 OK I donÆt know if anyone has noticed this... But the description for the Minmatar battleships, in my opinion, is really lacking... I know that itÆs not a big deal, but how hard is it to write a small paragraph (like, for example what's already in the other race battleship descriptions!) describing each ship with a little more detail. I think it would add so much more to the game, ship, and owner just knowing something more about there ship and its history... Well at least to me it would... kind of like role playing I think... I mean just take this example >> "The Typhoon class battleship has an unusually strong structural integrity for a Minmatar shipö Hmm donÆt you think this description is kinda lame, I do, Especially compared to something like this >> "The Dominix is one of the old workhorses that dates back to the Gallente-Caldari War. The Dominix is no longer regarded as the top-of-the-line battleship, but this by no means makes it obsolete. Its formidable hulk and powerful weapon batteries means that anyone not in the largest and latest battleships will regret that they ever locked into combat with itö!!!  Man that was long in comparison and it had History and Spice! At the same time... All other battleship descriptions have this but the Tempest and Typhoon! Why is that?  (Probably because there one sentence!)
Tempest: ôThe Tempest battleship can become a real behemoth when fully equipped.ö
Scorpion: ôThe first Scorpion-class battleship was launched only a couple of years ago, and those that have been build are considered to be prototypes. Little is know of its capabilities, but what has been garnered suggests that the Scorpion is crammed to the brink with sophisticated hi-tech equipment that few can match.ö
OMG thatÆs a crazy difference in length! LOL Oh and just to show you one more that has more ôspiceö in it... (I like to call it that btw)
Apocalypse: ôOnly those in high favor with the Emperor can earn the reward of commanding one of the majestic and powerful Apocalypse class battleships. These metallic monstrosities see to it that the word of the Emperor is carried out among the denizens of the Empire and beyond.ö
Well I know that not many people are going to care much about this. Its really starting to annoy me!!! So I thought I would just rant about it, and just maybe they might stick in a larger description (at most) Please!

Wasn't the Tempest build with the aid of the Gallante? Perhaps the description should have to do something with that.
Typhoon is a really old ship used back when the Minmatar rebelled, so that should be the basis of it's description.

The description on the Mammoth indy says it was designed with the help of the Gallente. The big "sails" and long neck make the Tempest very Minmatar looking, I doubt the Gallente had anything to do with it.

Indeed, wouldn't be hard to add provide a little historical context to the minmatar battleship descriptions, like they did with the Scythe.

I agrea it is nice to have some "spice" in the descriptions, but spice of this kind is just rediculus as any one can by an Apoca and is has nothing to do with your standing... |

No you get it all wrong, Minmatar race is inferiour, most of them cant read and write so why bother with any descriptions on their ships.
CCP intentionally has it this way and its all in a roleplaying way

jah Omni is right the Minmatar name is derived from the icelandic word minnimßttar which basically means those of lesser power and is usually used about small children, the lame and the weak. So the minmatar where design to be loosers.
