Just wondering what's on the drawing board. You buffed hybrids a little bit, but most Gallente ships and their bonuses are still messed up. things to address:
- shield vs. armor tank; armor rigs
(armor tanking is generally incompatible with mobility and high dps because of speed penalties and low slot usage; everyone may be attempting to fly half-assed shield tanks, but the bonuses and slots dont match)
- speed
- active vs passive tanking
- ammo
- medium hybrids (especially rails; they are awful; there isnt a single ship that can setup a decent tank with a rack of 250mm's)
over the last 3 years, Gallente ships have been getting torn apart by nano Drakes and Canes (for example). Gallente have the worst possible damage projection in the game. will this race's ships become viable once again (in comparison to the rest), or do you guys need more metrics (serious question) ?
p.s. Crucible has been a much appreciated expansion. however, it did next to nothing to address the rampant imbalances in the game (only Tornadoes and Oracles are being used effectively, while the other two are gimps). will you be posting updates on what you're working on, and what's on the drawing board? this is pretty high priority stuff because EVE is about pee vee pee. in fact, i cant imagine what can be more important in terms of the game's new direction. |

there's absolutely no reason why rails should not be able to do what arties and pulses can. |

The OP does bring up some fine points, but he's wrong on some of them.
The Talos is the only not being used, due to having to be at 0 and no tank, you might as well just get a Brutix.
250mm rails do hae a slight problem, but not as big as your making it out to be.
well at this point im going to have to request some metrics. both the Talos and medium rails are not getting significant kills from what ive seen anyways. there's no reason to use anything over the Tornado's alpha and Oracle's dps.
the problem is essentially the same: why fly anything other than Canes and Drakes? |

Speed boost and agility are nice. Still cannot catch targets for blaster love and hugs is the point I believe, amongst other things.
Yes we got a speed boost.
No, it wasn't enough to get us into engagement range with blasters before we pop. The main ***** about gallente is the supposed focus on blasters.
My mega out runs and out manovers most BCs it meets now and the combat range of blasters is perfectly fine so long as you dont try to fly them like an auto ship.
your mega is out-tanked, out-dps'd and out-ranged by any amarr and minnie bs. taking down bc's with ease is something every bs should be capable of. and only the shield mega with 2-3 TE's in lows has decent damage projection (still laughed at by any pulse boat). |

i dont know, this sounds like a whole bunch of hot air to me. im not saying i dont believe you, im sure you got on the killmails. but the mega pulse oracles and arty tornadoes did all the work for sure. unless you can give me some examples, im afraid youre not contributing anything to the thread. large rails have nothing to offer over arties and mega pulses with scorch.
in addition, this does not address the issue with medium rails, which are awful.
but really, id love to get some sort of response from CCP regarding upcoming plans for overall ship balancing and Gallente fixing. |

tallest said these are all changes theyre considering. i hope theres some really cool stuff being internally tested. it would be great to get a timeline though, or just some reassurance that they're working on SOMETHING. |
