A Comprehensive Missile Balance Package
(In addition to the proposed Aegis changes.)

Remove Kinetic Pigeon Holes
• Condor gets a +10% damage bonus to rockets and light missiles
• Buzzard gets a +5% damage bonus to rockets and light missiles
• Hookbill gets a +20% damage bonus to rockets and light missiles
• Hawk gets a 10% damage bonus to rockets and light missiles
• Corax gets a +5% damage bonus to rockets and light missiles
• Flycatcher gets a +10% damage bonus to rockets and light missiles
• Cerberus gets a +5% damage bonus to light, heavy and heavy assault missiles
• Onyx gets a +5% damage bonus to light, heavy and heavy assault missiles
• Rook gets a +7.5% damage bonus to light, heavy and heavy assault missiles
• Navy Osprey gets a +10% damage bonus to light, heavy and heavy assault missiles
• Drake gets a +5% rate of fire bonus to heavy and heavy assault missiles (it's already benefiting from the 5% heavy missile buff); this makes it comparable to the Raven in terms of relationship between Battlecruisers and Battleships.
• Nighthawk gets a +7.5% damage bonus to heavy and heavy assault missiles
• Tengu Accelerated Ejection subsystem gets a +5% missile damage bonus

Nerf Light Missiles; Buff Rockets; Buff Heavy Missiles; Buff Torpedoes; Buff Heavy Assault Missiles
• Swap the explosion velocity bonus between rockets (+20m/sec) and light missiles (-20m/sec)
• In addition to the 5% damage buff to heavy missiles, decrease the explosion radius on all heavy missiles by -5m and increase the explosion radius on all heavy missiles by +10m/sec.
• All torpedoes receive a -33% reduction in explosion radius (which gives them slightly better damage application over cruise missiles)
• All heavy assault missiles receive a +20% increase to explosion velocity and -5m reduction in explosion radius

Nerf Bomber Capacity
• Reduce cargo capacity by 50-100m3 (torpedoes just received a huge volume reduction and their damage application is increasing quite significantly)

New Faction Missile Modules
• Mordu's Legion Ballistic Control System: 15% missile ROF, 7.5% missile damage
• Dread Guristas Ballistic Control System (updated): 12.5% missile ROF, 10% missile damage
• Mordu's Legion Missile Guidance Enhancer: 5% explosion velocity, 5% explosion radius, 15% missile velocity, -15% missile flight time
• Caldari Navy Missile Guidance Computer: 7.5% explosion radius, 7.5% explosion velocity, 7.5% missile velocity, 7.5% missile flight time
• Republic Fleet Missile Guidance Computer: 7.5% explosion radius, 7.5% explosion velocity, 7.5% missile velocity, 7.5% missile flight time
(At least the addition of Faction modules will offset the recent MGC/MGE 'nerf'.)

Mordus Legion Ship Changes
• All missile damage bonuses for Mordu's Legion ships change to ROF bonuses. This results in a slight nerf to the Orthrus when utilizing RLMLs and a slight buff to the Barghest when utilizing torpedoes or cruise missiles.

Missile Naga
• The Naga gets reverted back to a missile Battlecruiser (yes, it was a missile behemoth to begin with): 5% torpedo and cruise missile damage and 10% missile velocity per level.

Or to swap out a PWNAGE for, really.

Do you mean +30/-30 m/s for rockets and light missiles? That torpedo buff would be reverted very quickly because it is too strong. I would honestly love to see a missile buff, but buffing medium and large missiles would cause more problems than they solve. When you buff missiles too much, they hit everything too well. The damage function needs to change.

I do not think a missile Naga is a good idea when the only way to effectively apply missile damage is with a web or two. Also, increasing explosion velocity does not help as much as you would think.
