As someone who doesnt fly T3Ds (just kils them), im more excited for small artillery changes. Jag, wolf, slasher, dram, claw, thrasher and sabre fits are all opened up for a new meta. It will be glorious.
I am happy the svipul got beat down some, will be nice not seeing just T3Ds when i roam.

Because small arty grid was never rebalanced with rest of artillery. Also the grid change to arty was needed to make certain arty svipul fits still viable since svipul is losing grid to help curb those dual MSE or 10mn ac fits. Which were caused by the huge disparity between ac and arty fitting needs.
Also, you dont seem to realize long range small guns were mainly lasers, rails and missiles. Very few minny frigate/dessies could fit arty in any viable pvp fit (minus svipul). Theyve been behind the curve for awhile. Now, the jag, wolf, rifter, slasher, claw, dram, sabre and thrasher have wiggle room for new fits/meta.

Still an improvement, plus it loses dps unless in sharpshooter mode.
Since when have minmatar ever been an in your face brawling faction? Acs are mid range weapons, blasters are close range. Rifters scram kite (albeit terribly) already with acs. As do arty thrashers (that arent instalock fit). Jag is meant to scram kite. Wolf is arguably an in your face brawler, just has a poor slot layout.
The great thing about EVE is that no ship is "supposed" to fit anything, its all up to what the person wants to fly. Minny ships arent known to be robust to throw themselves into the guns of your hecate. So range control is kind of their thing.

Next up to "Making Artillery Great Again"
Can you spend some time making medium 650s not terrible? Or give arty 3 size options like all other weapon systems.

Pretty much every frigate and destroyer in the minmatar line-up (and the dram) got a fitting buff in regards to powergrid. Thrashers and sabre in particularly will be able to fit some pretty mean 280mm fits. Jag also will be able to fit an MSE for about 8.8k EHP w/ 280's, scram/web and 180-200dps.
