if i have 4 faction heat sinks already, should i use t2 ROF or t2 damage rig?

on my research it seems like the damage rig is better because it doesnt increase cap use. however, i have 4 faction heat sinks that give 1.125 damage modifier instead of the 1.1 (t2 heat sink) i guess the damage rig get less benefit?

So my question is will the damage rig get more penalty because i have faction heat sinks?

RoF rigs almost always will give you better DPS then damage ones. I'm sure there are times that isn't true, but I have never seen it. Anytime you put a RoF rig on you get more DPS then damage. Try it with a frigate and t1 small rigs. Only time I'd see this not working is if the ship already has unreal RofF and the rig helps little, but I haven't seen that yet.

That is because of the critical hits.

25% ROF is good for 33% more damage under optimal conditions, where 25% damage is just that.

Will the increased volley damage save you a volley? If not, then go with RoF. OTOH, if you're shooting things with a large amount of hit points, then you probably want to go with RoF.

Perspective:
Your 4th faction heat sink provides 7 more DPS over a 4th Heat Sink II.

T2 RoF provides 1040 dps versus the T2 damage rig's 1012. A difference of 28 dps or 2.8% improvement.
T2 RoF has a volley of 6521 versus the T2 damage rig's 6754. The damage rig provides 3.6% more damage per volley.

Back on sisi, it looked like the bug where "NPCs survive with a little hull left when they should have died" bug was still present.

Now if two ships undock at opposite ends of the galaxy, one traveling at 2.0 warp speed and one at 2.5 warp speed, what faction space will they be in (i.e. what color nebula) and how will that nebula color affect the light as it is blue shifted when the ships pass each other?
