Unless you are one of those "solo" pvp'ers (with 2+ accounts for your scout alts and falcon etc alts) there isnt really any reason to train blasters.

lasers > drones > projectiles > hybrids > missiles
Drones have many limitations that makes them useless in many pvp situations. Turrets in general always work wich makes them the perfect pvp weapon. Drones and missiles cant really be compared with turrets as they have their moment in some situations and completely suck in others.

reason i listed drones as a weapon system is due to some really good drone boats out there. obviously, without the ishtar/domi, drones wouldnt really be a weapon system. so what im saying is: once u can load out heavies, sentries, ECM, and light drones there are very few situations you cant deal with.
Obviously there are only 2 real droneboats. But here is some problems: Posbashing, fleetfights, low sec, some types of hac gangs. Yes sentries have fewer/different drawbacks, but in many cases you have to be willing to run away from your drones if things dont go your way and then you lose what 5-10 mill for a set of t2 Garde or whatever type you use and probably have to go somewhere to fill up your dronebay again. And then i havent even considered the possibility of your drones getting blown up. Drones worked pretty good in the old closerange nanogangs when i used a nanoishtar, but i hardly ever use droneboats anymore even though my best race is still gallente.
Maybe i didnt make it clear but even if railguns do less dps than lasers you can still hit stuff when using it. You dont get in the situations like drone/missile users in gangs where your weapons are popped so you cant do any damage, or they are so slow the target is gone by the time your missiles reach a target. If you cant use blasters due to range issues you can still use railguns with the same skills. So if you only use one weapon system it should be turrets, energy, projectile or hybrids.
Drones need a revamp and the droneboats should be more focused around drones.
But now we are far off topic.

Ok, first, your still to dumb to see what i have explained over about the t2 rigs and hg implants on sisi. It's how it is, we just have to live with it. It's nothing i can change.
And 2nd. Your reported for taking this topic way off topic. Can't i tell something about how Blasters is without you coming here and do your whining and take the topic out off topic by bringing in my ECM Tempest on sisi into the picture?.
This topic is not about my Tempest on sisi.
You just owned yourself for the n'th time in this topic. And you cant say anything about how blasters is because you dont really use it in a real setting.

And your still to dumb to see that EVERYONE ON SISI is using Slaves and that + t2 rigs. Why should i not use it then?. Can you answer me that?.
Who cares your "tests" are still worthless. It doesnt matter why you use unrealistic setups in a fixed environment.
If you really wanted to "test" the least you could do is find some other "testers" and "test" more realistic setups. But it would be far easier if you just used blasters on tq for a month and come back with a new post filled with your killmails.

and just to note on your web comment. people fly mixed gangs for a reason. points and webs are spread out. yeah you'll get doubling up on targets, but it's not like 10 guys warp in on 10 and everyone puts a point and web on primary.
Blaster megas are worthless in a mixed RR gang.

That is why they used the "mega only gang" scenario as in a mixed gang they would be nothing more than a remote rep ship doing close to no damage while the ships with longer range were the only ones doing good damage.
Yes i know. I'd love to find some of these mega only gangs for some easy kills.
