garmon is special.

not short-bus special, but god-like special

you don't use garmon as a comparision point. he could solo a vaga with a probe.

The blaster mega was a small gang/solo pvp BS that traded the utility of the domi for higher damage back in the days.

With the changes of QR late in 2008 it became practical useless for this role by his inability to project damage at close range, the web/scram changes that made it a comedy killmail in 1oX and vs undersized stuff and his low speed. Even before this, a amarr BS could deal nearly the same damage, with a better tank and a lot more range. The saving grace of the mega was the higher speed and better solo ability, till QR where nearly all traditional turret BS became undesirable for this kind of game play. Today a nano pest performs a lot better in the role that was filled by the mega once, since it offers the speed, gank and enough range to reduce his tracking issues to archive a high applied DPS. Even if it had a 90% web what would allow proper damage projection and the ability to pin stuff down at point blank it would be still far to slow and short on DPS(to be fair this even was the case in 2008) to make it a sensible choice for solo/small gang pvp again.

It also was used as a rail sniper back in the days, however the changes to lasers made it a questionable choice for DPS and it isn't even a option in the world of swift tracking med range puls setups and alpha based fights today by his very low alpha.

The only refuge today are basically undock points in Empire wars where the low speed and range are not much of a issue.

There are plenty of good pilots in EVE. The trick really is to know your opponent, and exploit ther weaknesses, combined with some persitance, patience, experience and a tad of lucky. As such praising one pilot into the sky is quite silly, altohugh mentioned pilot is quite good sicne he has dedicated the time to become good.

This

Geddon will apply it's max dps at over 40km with pulse/scorch

Mega will "run forest, run" after the geddon because peeps say so, oc it has millions of hull ehp and it's faster than any double prop dramiel.

That's why nobody want's them in fleets, they're far too good.
Ho and that's why nobody wants them in gangs, they're too fast and sign tank better than every ahac

Yes looks fine, yes you can push over 125K ehp without slaves maxed skills and still keep at least 1mfs (ho dear too much deepeeass).
Does it makes it the best solo pvp bs? OC not
The best solo pvp BS out there is, and will be for a long time, the Drake

I'd also like to point out that the specific damage application of blaster/rails is non existent. Projectiles can select damage type (EM, Kinetic, Thermal, Explosive). Hybrids can select range..that's pretty much it.

A gallente changes damage types by switching drones. Noone ever uses any drone types other than hobgoblins and warriors (unless its ECM and then its too late). So, this is another reason why blaster boats blow.

If the Mega boni were for projectiles or lasers, would it become a good BS again? So is the only problem the weapon system?

Well, yes. Fitting lasers on the Mega without a bonus adressing their cap usage would be a failure.
On the other side an AC-Mega, with the damage and tracking boni for projectiles instead of hybrids should work out fine (im sure there would be some enjoying tracking like a boss).

However, the point is: would it be sufficient just to take care of the weapons, or does the Mega need some changes itself for catching up with the others, too?
