In another thread on this board, someone is crying that Minmatar ships didn't get the EM resists nerf because they are currently at 60% resists. For other ships, the downgrade of resists resulted in 25% more damage. For example:
A 100 EM damage missile hits ship with resists of 60% to deal 40 damage.
A 100 EM damage missile hits ship with resists of 50% to deal 50 damage.
50-40=10
10 is 25% of 40
With the recent patch, the resists dropped a full 10% just like every other ship in the game. Every race gets a racial bonus to armor resists. Caldari get a thermal boost, Gallente kinetic, Amarr explosive, and Minmatar EM. When you slash 10% resists compared to 100%, you take off some of that racial bonus. For the Minmatar to be in line with every other race, they need to take 25% more damage for EM than simply cutting out 10% resists. To illustrate:
A 100 EM damage missile hits a pre-patch Minmatar ship with resists of 70% to deal 30 damage.
A 100 EM damage missile hits a post-patch Minmatar ship with resists of 60% to deal 40 damage.
40-30=10
10 is 33% of 40
A 100 EM damage missile hits a pre-patch Minmatar ship with resists of 70% to deal 30 damage.
A 100 EM damage missile hits a post-patch Minmatar ship with resists of 62.5% to deal 37.5 damage.
37.5-30=7.5
7.5 is 25% of 30
So to fix this ninja-nerf, Minmatar EM resists need to be brought up from 60% to 62.5%.

Durrr. Whenever you nerf anything, something else gets boosted. I understand it's done to buff those two damages. I'm not complaining about that at all. I'm saying that CCP declared they made this patch without any nerfs, which basically translates to everyone is affected the same. All ships are supposed to take 25% more explosive damage to shield and all ships are supposed to take 25% more EM damage to armor. However, Minnie ships are taking 33% more EM damage to armor.

Seriously , what are the odds of CCP bothering to look into a 2.5% resist imbalance ? 
Minmatar pilots will start fitting omnitanks on everything. Well , T1 minmatar armor tankers will probably fit an explosive hardener / rig to boost their weakest resist. Ergo , kinetic damage will be better on them - caldari missile boost !

I don't believe that a link to a RickRoll video constitutes proof, even in CAOD.

That's the kind of thinking that led this to happen in the first place. That extra 2.5% taken off on the overall resists translates to you taking 8ish% more damage.
