If I wanted to fly solo (which I don't) I would train the skills for a Mega. Caldari have some of the best gang ships around, Rook/Scorpion anyone?! Most gangs would welcome having such ships fly with them, as they enhance and improve the gang by adding something different.
If you haven't already invested in the training necessary to fly an ECM ship effectively, you're better off spending that time training just about anything else -- be it for solo, gang, pvp, pve, etc. Damps are so much better than jammers right now that any fc would prefer an arazu or a lachesis in the small-medium gang ewar role and on the rare occasion that a scorpion does undock, he's fitting a massive shield tank or damps rather than ecm. The big advantage of ECM is range, but speed is so prevalent that a range tank just isn't practical. If you completely gimp your tank and your damage you can get back to where ECM was before the nerf, but unless your insurance is about to run out why bother? |

When do people realize, CCP made Caldari for NPCing.
Wanna PvP, train Gallente or Minmatar.
And when you used to be amarr specced when in the old times they were good, you do what ? :)
Honestly i am specced caldari and amarr, and a little bit in gallente, and i just mix ship, you can go in a gallente ship even if you don't have all the skills to lvl 5 you know, i use sometimes a thorax with gallente cruiser 4 and medium hybrid to 4, so no tech II guns, but it still can do good thing. I sometimes use mega with only BS at lvl 3 with good named blasters and it can do well also. Just realize that if you have trained good general gunnery skills and missile skills, you can switch race quite fast, you just have to train the good gunnery and the spaceship command, which isn't really long ( ofc BS V is still long :) ).
What i want to show you, is that you don't have to be specced as hell in a race to fly the ships effectively, ofc if you encounter a mega pilot with awesome drones skills, tech II blaster, and BS gallente lvl 5, you might have trouble in your mega with lower skills.

I haven't flown a Rokh yet, but I know it has mobility issues as well.
God, does it ever...

I am new to forums and the eve game/universe but i am a very quick learner. i have tried a few races ( well all of them ) and its just what you prefer doing in the beginning that you choose. talking to higher level players in rokhs that rolled minmatar you see that its only the first 800k SP that your choices control. you still have the choice to fly what you want with what you want equipped. different races have different bonuses to their ships but they might rule in another. like the caldari are good for pve but solo pvp suxx. just wait a few weeks and you can have 800k of sp in gallente if that is how you so choose. the great thing with eve is that it is a FANTASY universe. thats all it is. i figment of imagination that people play to have fun. if you let it rule your life then so be it but if other people "imagine" another thing in game and you don't like it then deal with it. now i have just warbled on and moaned for a while about many topics with nothing on this topic but it kinda fits and anyway i imagine it will someday.

i wonder why CCP don't wanna do anythin' with caldari ships
cause most problem of all caldari > med. slots for disruptors, webby&cap.boosters
i can't solo pvp cause if i fit web, distruptor&cap.booster i'll be without any resists so i'll lose
for example the same gallente mega can be full-fited ( i'll not say any about 2 LAR.which u can fit also ;) and use in dual mode ) and use 2webby, disruptor&booster
it's too hard to understand but it's really
caldari solo really suxx :(
Welcome to EVE. Or Gallente online. Either one works. Start training for a dominix.

Start training for the Dominix indeed. Hopefully, by the time that's finished CCP will have figured out exactly how to nerf Caldari at PVE whilst boosting their PVP ability, and you'll have wasted all that training.
I on the other hand decided to play the wildcard: I trained Amarr.

[Caldari's] strength lies in gangs. Solo at pvp they arent all that fantastic.
Quite. I often bemoan the lack of a Caldari PVP ship, but it's not as if CCP aren't trying. The Drake has up until now been one of the best baiting ships (well, best as in it should survive - often it's difficult to get people to engage the damn things, but when they do you can usually absorb a lot of damage and still fit a web/scram as long as you're using rigs) and the Rokh is a decent sniper, even if its tracking at fleet distances is a little sub-par.

Hi, i'm pretty new to this game, but i love it the way it is and don't think that races should change, at least not the way almost all of you sugest. I think i would like to see even more differences between races. But anyway, concerning this topic, i have an idea and would like to know your thoughts about it: what if ccp makes possible modules in higher slots then required, for example a low slot module to be equiped in low, med or high slot and med slot modules in med or high slots, but not in low and high slot modules just in high slots.

Basilisk might become better soon as logistics ships are getting a boost.
My friends basilisk runs 5 large shield transporters at logistics lvl4 continuously. At lvl5 he will run 6. How is that bad?

The dont solo pvp or train for gallente. I wouldnt change a thing with caldari... In fact they are my favorite race because it is so easy to change to gallente and when you start flying Nighthawks, CNRs or rattlesnakes like the big boys you wont be complaining.

Uhhhh buddy noone wants to see an Abaddon with 4 heat sinks and full low slots. Now it's a great idea, in fact, Ive pondered it myself, but it just wouldnt work.

The game's supposed to be balanced for PvP, but not necessarily solo Pvp. It's not single player deathmatch out there.
