Vulture with 4x 250mm rails (only 4 because of 3 links) with spike m does 73 (!) DPS with an optimal 146km and 15km falloff (maximum skills). Only a moron will sacrifice most of his slots on a commad ship for range modules and multpile sensor boosters in order to bring that 73 DPS to a 250km target. Ask yourself who's the one here who doesn't understand the game mechanics. You have to learn that command ships have their specific roles, and that roles are for sure not to be the damagedealers.

And once again, you're wrong.

1) You only want to fit one module, shield resists. The other two shield mods are useless in larger fleets, and the other gang mods are useless without the appropriate mindlink. That leaves 5x gun slots, even if you decide to fit a second one for whatever reason.

2) Your ~100 dps is fine, because your primary target (as a non-battleship sniper) is frigates, with the occasional paper-thin ewar cruiser. And that's ~100 dps more than any other anti-support ship besides an Eagle can do at 200km.

3) If you want maximum tank at the cost of all of your offensive power, you park your command ship behind a POS shield. If you want to join the fight on-grid, you are expected to bring a proper combat fit.

4) Even with a 200km+ sniper fit, a Vulture has a tank comparable to a sniper battleship. Since range is your main tank, this is fine. Giving up all of your offensive ability to increase your HP just means you go down in 10 seconds instead of 5 when you are called primary.


But thank you for illustrating my point quite nicely: Caldari ships are fine, you just don't know how to use them.
