I think I'm going to go and post this in al;l the missile whine threads, because TBFH it needs to be said:
Well let's look at the nerfs and some buffs of the last year or so, and see how caldari compares to other races:
Tier II BCs introduced, caldari and gallente both get a BC capable of fielding >BS sized tanks. Nice Buff IMO (though they later get nerfed a bit, they still field awesome tanks)
Nos nerf. Affects everyone but mostly the gallente with their nos Domis.
Drone bandwidth. Gallente get a huge nerf that hits 2 of their best ships (Eos and Myrmi) Required? Of course, but the nerf was over the top. The ishkur also took a beating with this one.
Drone shield recharge nerf. Gallente get hit really hard with this one as recalling/relaunching drones is no longer very viable.
First nano nerf. Nanophoons and nanodomis are no more. Gallente and minmatar get nerfed.
I know at some point the calldari recons got boosted, though I don't remember exactly how Razz If someone can point out the change to me that'd be appreciated.
Resistance nerf. Armor lost some EM, shields lost some explosive, everyone gets nerfed.
Torp Buff. All of a sudden the raven becomes a very viable option in pvp. A raven + a tackler is a dangerous combination when the raven can easily hit >1k DPS
Sensor damps reduced massively in effectiveness (by about 50%) HUGE gallente recon nerf.
Second nano nerf. Many matari (as well as some gallente + amarr) ships become far less useful in pvp.
Those who were paying attention earlier may have noticed that drone boats got nerfed pretty hard a while back. But blaster ships are still viable in pvp!
Oh wait...
Web nerf. Blaster boats do not have the optimal to work without a good web. The web reduction results in a required tracking several times greater then before, and much more then blasters have.
The missile nerf. The raven is no longer the powerhouse of mission running.
I'm pretty sure that caldari have had it easy for quite some time now, it amazes me how quickly people complain the instant CCP changes their PVE boats. You'll get used to it, it's not like you're competing against other people in the mission...
And as far as PvP goes, Torp raven is still awesome, all ECM ships are as well, and I will be soon flying a blasteRokh as it'll be one of the few blaster boats with the range to track targets.
Everyone gets nerfed, the ships are far from useless. There will still be more caldari pilots and caldari raven mission runners then any other race, and the price on CNRs is a hundred freaking mil higher then the navythron...
This is the first nerf felt by mission runners in years, which is why we're seeing so much complaining, eventually they will realize that the sky is not, in fact, falling and we will all resume our normal eve lives. |
