Speed creep literally makes the game miserable and ship choices very stale. It is particularly frustrating for newer players who are supposed to be learning to tackle things to have cruisers be faster than their overheating frigates, while at the same time having near perfect damage application. I'm all for newbies dying, a lot, but its gotten to the point where things like the Orthrus are just too over the top. The same can be said of many hulls right now. Brawling is dead, and as a result, people don't get as many fights as they used to - everyone just speeds away the moment a bigger gang comes a long catching things has become excessively difficult.

Ship balancing is one of the most important issues to a fair amount of people - does the ship variety out there lend itself to fun match ups and interactions? Do we actually see people fielding a variety of ships? I don't think it does, and I don't think they currently do.
People want visceral, bloody combat, especially with the new sov system supposedly emphasizing smaller gang warfare. It's going to be a real disappointment if we just see the same boring kiting line-ups all the time. People are tired of fights not happening because both fleets/entities are sufficiently agile to disengage at moments notice. It's not one thing that causes this syndrome, just a general continual selective buffing of speed, application and range.

can't you go nerf kiters instead?
This cannot be echoed or said enough in this thread. One of the biggest complaints about the game presently is that the ship meta is stale and brittle, and a good part of this is because speed is king.
