Ships & Modules

It seems like every whiney spaz comes out of the woodwork whenever expansions are due. What's the one thing that they have in common? They all want to nerf someone they think is OP. Regardless of the facts that the things they want nerfed may have just been "balanced." They don't really care about anything being balanced. All that they want is for whatever it is that THEY fly to become the new fotm.

Instead of wanting whatever it was that touched you in your no no spot to be nerfed, maybe the community as a whole should instead focusing on balancing.

Remember the days when if you flew a Minmatar everyone laughed at you? They were balanced and now Amarr and Minmatar are on a pretty even keel. I don't fly Caldari so I can't speak for them. Gallente, however, seems to be the one most bitched about these days. I also fly Gallente and I love their "in the face" style of combat. They don't have the range of Amarr nor the gtfo ability that Minmatar has. For some people, this means that they are underpowered. While I don't agree with this, if enough people want them to be "fixed" then maybe they DO need to be fixed.

To "fix" Gallente, guess what..... you don't nerf another race! This won't fix anything, it will only leave you with two broken races. Instead focus on the two things that Gallente excel at. In the face damage and drone damage.

Don't remove Gallente's niche roll. It's a fun roll to fly. And while it might not be the easier roll to play, those who know how to play it can do amazing things with it.

Please, for the love of God, don't make every ship and every weapon system the same. That's part of what makes Eve such a great game. I like being able to have the variety that I have in this game.

That is all. Troll away all you haters. The people who actually play this game and matter know what I'm talking about.

I like these "don't nerf me bro!" threads because they are written by the kind of poster who should know better, but sperg anyway.

For the record, I give no fucks about nerfing or buffing. I've been nerf-proof for years now. If CCP wants to balance things there are obviously ways to go about doing it from both directions.

Bromance me with your sweet main dude.

The Gallente buff so far:

Blasters have 20% more tracking and 5% more damage.
Rails have 10% more damage and 5% more tracking
Less cap use.
Much friendlier fitting requirements
5 second reload on ammo
Much smaller ammo
Gallente ships are slightly more agile and faster.
T2 drone upgrades

Rumors:
Light and medium webber drones on chaos build.
Boosters on chaos build with lesser benefits but no side effects. Booster benefits include less cap useage, more optimal, more falloff, more tracking, a smaller signature radius, etc.

In short, I can see how some of these improvements would build on themselves. But are they enough? And are you willing to walk away from the table when you know CCP doesn't visit it very often?

I say let them whine great way to past time shuffling forums.

Drakes are pro, you don't know wtf is up.

omg this thread
matar qq in short : " dont nerf my precious"

"Remember the days when if you flew a Minmatar everyone laughed at you?"
no as it was never the case , they werent the best choice for everything ,not like atm
they were still the best for small gang roaming or camping

"Instead of wanting whatever it was that touched you in your no no spot to be nerfed, maybe the community as a whole should instead focusing on balancing."
imho balancing means greatly cut back matar , so they will have drawbacks too,we dont want to nerf matar , we want them not overpower the other races

"To "fix" Gallente, guess what..... you don't nerf another race!"
yes if that another race completly taken over gallente niche

grow some balls and let the opness go

"Don't remove Gallente's niche roll. It's a fun roll to fly." yeah until you try out a matar ship which does the same and much more

"Please, for the love of God, don't make every ship and every weapon system the same"
yes pls make them differ ,like gallente/blasters sux and matar/ac owns , best difference ever

"I like being able to have the variety that I have in this game."
this completly contradicts that you want to keep matar to answer every problem , now that 70% flies matar ships for pvp +some drakes and abaddons with arty lol..., yeah variety is rly noticable

"The people who actually play this game and matter know what I'm talking about."
matter ??
yeah we know you dont want to loose your op ships

Your complete lack of any punctuation or capitalization made this one of the most difficult replies I've ever had to try to read. So I didn't.

So, stop trolling then.

You are lying. You have repeatedly championed nerfing Minmatar.
