Hey everybody,
In the fanfest ship balancing presentation, there was a chart shown with all the T1/T2/T3/Faction ships, colour-coded according to how CCP sees them.
Red = Broken
Yellow = Semi-broken
Green = Working as intended

Unfortunately, the names of the ships were kept hidden.
Fortunately, the structure was kept intact, allowing me to discern all of the hidden ships!

All races (hidden): http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/9098/baseao.png
Revealed Amarr chart: http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/7751/amarr.png
EDIT: Ignore the orange text about industrial ships, I accidentally misread the other charts Oops

Now then, I don't have enough time to do a fancy reveal of all the races, but the structure remains the same.
You should be able to figure out the other races for yourself!

Here are some very quick insights, from the other races:
Tengu: Working as intended
Proteus: Broken
Loki: Semi-broken
All Black Ops ships: Broken
Falcon: Semi-broken
All tier-1 battlecruisers: Semi-broken

So, what do you think about CCP's opinion of the current ship balance? It's all subject to change, so share your thoughts.

Wondered why they needed a panel to tell everyone what they already knew.

So apparently the Merlin is broken but the-

/suddenly Kestrels, hundreds of them.

It's very funny that Naglfar is marked as OK.

I don't quite understand how they missed the Nid and Chimera, they really aren't even close to equal.

I don't see the issue with the normal Omen. At low skills you can run a 4-turret config, then at higher skills graduate to a 5-turret setup (5 high-end Beams can be tricky IIRC). I grew into that ship rather nicely actually.

Same with the Sigil. Smaller and agile, a nice step down from an Impel if you're just doing casual shuffling things about (like a bunch of P1s from a planet). And it was free if you did the career tutorials. What's not to like?

Maller and Aug I can understand being a problem. Never seen much of a use for those.

Hmm, supercarriers and titans: only half-broken. Not bad.

Its a bit interesting they consider all the marauders to be fine.

With the coming drone changes i see them losing what little value they have now.

There are several drone user buffs coming, but I'm guessing he refers to the introduction of salvage drones.

There are several changes to drones, but the ones that are relevant to marauders are salvage drones.

The chart was definitely made prior to the AF buff. They have the Harpy as "broken" and I doubt they mean it in the "OMGLOLOP" way that it is now.

The ones i were referring too was the addition of a bounty to the drones.
