I feel blasters need to do more damage so they can deal faster in their relative ranges compared to AC's. An agility buff is good news, as is the speed buff, as damage projection is somewhat easier with the changes. However, even considering damage projection, the TTK of blasters compared to other weapon systems is too long, especially when those comparisons are done when the blaster boats are within their optimal range. Considering that these comparisons don't even take into account travel time into optimal range for blaster boats, and yet blaster boats are still losing out, I feel that justifies an increase to blaster damage, to lower the TTK.

Railguns T2 "spike" ammo could do with a +10% multiplier on damage too. This would make rails a competitive alternative for sniper ships; extreme range, lesser damage than its peers, but not too low.

I fly Gallente ships.

no changes in current consumption?

Close range ammo you can actually use at close range? Who are you and what did you do to the real CCP?

Also, this was mentioned ages ago, but the names of Spike and Javelin are counterintuitive.

question if the shi[ps are faster and more agile wont that mean they will orbit faster thus meaning they would need even more tracking? something tells me 20% is not close enough...

plus the eagle is still going to be the worst hac... so what you go from 190 dps at 160km with spike to 209 dps at 160km... its still chipping paint at that range...

spike needs a boost aswell!

Wait a second.
If this dev blog about how poor was gallente compared to minmatar in the past and now you are boosting feds AND minnies at the same time, does it mean that gallente still sucks my long howitzer barrel?

ps: in before whine proposal about addition of explosive lazors.

Woot! Gallente weaponry finally mean something in combat, hooray CCP!
Now, when are my 6m in drone SP going to mean something? :P

Well, if the weapons were good, and the ships were bad... Wouldn't we be seeing people employing hybrids on non-Gallente vessels?

It seems to be more the case that people are avoiding using the weapon systems themselves as much as possible, rather than the ships.

I'm not exactly sure if this is enough. But it's a start.

Not wanting to rain on your much appreciated parade, just wanting to make sure it does what it's supposed to do (because I like the changes for the most part): You guys realize, that "higher agility" means a >lower< agility modifier in your equations and data-base, right? The data we got from the SiSi files had it exactly the other way around, lowering agility by increasing the agility mod on those ships you named...
