/brings the whips and chains.
p.s. Even though I just recently started I know enough that A/Cs & Artillery need some help... just wanted to add my voice to the call for reform.

Edited by: Amandin Adouin on 25/07/2008 16:24:02 Rather than going back and forth about it until eternity, someone should go through this whole thread and write up a concise, grammatically correct summary of the issues, arguments and possible solutions (from all corners). Then this summary should be presented to a CSM and posted into the Features/Development forum.
Anyone want to volunteer?

Originally by: AstroPhobic It arises from the dead!
So tell me, how many people have stopped training minmatar and moved on to another race? Alts included. I already have. To amarr, of course.
I'm seriously considering it.
btw I posted a link to this thread in the directed feedback thread that the Devs started on the Game Dev Forum - as my good deed for the day

Originally by: AstroPhobic Thanks for the publicity Amanda. It always seems that minmatar is the minority here.
No, thank you Astro... You three (you and Liang and Bozz) are the most helpful and knowledgeable (and funny! ) people I've seen here. I wish you guys were the ones doing the testing for CCP. Then maybe we wouldn't be in this damn mess. It was the least I could do.

Originally by: AstroPhobic Though I feel it's been discussed to near death. What we really need is recognition, and you seem to be helping that along more than any of us. Kudos.
I've actually been spending waaayyy too much time in the game and on the forums lately because well, let's just say Eve is helping me get through some pretty hard times. But if I really had the time and wherewithall to help, I would have taken a crack at writing up that summary of this whole thread, but ehhhh. Maybe if I get bored enough at work this week. I'd ask you guys look at it first though, as I'm completely unqualified to speak on the subject.

Originally by: deadmeet I don't stop training minmatar because I really like this race ... but for the unique soul minmatar have (the pure minmatar players will understand me ^^).
I totally know what you're saying That's been my reason for wanting to doggedly stick it out with them also, even when every other race is better.

Edited by: Amandin Adouin on 30/07/2008 01:41:42 Edited by: Amandin Adouin on 30/07/2008 01:38:18 I'm sorry but the sexy pirate masts just have to be mentioned, regardless of what you say. Also the Auto Cannons sound cool, they're still somewhat faster than other ships (for the time being), and they have soul . Also, being the jack of all trades, master of none race, Matari ships are great for people with ADD.
Wait, why are we listing the positives of Matari ships? I think your thread would fill up faster by listing the weaknesses, not the strengths, lol.
Also, I'm afraid that if a dev does misclick somehow and end up in our forum, that they'll see our sad little list of things Matari ships still have going for them and take those away too 
I'm counting five threads about Minmatar ships right now on this page and only one - no, wait, there's one other puny little thread w/no replies - so two threads about the damn Pilrim now. So I think that says it all. Nerf the Matari

That's a cute idea Aleus, DOT classes have typically fared really well in all the MMOs I've played (Warlocks, anyone?). Although I won't pretend to know this game well enough yet to actually be able to judge how well something like that would work. I pretty much just know that Artillery and A/Cs are bad, and I know why... but I still have a lot to learn. So much that I feel bad even posting in these threads . Anyway, I think CCP is much more likely to attempt to fix broken mechanics, rather than introducing whole new ones. Not that they're even likely to fix them, but you know what I mean. I'm just glad that CCP has so many players who care about the game so much that they keep making these suggestions and having these discussions.

I could stop posting and have you take over by now. 
Aw shucks, thanks Astro. I have a complex about it, since I've only been playing since May and I don't really like to sound off on topics I don't know inside out. That's why I've been sticking to the off topic forum alot recently, where I can talk about things I'm more comfortable going off on about when I feel chatty. I think I've gotten a fairly good handle of what's going on in general, but alot of the practical stuff that only comes with time is missing. Btw, did you question that stuff in the other thread because of what Lyria said? I was alittle confused about it

Exactly. I was just confused by that one post and wanted to see what happened.

It's just that I find the act of calling anyone who's bound to be playing a game like EVE cute... ...cute just does not seem an... appropriate adjective. Well, not anywhere this side of Hell anyway.
Speak for yourself  I actually know two (I know TWO!) girls who play Eve - and neither of them is what you might expect (if you're imagining those geeky type girls w/no social skills and no hope ).
Anyway I'm sorry - I just HAD to respond to that one . The lateness of the hour is making me saucy ^,^ .

Well, if either of them lives in Sweden or Stockholm, feel free to tell them to call me up. Then we'll see who's surprised. For now though, I think I'll contend myself with adding you to my addressbook. It's good to have someone cute to chuckle at from time to time...
jaavla fitz svett! yeah... I'm horrible I know.  My cousin lives in Upplands Vasby and I'm Finnish (but I live in Florida). Sweden is one of the best countries in the world (but Finland is better). I feel horrible about what's happened to this thread. I guess page 35 can just be bad.

Edited by: Amandin Adouin on 04/08/2008 22:04:57 lol, Hello Kitty? This thread is becoming the place to chat about everything and anything. Everyone's doing it . Speaking of everyone, where's Boz Well? I haven't seen him around too much lately. I feel like the party isn't complete .
While you've been discussing Hello Kitty sails over here, I've been busy arguing about the fate of democracy as a whole over in the off topic forum . This seems a bit backward. Isn't the off topic forum supposed to be where you go to relax and shoot the shit after discussing important Eve issues in the ship forum?

While I like the idea of the fall-off enhancing mods that's just another slot we have give just to be competitive, and we don't really have that many to spare because of the schizo layouts of our ships.
/quick off topic note. If anyone remembers me mentioning a little argument I had with with a bestialist (animal lover)... I bid you to look at said person's newest post for a quick laugh :) If my link doesn't work, just see the third to last post in my posting history. dronelove.

Because it's a huge issue that alot of people care about? Maybe everyone doesn't want to train Amarr. Personally, I don't want to. So I guess this is the only other way to go about it.

Originally by: Cpt Branko I just hope they fix the totally murdered agilities of Minmatar ships next.
That won't happen.
I base this on nothing.
So Minmatar BS agility should be worse then everyone else bar Amarr now?
Seriously, we need lighter duct tape. 
According to the mini-dev journal, they're specifically looking into fixing agility back in some way: "The agility values are also slightly off. They were rebalanced with regard to MWD mass addition, which closed the gaps between ship types, removing uniqueness a bit. This will be fixed, also we're looking at boosting some ship classes in regards of agility."
Haha I thought you meant duct tape for Lyria. I was thinking why lighter?

Originally by: EpicFailTroll Great victory for the Minmatar Republic: removal of the MWD deactivation, thanks to the complains!
Now, it wouldve been terrible that most people went and fit ABs, giving great advantage to minmatar ships in dogfights due to superior speed and non- +500% sig? So lets remove MWD delay so everybody fits MWD again, and forces minmatar to do so, dogfighting in ducttape ships with humongous sigs.
Great going guys!
I bet no one has ever told you how much your name suits you.

You're oversimplifying the issue. There are more variables at play here than just speed. It's late though and I need to head off to bed, so I'm sorry I can't continue this discussion, maybe Liang or someone else who's still up can set you set you straight.
