Ships & Modules

So, I like the Hookbill. It looks good, it's not terribly slow, and it's not a paper cannon (More like a Granite Spoon). The problem is, you either put Rockets on it and generally suck at everything, or put Light Missiles on it and never kill anything, because you don't have a long point and you're too slow to get in to Scram range.
+12 CPU and +7 PG to it would allow it to fit a Meta 4 Long Point and MWD alongside Light Missiles, at maxed skills you would still require +1% PG and CPU implants, anything below that would require +3% implants (Well, unless i counted wrong, which is possible), but it would actually make it better than a Merlin. Faction ships are meant to be better than tech 1, right?

Should that happen, it would be a better generalist ship than the Hawk, due to its multiple Damage type bonuses, but weaker as a Specialist PvP ship. In addition, it would become a great weapon for Caldari Faction Warfare.

But honestly i just want Navy ships buffed because they look the coolest.

bad DPS (80) but 50km range. 3200 MS - both 20k and 7.5 disruptor with a web and an MSE II

I don't see what you problem is.

P.s.

The above fit is pointless anyway, use rockets and kit at 7k/m for easy wins...

The fit looks great, almost as much DPS as a Caldari Recon =)

First is a fairly standard dual web fit, it is the fit that made the hookbill famous. Can be done cheaper and will beat p.much any frig it can hold at 8km and can run from the ones that can still hit it ala. Wolf. The second I have been using pretty regularly and works well as the anti tackle frig like the old ranis but with a bit more survivability 7k ehp

No.

The two best AFs are arguably the vengeance and hawk. Both rocket boats. Since the buff rockets are pretty great. You don't have any tracking to worry about. They hit beyond scram range. You can select any damage type you want. The only downside is that you pretty much need a web to apply your damage. The hookbill has plenty of mids for one or two webs.

OP, asking for a buff in order to make a particular fit that you yourself wish was possible is generally a bad argument. Sure I might like to fit Tachyons on a Geddon or 1400s on a Phoon, but that is really not what those boats were designed for. Do you recognize your mistake yet?
