Originally by: Liang Nuren Wait, you're serious? You're saying the top wingy bit that's like 2mm thick is what makes the Tempest so heavy? seriously?
Damn and I thought you were just ****ing about with us trying to concoct a cool excuse for the Raven to be lighter! Apparently my ******ed poster meter really needs adjusted. ;-)

Yeah and it's not 2mm thick and it sure as hell isn't made out of tin cans, otherwise it would come off the second you go faster than 5m/s. _ Hooray for shitty marketing moves.

OK, CCP appears to be trying to balance BSs using mass. Always has been tinkered with.
If you look at the backstory and mods in-game you will see that the different races use different types of armor. Leaves some wiggle room for racial mass differences. It's the weight/protection efficency of the armor types as well as the size of a ship that goes into mass.
However, adding mass to a tier 1 Typhoon, such that it weighs more than a teir 2 Tempest, and a Raven ?!! is just stupid. Typhoon has a crap hp total amount and distribution per its slot layout and a split weapon bonus (really amounting to only one bunus). Sure there is still the large dronebay so that with much training of all 3 weapon systems you can up the dps to a respectable level.
But, what is wrong CCP with leaving it its signature attribute, being the most agile and speedy BS? What possible backstory or in-game physics justification is there for making it a brick now?

Originally by: goodby4u Yeah and I want my sp replaced for amarr a year ago, and for amarr 3 years ago and...
Well you get my point.
Amarr is awsome now actually.
So sidus and me are very glad that they didnt reimburse our amarr sp back then. See where Im going with this? ----------------------------------------- [Video] Support Barrage |

shield tanked minmatar ships for the win... lol sure speed tank is minmatar's "thing" and sure nano noobs will cry BUT SHIELD TANK DAT SHIT i fly 4 minmatar ships and sofar have seen no effect in my gameplay know why I SHIELD TANK pay attention and learn #1 Jaguar (assault frigate) passive shield tanked to kill smaller amarr ships and for missioning #2 Stiletto (intercepter) this nerf actually helps cepters that are used for tackle and ew because other ships cant catch it #3 Tempest (battleship) Perma Shield Tanked not dealing with nano or speed #4 Maelstrom (battleship) same as tempest
I have seen no real differences after the nerf sure like 2 m/s less when im traveling around wahh DEAL WIFF IT and stop crying

Yeah and it's not 2mm thick and it sure as hell isn't made out of tin cans, otherwise it would come off the second you go faster than 5m/s.
Actually, given that it's in space which is for all intents and purposes in this argument a vacuum devoid of matter the absolute speed is of no consequence to the structural integrity of the ship and it's components. The only real problem involves any change in vector thanks to our good friend inertia.
But, it should be noted that inertia clearly either doesn't exist in Eve or special components allow it to be ignored. The acceleration the modern (nano age specific) interceptor can achieve would in fact be lethal to the occupants of the ship, and that's assuming the ship itself can be made out of the magical material required to withstand the stresses of manevers in excess of several hundred sustained g's.
My point is, while reality and physics might be a fun topic of conversation, they clearly have no bearing on Eve. Either the ships are simply capable of ignoring inconvient laws of physics when need be, or those laws simply don't exist in the game.
