Oh i understand and agree with the notion that every race should have a flavor(s) that makes it unique. However the complete lack of drone bays on several caldari t2s goes too far imo. Drones are more than just additional dps these days and I don't see why the Cerberus doesn't have the same drone bay as the Caracal. It wouldn't in any way infringe on the Gallente's drone-centric fleet to leave small drone bays on those caldari ships.
So what would you propose they take away from the ship to give it a drone bay? |

I think you missed the entire point of Caldari and their philosophy of warfare, so I'll say it here:
Caldari are all about specialization and long range engagements, with emphasis on shield systems and electronic warfare for defense and long range missile systems/railguns for offense. There is very little emphasis on drones or armor or speed. If you don't like the Caldari philosophy you are more than able to train up for another race that suits your needs.

So, you're telling me its a surprise to you that a sniper boat at long range with poor tracking can't kill a tackler? Neither can any other sniper ship for that matter; I really can't see what the complaint is. Maybe you didn't read what I posted, so I'll repost it for your convenience:

All I'm reading is "Caldari ships should all have drones because I said so!" without giving a good reason why. All ships are balanced with everything in mind, including drone bays. If you give ships without drone bays some bandwidth CCP will take something else from the ship, be it a bonus, powergrid, cpu, whatever it might be. People would whine and cry if the falcon got it's optimal ECM bonus taken away and given a 25m^3 drone bay instead. A 10 MBit bandwidth on a ship isn't going to save you from a tackler, and you aren't going to get a dronebay added without something taken away. The only reason Caldari have a drone bay on a ship is if it compliments that ship's niche role.

As opposed to Gallente who are gimped at everything but short range? Minmatar who are gimped at everything but mid-close range? Amarr who are gimped at everything but mid range?
