just posted that they are aware of the alpha strike problem, so thats enough for me to calm down abit. :)

We're actually quite aware of the alpha-strike effectiveness after the current changes and although we haven't really got anything concrete we feel happy with, we have some changes we want to check out in public testing.

What about a large plated AC Muninn now...That is starting to look like a nice cruiser.
Yeah, I think it will be good enough with the 5 guns, 2 nos fitting.

The more I think about it, I think the extra hitpoints will be an advantage to the minmatar, specially if they change the ammo size of projectiles like they are considering. While other races will use more cap in the fights both for tanking and damage (except caldari missile ships and drone boats), minmatar can use that to their advantage for a longer period of time in the fight (until they pop). :)
We'll see how it turns out. Kali is coming to the test server in just a few days it seems...

Amarr kill shield "in seconds" with EM, minnie kill armor "in seconds" with exp, and since we have equal amount of armor & shieldtankers ingame thats balanced.
Oh, wait..
Think of it this way... you can kill Ravens.
