All those bored cross training vets and their repeated threats to send naked pics to the devs is paying off.

Threats?

Screw you Scottie, we can't undock!

Or so they say, if I may,
Having all races talking is no dismay,
Instead means they are all equal,

Why not just get rid of all the racial ships and make a frig and BS in the Gnosis flavor? Then everyone will be equal and the same. Not everyone in Eve wants all the ships to be the same. I liked the days when I could say "I am Gallente, you cannot beat my drones.".

The masterrace laughs at your drones and what you call "armor tank".

Why are ALL Caldari cruisers AND Battle Cruisers limited to 5 light drones max?

…except, of course, that Caldari were never really the missile race — their missile ships just gained a bit of prominence early on because there were two good mission ships that both used missiles.

Oh, and just because one T2 manufacturer gets its flavour tweak doesn't mean an entire race is getting the shaft.

Just like always tip.... you choose to focus on one small detail that doesn’t really matter if factual or not, and like always you seem to miss the main point the OP is making.

I really don’t believe the OP main point was or was not about Caldari missile. They just may have been trying to say something different?

I was under the impression that Multitanked Railgun Hurricanes and Shield Laser Thoraxs were the future.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

game hasn't changed all that much.

Caldari + Gallente = PVE races
Amarr + minimatards = PVP races

The ships and the races and the weapon systems don't matter,
Lock up your targets and hit F1, F2, F3 ... launch death their way
Sit back and orbit, watch your enemy splatter

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

Yup

Crows, Manticores and Scorpions are all awesome in PvE Roll

yes they are.

If that was sarcasm, you just may have to look under your table. I think it rolled off the edge there as you were typing.

I agree with the OP's sentiment, as it does seem like we're losing racial flavour in the game. When I first stated playing Gallente with microwarpdriving blaster/armour boats, now they use rails and shield tank lol. Likewise if you were in pvp you were glad you were in an Amarr ship, now you really regret it. Winmatar were just called Minmatar and Caldari ships prioritised missiles over hybrids and even though they didn't perform that well the ability to select for damage made up for it somewhat. Now there's no need to select for damage as we only have half decent performance for kinetic and almost zero performance for all others. I speak as a sympathetic Khanid.

I think we've seen a lot of dumbing down in recent years all for the sake of Pegi 12, and don't even get me started on the changes to exploration which incidentally stopped everyone exploring as on entry to a system you find everything via your survey scanner.

Eve is not the harsh mistress she was back in 2007 when I started she's mellowed and is not half as much fun, she's sad and depressed as her best days are clearly behind her, because she's taken the advice of idiots and profiteers instead of proudly continuing to do her own thing.

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

So hows the CSM answer's coming along. Got anything better to do?

Quoting "you will die" in EvE is fail Chars dont die in EvE. Unless you have a heart attack eek.
