I have spoken to a few amtes about this and they agree (to msome extent) that Gallente ships IMO should be the fastest ships, not minmatar.
I don't want them being lightning quick, but have the highest top speed, minmatar should have excellent accleration and be the first to hit their top speed, Gallente though should be very slow to get moving but when they start they just keep on ploughing through things and very high speeds.
My reasons for this are a few; for one thinbg look at those engines! They are huge and should be able to really push the ship along at high speeds, another reason is that Gallente use blasters, with a good top speed more people would use them. I want Gallente ships to just plough right into the enemy at high speed blowing them away in seconds of blaster fire, then keep on going. The Megathron looks like something that should be able to do this and I'd love to see these changes implemented.
BTW: I don't fly Gallente ships, except an Iteron mk II I never use, this is just what I think they should be.

...
i want to fire cruise missiles from the other end of the system, guided by an elite frig laser marker those missiles go on warp, warp to the marked target (who does not know about of course), pursue him and rip his ship apart.
and of course i want those misisles VEEEEEEEEERY fast and nimble AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND i want launchers that can fire dozens of em in a matter of seconds and after the target is destroyed they will circle until the elite frigs marks another one....

bah, this is the way they made it.
Mimiru > It'd be a tie, the monkies nerfed pooflinger wouldnt have enough tracking to hit the parrot orbiting him, but the parrot's beak is so small it couldnt break the monkey's fur tanking. |

ion trusters are energy conserving - but not wery powerful :P
we minnies use Thermonuclear Plasma drives :P Thats The P0wah!

According to this reasoning, i'm afraid of how fast a Bestower should go, u should see the engines on that thing :)

lol ok, forget the reasoning for the moment, consider the ingame benefits. Gallente use blasters and ECM. Both are short range, if they are fast then more people would use Gallente ships for that purpose.

Ok, please stop reasoning ... in fact there wouldn't be a top speed with constant acceleration force and no other forces affecting the ship (no friction/gravitation).

Yes, and by that reasoning, when you hit into a stargate at 10km/s your ship should go splat. (this is why theres acceleration limits :)

Big engines dont mean a thing they migh be of a sucky design giving much less power output then a well designed smaller engine. So without any reasoning left to back this change up we can just drop it and forget it ever happened. There are plenty of threads on how to make megablaster faster so they can capitalize on that tactic. Its now all up to devs to either listen to those threads or ignore them.

I woudl imagine amarr fusion thursting would go faster or even the weird Caldari drives.

GALLANTE CAN USE RAILGUNS

(they kick ass with them too)
End of story, blasters are not weapons that are useful for some situations, they completely OWN in others. Understand? Good.
