I make it simple to the naysayers.
LAsers have the longest short-range weapons because they have the shortest long-range weapons. Its that simple, no really it is.
Lasers have high capacitor use because CCP decided to "build-in" a damage bonus to lasers. It would be the same thing as if they boosted hybrids by 25% dmg base, cut their tracking by 37.5%, and then gave all gallente boats a 7.5% tracking/lvl bonus.
Lasers have high fittings because CCP wanted to limit these weapons to amarrian laser-boats. The cap penalty wasn't enough, and because of the built-in damage bonus, other ships could fit them for great damage. Imagine if Hybrids had their 25% damage bonus attached to them, just as I described above. What in the world would stop amarr from fitting hybrids to everything?
If you can grasp what I just said, try re-reading the original post again. You might discover that my chart has merit.

Except the damage boost, that is excactly what they did do to rails. Rails have horrid tracking and the gallante hybrid gun platforms have a 7.5% tracking bonus because of it. ___ P.S. Post with your main. Mind control and tin hats |

rails tracking is better than arti tracking.

You are just wrong
Originally, fitting was what was designed to keep people from fitting lasers.
However, because hit points were low, and multipule heat sinks were not as penalized as they were today, people were fitting lasers on their ships because range was more important than damage.
E.G. if ships had 100 hit points and there were two weapons, one that did 50 damage every 5 seconds from 10km and one that did 100 dps from 1km. Which would be better? Well, if it took >1 second to close then the one that did half the dps would be better.
Now if ships had 1000 hit points the one that did 100 dps would be better so long as it took < 10 seconds to close 10km.
And, as heat sinks didnt stack as they do currently, that Amarr could fit more of them[more lows] took that damage advantage and extended it.
So the cap use bonus was implemented to keep other ships from using lasers.
Then we had a few hit point increases and the stacking nerf and radio got nerfed hard, and eanms were added.

Isnt that comparison a bit odd. First you claim the ROF bonus for minmatar is to make up for the low damage and the capbonus for the high capusage.
But than you dont compare 1 gun on the typhoon (just ROF bonus) with the apoc (just the capbonus). No you compare the tempest (damage + rof bonus) with a just-capbonus-ship. You should have compared the tempest versus armageddon tbh.

Geddons with 8 heat sinks were sweet back then. They could one salve absolutely anything...
