If all that ccp/csm ever comes up with is ship balancing then im going to get bored with this game before next year rolls around.
Tbh, if you don't like a ship, don't fly it. I would LOVE to see MUCH larger ship selections. And yes, you will have a few that are horribly underpowered and a few that are overpowered, but im sure someone will come up with a way to make the underpowered ship usefull. Underpowered and overpowered is just a matter of individual perception anyway. I would love to see being able to choose between 5 HACs, or 7 bs, and more diversified ship classes maybe throw in some fun stuff like mine layers and interesting stuff like that.
I think fussing with balance is futile really. Balance should create itself, period its damn near impossible to make all sides happy, especially when there are always 4 or more sides to everything. I think it was excellently put about the "eft" warrior part. Yes, your dps number may be higher than my tank number, but that doesn't mean that some other factor such as capacitor or even transversal wont play a role on how our fight goes. Eve never was, never has ben a game of "My numbers are better" It TRULY is about strategy, placement, and who shoots first (sometimes even shoots last) constantly re-balancing ships makes it more of a number game and less of a tactic game. If it becomes "I can beat you because my numbers are better" then im quitting, because there are so many strategies to avoid this. If hac x and hac y are PERFECTLY balanced then tactics, are pointless, yes they will decide who wins, but if hac x is 'less powerfull' than hac y, its a lot more fun to pvp in one of those because its more of a challenge.
Like the ferox for instance, EVERYONE tells me a horrible ship, but I saw one the other day that took on 2 Deimos and clearly had them beat just because he tanked hard enough to stay alive just long enough take one of them out of the fight. Its this kind of pvp that most people crave, myself included.
Sorry for my long-winded repeating monolouge.
