I have to say that this illustrates to me that I was correct in my earlier posts, that CCP has no idea or long term planning laid out for EVE ships, and overall ship combat and ship balance. They come up with ideas, and toss ships into the mix (ie: Destroyers, T2 frigates, Battleships were once referenced as capital ships, Battlecruisers) almost on the fly, and try to squeeze them in. Then after adding in the ships, they spend the next 6-8 months nerfing various ships very heavily, not examining the repurcussions of their nerfs, and then later, have to boost most of them back because they finally realize that they've nerfed them so bad that no one wants to fly them anymore and/or the ship is completely useless.
On the other hand, I also have to say that I find these posts quite amusing too. Let me explain. Ive flown all of the races at a T2 level except Gallente. Never quite got around to them as my hands were full with the 3 other races. Since my time here at Eve, Ive witnessed nerf after nerf after nerf to Caldari and Amarr, to the point where many of the ships in both of those races were reduced to plain crap (Moa, Raven for PVP, Ferox, Eagle, Pilgrim, Curse, Zealot, any Amarr Cruiser, just about any Amarr BS). Ive witnessed boost after boost after boost to Minmatar (primarily) and Gallente. Could be that Im looking at this from a PVP perspective, because lets face it, Caldari always have been, and probably always will be the kings of PVE. However the number of SP to participate in PVE is significantly less than PVP - so I dont think its a valid point to look at which race is best at PVE (just simply train up Caldari BS to 2 or 3 and you'll be fine with a Raven). So, it is amusing, that for the longest time, all of the Gallente based pilots would flame the crap out of the Amarr pilots when the Amarr pilots would say that their ships cant compete on the battlefield.
Now that there are two nerfs against the Gallente, they are out full force posting up a storm. Maybe now that you've had the experience with the Diemos, we can all evaluate more objectively about the impact of changes, and support fair and just changes for all ships, and not just demand boosts for the ships that we fly only. But then again, Im dreaming......
Flame on!

People enjoy flying Amarr for the same reason they like being tied up in leather, whipped and called names
