Minmatar empire is based on unification of several tribes to form a government and adminstrating resource for a common goal. Their people long suffer under hostile invasion of amarr empire make their people more hardy and focus. Amarrian government that allow slavery which constant invasion to minmatar to gather slaves, makes its people will not tolerate amarr government for a long time.
Minmatar race is quite unique one possessing ship that have the agility and speed compared to all. The infamous Vagabond heavy assault cruiser is an example of their pinacle technology that enable this ship to hit and run in a very hostile space. Besides that they also possess ship that have bonus for target painting, will make it easier to hit with increase in damage. Their main weakness in some fitting that if webbed by hostile ship, their ship can go down quickly. This is due to average tanking capability either its shield or armor tank. They decrease damage by using speed and not brute force. Although this is only apply to some fitting set because i do meet some minmatar ship capable to tank quite long and good.
Their weapon of choice is the projectile based weapon. Its weapon use very low energy to a level it can be ingored for its consumption and ability to switch damage type unlike laser (EM/ Thermal damage) or hybrid (Kinetic/ Thermal damage). The downside of this weapon is their lack of damage when the pilot is low skill or use this weapon to a ship that don't have damage bonus. They also suffer from rate of fire although it do possess excellent falloff.
I have no practical experience piloting this ship but i do meet them in battle and all i can say the minmatar race ship is dangerous when fighting against. I fear their ship most compared to others.
