Same old, same old.
You do realize that most of you fail to take into account that to be on par with other races Matars needs FAR more skill, for one, that the arty has the worst tracking ever and have lose their alpha strike bonus too?
Yo do realize too that if the minmatar are so good there is a problem because nearly NOBODY fly them unless they have started them one year or more ago?
(for pve everyone is flying raven|drake and/or domi[megathron, for pvp everyone is flying megathron/domi/others varying with the situation, but quite never Matar unless they fly a vaga with nano/stabs or a nanophoon[won't really happen now with the nerf, right?:D]).
And, most of all, you all fail to take into account the reload time in your graphs and comparison.
Take heavy artillery, they have a rof far worse than Cruise(you know, nearly the slowest firing weapon normally) and can only put half or a third of the amount of ammunitions you put in the cruise launchers.
I don't talk about their ****ty tracking either too.
I wonder how that can make them as good as amaar(no reload time ever, IF you have to change ammo the whole process of changing them don't take as long as the reloading of ONE gun. It will be even worse the day we will have a "change ammo on all weapons" button.) or Hybrids....
Or the fitting problems of most minmatar ships since the shield tankers lacks mids and armort tankers lacks low.
The minmatar have taken every single nerf to Eve mecanism since 2 years, every single boost didn't touch them as much as others(like let's say, HP boost that are % and not straight boost, so matar got less hp points, etc etc) and they have lost one of their specificity and usefulness/advantage(Alpha strike that is now REALLY a joke since damages didn't increase by 25% 2 times in a row....).
For one time, we should admit that they have been pretty badly hit and that they need some love instead of wanting them kept in the dark pit.
It's awfully boring AND annoying that nearly everyone fly the same ships since they are "flavor of the month" or "the only choice to do THAT thing"(Raven, Megathron, etc) unless they are not skilled for that and have something else to chose.
It's quite easy to see how the races are unbalanced when you have nearly 70 to 80% of the population of EVE that is flying, without any second tought, Gallente or Caldari.
When there is THAT much unbalance, you know with certitude the two others got the shaft in one way or another....
