These are medium rails. People have been asking for a medium rail buff since forever.
I seriously doubt he's going to buff large rails. Most likely those aren't going to get touched at all. They're pretty balanced currently.

(Also, medium beam lasers need a buff too)

Still can't track a battleship w/o a prop mod, unless that also gets addressed.

Cant wait to play with my 200mm rail Ferox after the buff.... ooooooh tingles.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

This is true, smalls and heavies and capitals haven't been addressed specifically.

This smells like a total rail re-balance to me though...

If medium rails are getting a 30% DPS both then maybe larges might see 10% or something instead, or none at all. This remains to be seen...

Rokh fleets. Mega fleets.

Rails everywhere.

The rokh is already my favourite ship to fly, if they buff all rails it will be even better! All hail the Rokh!

It's specifically a medium rail buff. Large rails are already the choice weapon in bloc warfare. The Rokh in particular, is the premiere battleship of the line for most alliances. Medium rails are ******* atrocious though but I doubt they make it through with the ~40% buff they have now.

Well the Rokh at least for the CFC was mostly an alphafleet alternative for people who didn't want to use the Maelstrom. The coalition doctrine is now the rail Mega, probably owing to the fact that armor tackle is far more durable than shield tackle. However for RAZOR and several other alliances the rail Naga has been and continues to be extremely powerful in its own right.

Any buff to large rails would put them over the top.

If we wondered why CCP doesn't understand why Gallente was that terrible, got a bit better and still needs some attention, now we now why.

If I undock with my ship full skills no implants and says 300dps (just for numbers) I have to assume CCP reads 600.

I thought they used roman numbers like us and had same significance, apparently it doesn't. Does anyone have a numbers translator so I can figure out how much dps my Megathron does in CCP numbers?

Lol

Large rails numbers seem ok, it's the ammo that needs some attention now imho

Well, even a WoW newbie to EvE could figure that out.

Took but a couple to missions to see that hybrids have worse DPS than healers can dish out. Ugh

Gallente's need for drones to make up for the lack of firepower was probably CCP's idea in keeping rails nerfed (which would make them OP at range). Since Caldari and Minmatar has missiles not a huge loss of firepower (but limits the factions what ships they can fly). Due to those mechanics is why I never touched their ships. It's like playing a Hunter in WoW, and if that's not how you like to play, Gallente wouldn't be appealing anyhow (still won't touch their ships with the buff. Duck tape is better still!).

Nobody cares about your class preference in WoW, or how it somehow correlates to what you think Gallente ships are capable of (because: you're wrong.)

With T2 rig, implants and officer mag stabs can it be pushed to 419 DPS before overheat.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.
