I think it's balanced ok. besides, you ask how many minnie pilots have won i battle after they have run out of cap because their guns kept firing and i'd say it's a rare occasion. you see how long a tempest with no cap lasts against a b'thron.
also as said before gallente get drones which altho can be popped they are essentially dmg without cap.
i think amarr are the weak link here as usual. they get the crappy high cap usage and not much to balance that. but heh that's why i cross trained to gallente

A tempest running out of cap will do fine against a blasterthron ... if said B-thron is also cap dead :)
Neuts work better on minnie ships than Nos ...
how does a tempest run out of cap before a b-thron?
a) i've never heard of a tempest with unlimited cap charges. have you?
b) if it doesn't run outta cap then it's irrelevant
c) in that case how long does a tempest last against a domi with ogre II's when it's run outta cap. again the answer is not long so doesn't make much differencce in 90% of engagements

HOW DO I BASH THIS THROUGH YOUR TINY THICK SKULL.
A TEMPEST CANNOT RUN OUT OF CAP BEFORE A BLASTERTHRON, BECAUSE THE BLASTERTHRON USES MORE CAP PER SECOND THAN THE TEMPEST AND THEY HAVE SIMILAR CAPACITOR SIZES.
a) if you want to insult someone then come do it in person in game or out i don't mind which you little kid.
b) the mega pilot does a lot more dps than the tempest so the pest will be repping at a much faster rate so will actually use more cap. also ur not talking about setup differences. the mega might have 2 nos and maybe pest 1. there's many different fadctors involved it's not just something that is the same every time.
the fact that ur saying a pest will never run out of cap to a mega is surprising but if u had read my post then u'd know that was my whole point. pests very rarely run out of cap.
next time u reply show a little respect and stop ur stupid insults on the forums or i'll simply get them removed.

1) The Megathron will kill the tempest long before the tempest runs out of cap from repping. You cant tank that type of damage without a dedicated tank setup[a ridiculous tank setup]. You cant tank the damage a Tempest puts out without a dedicated tank setup either.
2) The only setups worth talking about are similar setups, yea the megathron might be running highs full of NOS, but such a setup is stupid when comparing the cap use of blasters versus autocannons.
3) The tempest has more "free slots" for NOS than a Megathron does.
4) The question is comparing the cap use of the autocannons vs blasters so the question of running out of cap is intimatly important to the discussion.
Your absolutely right it's very unlikely that situation will happen unless the pest is dumb and not injected.
Which is exactly my point btw. the pests weapons not using cap isn't that much of a big deal compared to gallente as most minnie ships will not run out of cap unless they are gonna die anyway and for the extra dps that blasters have ove ac's i think this is balanced.
one area that the cap usage issue really comes into play is with ceptors and af's. nos is a frig killer but a wolf for example can still be very effective with 0 cap where as amarr or gallente's are pretty much dead in the water after a heavy nos or 2 is on them.
i think everyone here is coming to the same conclusion. gallente/minnie is balanced ok to for cap/dmg, caldari is mmm well caldari and amarr suck
