For letting hookbill be a flexible ship because all the other races have a turret based military faction frig, hookbill being missiles only is a let down cause it should have 3 turrets with bonuses to turret damage so people that want to fly turret caldari navy frigate can use it for turrets. |

Then you could run 3 missile launchers and get bonus or 3 turrets and get bonus.
I think part of the reason for this is the other 3 factions focus on turret weapons with drones and missiles as an afterthought on most hulls, drone based ships not included.
The Caldari State however has multiple missile bonused hulls, and are the only faction who really use them as a mainstay, as such the hookbill falls in line with standard caldari shield/ missile doctrines rather than attempting to utilize railguns or blasters. Which also makes it more unique in those terms of layout and how it is different from everyone else.

Caldari are the premier missile faction. Leave the hookbill as is. |

Because as a rule most Caldari Hybrid boats fall well short of the Galente but the missile boats are able to keep up. |

Yup, Caldari's primary is missiles. If you want hybrids fly a comet.

If you are counting on the Firetail's launcher to do something meaningful...I think you are fitting the ship incorrectly? Its only bonused for projectiles, and the comet is only bonused for hybrids?
The four navy frigates are among the best balanced set of 4 ships vs each other in the game at the moment. Hookbill has brawly rocket options and kitey LML options. Firetail can brawl or kite. Comet can brawl or kite. The only one that cannot do both (well) is the slicer...but thats pretty endemic to Amarr these days; they are a now a kiting race, not a slow brawly armor race. Part of that is that brawling is dead, and part of that is the ships have exceptionally good kiting fits.
