Just my two ISK. Take it or leave it.
In all honesty, watching Caldari get neutered ridiculously is one of my main reasons why I left Dust alone for an extended period of time. I pushed all my cores to lvl 5. Made sure my shield and regen were at 5. As time passed Cal tech became just unreliable in the field. Math really does nothing for the actual. Before I stopped playing, I was told that Cal are long range fighters. That they were quick hitters. Basically a Muhammad Ali styled merc. So I tried that, despite battles being in your face. Oh look, they say my RR is too strong and needs more kick, so guess what? I got a wild stallion in my hands that isn't tamed enough for long range which forces me to draw nearer. Oh my shields! Now they are depleting fast because I'm getting into the thick of things. I am told to hide and recover but suppressive fire basically mutes me. Shield regens, stick neck out for half a second in the twitch shooter battlefield, forced to regen again while enemy pushes forward to gain ground and corner.
It is the unfortunate truth. The Caldari are a minority and their support system on the forums mirror such. Cal tech is hysterically limited. We had decent weapons that gave us a chance and the forums screamed in horror. How ironic since our Cal brothers and sisters faced weapons that chewed our defenses like piranhas and we dealt with that for so long. God forbid we get an edge. CalSen comes along and oh no, its far too damaging yet a GalSen was Freddy Kreuger stalking you. Anything Caldari has been reduced to punchlines. So I had to stop playing for a while. I took my rite of passage and kept pushing. Then It was our time to shine and they couldn't swallow the same pill.
There's no reason why Caldari should be gimped so horrifically. Math doesn't do it any justice. The armor based majority on the forums don't do it any justice. The false application of long range fighter doesn't mean squat in the battlefield. Make the shields tougher. Lower the ridiculous kick on RR. Tell the naysayers to HTFU. Caldari shouldn't have been gimped because GD couldn't handle what they dish out.
