I'm told the reworked Harpy looks quite promising also.

The Eagle is still terrible however.

Medium hybrids in general still seem pretty weak, but my exposure thus far has been 90% with rails so I can't really speak toward med blaster effectiveness.

Missiles, Missiles, Missiles, Missiles, Missiles, Missiles, Missiles, Missiles, Missiles, and just for the record missiles. Hope this helped! Cool

My old main was 100+mil in caldari, mostly missiles with small rail spec on the side. I got completely annoyed with counting missile volleys in pve and getting stuck in nothing but drake fleets for pvp. Turned the corner early last year and trained up some amarr skills. Best decision I ever made, tbh. The sansha ships were a nice transition while I got my armor tanking skills up to snuff.

Don't cross train, sell your character to me and buy one that is cross trained! Twisted

But seriously... characters without mindless cross training are fairly unique these days, now that everyone has trained for abaddons, hurricanes, drakes, and gallente caps.

I'm in the same jam as OP, but I'm Gallente training to Caldari.

Only problem is how far do I take my missiles? What's just not worth having? Defender Missiles is an obvious one but I'm thinking that I'd rather use missiles as a supplementary weapon, up close and personal.

Other than that, am I completely wrong in just focussing on unguided missiles? Or should I dabble? Experiment with what's best from others experience.

Rail Rokh on the other hand is proving very satisfactory.

The exact lukewarm verbiage I would use to describe it.

Rails are now more acceptable. They aren't good, but they're no longer unabashedly horrific. Given the choice, they should still be the absolute last weapon system one trains, imho.
