Please go ahead and do that. And then you tell me how to get a dual rep armor tank to fit with the terribly low powergrid a Caldari ship offers. (4600 power for a dual large rep II, a raven has less than 12000 - try to fit torps with that)
You cant with 2 ACRs. But you can run 1 with a plate or 2 plates easily enough. Cruises fit with AWU 5.
That kind of says it all.
Why struggle to fit an armor tank when that constrains you to cruise missiles (in other words a 27% damage reduction), not to mention that you can't fit damage mods anymore. And all that to free up the mid slots for tackling gear and EW - wasn't winning/surviving a close range engagement the point of all this?
Um all armor tankers give up damage mods to fit their tanks so they can tackle and use ewar.
Also Raven has more grid than a Domi...

I'd like to see:
1 - All kinetic damage bonus changed to straight damage bonus.
2 - Adjustment in missile speed and flight time. 1.25 missile speed bonus, 0.8 missile flight time penalty.
3 - All missile skills affect all missile types. **** guided/unguided.
4 - t1 rail boats get 1 extra turret slot. Moa/Ferox + 1 turret hardpoint.
I think that would go a long way to helping out Caldari without making them ********ly overpowered. I don't get Caldari players mentallity.
You chose the missile/rail race and now decide that you don't like the play style this requires so you want them changed? That's like an Amarr pilot complaining about how Amarr ships armor tank, use lasers and don't have the mids for ewar or a Gallente pilot whining about how their drones/blasters lose effectiveness as gang size increases and that they are hard to use because closing to 0m is difficult. Or Minmatar pilots complaining because they have to fly carefully to get the most out of autocannon falloff range.
Its a playstyle you chose.

... just switch to precision cruise if in a raven vs a domi and problem solved.
You just made my day. Why switching to a lower damage ammunition specialized to hit small and fast targets when fighting a battleship should give you an edge is beyond me, but you might know secrets that I don't.
So you could pop the Domi's drones???
It's a wonder you guys can't win at pvp.

By the time a raven has killed all of a Domi's drones - remember scoop redeploy and ravens with webs have weakened tanks - well it doesn't happen, the Raven is already long dead.
Caldari are at a PvP disadvantage, the argument the race is properly balanced and Caldari pilots don't use their ships right doesn't hold water.
This is my ignorance of the Raven showing but can it not 1 or 2 volley a webbed ogre II when running a full solo pvp kit?
I've used a Domi in pvp a number of times. Having to scoop/redeploy does lower our dps quite a bit. Every time we pull a drone we lose 20% dps for a few seconds.
When you pvp in a Raven you try to kite the Domi right?
Like you fly directly away while shooting the drones you web that get inside 10k? Or shoot the Domi itself while it closes the distance so that it can Scoop/Redeploy?
You have an MWD correct?
I agree with most people that soloing in a shield tanker is hard because of the necessity of tackling but I do not agree that this weakness makes Caldari underpowered.
Eve is about gang/fleet pvp after all and not about solo.
