EVE General Discussion

Does CCP favor Caldari and dislike Gallente? It just seems like Caldari is so much better in PVE than the other races and Gallente is so much worse at....pretty much everything. They keep gimping hybrids and drones which only makes Gallente that much weaker. I've been to Jita twice since coming back to EVE and I've seen very few Gallente ships..in fact I haven't seen a single Dom or Myrm, and that's NEVER happened before. It tells me that people could be starting to give up on Gallente.

Whatever race you play as is the least favourite of CCP and whatever race you don't is their favourite.

CCP is a business.

It has most favourite monthly revenue and least favourite monthly revenue.

I too have never seen a Dominix.. not even once on the way to Jita!

Should buff hybrids to make the Dominix and Myrmidon exceptional again.

ccp helps the goons out, all i know

What?
Since when are Caldari best for PvE? I mean Tengus are alright, but as a faction they don;t exactly have the full compliment of ships. Missiles truly suck nowadays. Drakes used to be the thing for PvE, OK damage, good defense. Now they are as big as a battleship, slow as an Exhumer and by the time your first volley of missiles hit, a hurricane could have ripped the enemy to pieces.

Here's an example of the difference at the low end. I started 2 new characters, 1 Caldari, and 1 Minmatar. I was working up their standing so I did the SOE epic. Each char had about a week of combat training in their race. I did the caldari chars epic first. Now I've done the epic many times, so I took a destroyer which usually does the trick. By on of the last missions, I couldn't break the enemy tank with missiles. I had to send the other character over ins a slasher (A SLASHER!) to help out and she dusted the enemy off in no time.

Caldari are not only a pain to use in PvE, but because missile skills only affect missiles, all of the Caldari training is wasted time if you later choose to switch factions. Whereas all the others share gunnery skills, so you only lose time on the weapon specific skills.

Gellente are not too bad in PvE, but you need to fit right and use the right tactics. Gallente tend to excel more in PvP. A Dual Dominix setup however is a highly effective PvE setup, and there are others that can be good.

Oh, and Jita is Caldari central, so you are more likely to see Caldari ships there. Try Dodixie.

ccp only like the Jovian race.

They fly Jove ships or Jove tech ships
They live in Jove space

They only come out when they want to promote somthing and from what i gather they fly vindies etc

The Majority of players, spends their time in Caldari space, in Caldari space, Caldari ships are best ( they are kinda build to deal with the environment they are made in ).

For example, the rats in Caldari space, most of all HATE taking Kinetic damage and Kinetic damage is what most Caldari ships have bonus towards.

Now seriously, have a look at the following match-up.

Blaster fitted Proteus vs missile Tengu.

Who wins most likely?
Hint, the Proteus will **** the Tengu, all things being equal.

With remaps it really doesn't matter any more. Unless you're talking about the first week or two on a brand new character only.

Oh yes, those poor Gallente. How will they ever deal...
