I don't think 100 year old technology in the world 20.000 years into the future, given the level of technological advancement we have in EVE would be considered obsolete, if you pull it in parallel with real life military technology.
Given the insane technological development in the last century, there's still 100 years old pieces of hardware being successfully used all around the world. Not to mention a bullet still uses the same technology that's even older than that.


During World War I, the height of naval power was the dreadnought -- when the namesake for this type of ship (the HMS Dreadnought) was built, it immediately made all other warships obsolete by virtue of its heavy guns and heavy armor rendering the lighter guns on most pre-1906 warships unable to sink it and its kin.

During World War II, battleships quickly became obsolete for nearly everything but commerce raids and offshore bombardment, as aircraft carriers could sink them long before they even got close to being in range for their guns.

Clearly, the pace of technological change is not quite the same in the Eve universe, but 100 years is a long time, and new technologies can introduce huge paradigm changes in every part of society.

Despite being on the back foot to the Federation due to Heth's leadership, it's still the belief of most military analysts that the Caldari Navy would, with the right leadership, be capable of defeating any of the other three Navies.

The only thing that the Amarr have over them really, is sheer tonnage in terms of numbers and some of the oldest and most experienced military leaders in the cluster.



Military analyst, military smanalst. They got owned and are still getting owned. Proof is in the pudding and talk is cheap.

We should force Faction warfare pilots to only use their own faction ships and see who comes out on top.

Some of us already do. :P

Also, the militias aren't the navies. The two are completely different. Success in the WZ doesn't say anything about how capable the navies are since they're not the ones fighting it.
