It takes the data from all ships involved in a kill I believe, so that is about as comprehensive as you can get.

Interesting, but I wish I could see a damage done statistic instead because I can shoot at something with blasters to get on the KM that doesnt mean I applied any damage.

True but the reality is that it would be hard to fudge the results in such a large number.

I'm sure CCP could do their own check but the fact still remains hybrids currently lack the range and DPS of all weapons in eve.

DPS needs to be added to Rails and range to Blasters.

If you take the ship statistics and stand it next to the weapons statistics, it adds up. The only inconsistency I can spot is the heavy neutron blasters, which can be explained by multiple different hulls using it but not making it on the top 20. (Vigilants and whatnot)

Sometimes they are ignored because they are no threat

Cynabal was FOTM about 7-8 months ago. Its now fairly standard.

Just a small insight : A railfit Ferox will now be better than a AutoCannon Ferox and with blasters actually bite stuff unfortunate to be within range Woohoo.
That is 1 ship that I personally will consider a healthy choice for caldari pilots in the future.

Most likely the Moa might be viable too but I haven't done any comparisons on it.

The big fail is that people are building hybrid fits in EFT and are happy about the numbers that look pretty good.
But EFT just doesn't take into account that you never will deploy your theoretical maximum damage becouse of range, tracking, sig radius and so on.
The only way to find out what will make more damage in this case (ferox rail or ferox AC) is to fit the ship and do some pvp tests vs a friend or corp mate.

That was a few nasty comments showcasing a lot of assumptions without any arguments of why my statement would be wrong - I just said a Ferox finally works better with hybrids than it does with Autocannons...
They will still be different and you can find advantage and disadvantage everywhere, but plz show me why a Ferox shouldn't be viable with rails or blasters with the current changes?

I didn't say the current changes were perfect. The ammo is still screaming for a revamp and the hybrids seems to lack a final touch, but the current changes gets us far in many ships...

if you want to use hybrids so badly. move to wormhole space where every wh aka gate spawns your target with in wb/scram range of you.

lotsa QQ in this thread. keep using AC's if you hate the range so badly
