it's a common thing among game developpers. they always sabotage their own game because they make their favourites alot stronger... Roll

Alas, 'tis the way of things.

Pretty sure they like Minmatar and dislike Caldari.

See for proof the completely ineffectual HAC changes (Eagle still doesn't know what it's doing, railguns confirmed for worse off than before due to upcoming tracking nerf), the lack of effort put into Command Ships (Especially Caldari- again, the weakest faction going in, weakest faction coming out. Issues with the Drake and it's kinetic damage exclusivity are inherited by the Nighthawk, it's slot layout is utter trash, it barely knows what it's doing), the mangling of the Raven into a role that is ALMOST useful but then STILL eclipsed by the Typhoon (lol status quo)...

Though unusually, Caldari frigates and T1 cruisers aren't all that bad.

Well they got busted for cheating in their own game a couple times, nearly caused a revolt by going pay-to-win, have managed to break game balance over and over, can't seem to fix 8-yr old bugs, etc. From what I've read and seen myself, their hardly the top of the heap in MMO design and support.

Actually you may be onto something. It wouldn't shock me if most of the devs played Caldari when the game first started. Would explain a lot.

All I know is that I can still do any L4 in a Caldari BS..I couldn't say that about other races a year ago and doubt I could say it today. If I bother to stick around in EVE this time I'll probably be in a Tengu like everyone else before long. Even with damage nerfs or whatever their still the best..none of that "optimal range" crap to deal with and tracking weapons + passive shield tank are still PVE autowin. I'm sure that PVP is a different ball game but I have no interest there. What I don't get is why CCP doesn't balance the factions so that each of them is a little better in certain types of missions rather than one faction being superior in ALL of them. Either the devs aren't capable or balancing their game or this is how they want things...and if its the latter I'd love to know why.

CCP loves winmatar, the most primitive race is the best at everything. Caldari regularly get the shaft, gallente has had some love thanks to CCP employing a gallente dev. Amarr are really unloved and now are reluctantly being looked at only in response to 300+ page in the features and ideas section.

Dumbing down of Eve Online will result in it's destruction...
