I was reading through the post about 'Giving up on Blasters', which proved to be a massive waste of time. I was hoping that the discussion might've brought up the topic of putting blasters on the Caldari gunboats, but it didn't.
I specifically like the Rokh, and I'm messing around with a Harpy.
Are blasters a decent option for the Caldari gunboats? Do they give the Ferox some of its dignity back?
Any ideas/fits welcome.

2.8 optimal, 5 falloff with antimatter 7 optimal, 6.3 falloff with null.
as a comparison, brutix gets 3.8 optimal with null and 1.5 with antimatter. if you can just kite him a little into falloff you might win a fight =)

With Blasters you need a MWD or AB or you will fall asleep before you get in range. The Rokh with Blasters is not bad if you use one or two launchers and your 5 scout drones against Friggs.
Not too sure about the Ferox with Blasters though, just does not sound too good.

NOS/Neut instead of the launcher ? But perhaps a launcheris viable for most Caldari pilots  ________________________________________________

dont think there is much room for medium neut/nos and small ones are pretty crap on a battlecrusier. but I could be wrong, dont have eft on me right now.

The Rokh is a good boat, although it's best used versus other battleships and capitals due to its fairly poor tracking.
The Ferox is just a poor Brutix when used as a blaster boat and the Brutix isn't even all that good. It's servicable but barely so.
As for the last highslot you want medium nos or neut.

nah, you might win against the buffer setup since nobody expects the HG crystal boost. :) I was more thinking if there was a way to force on an x-large booster, scrap the damage control for a reactor control or something. feels like you could take advantage of the boosting a bit more, maybe some boost amps etc. who knows.

Blasters work very well on a Rokh, very well indeed. Before I started my love affair with the Abaddon I flew a Blokh in pvp a lot and it never let me down.
As for the Ferox, well blasters are certainly nice on it, but wait until you try pulse lasers. Yes really.
Then the Harpy. Blaster fits are very popular but then again so is herpes. Stick to rails or fly a Taranis instead.
You could also, for lols, blaster fit a Moa. Buffer tank it, stick a neut in the sixth high and pack a scram/web combo and go bait assault frigs.

Herpes are popular? Fair enouggh.

Blasters work quite nicely on Caldari boats... can't say that about Gallente as much.
Only thing us Gallente pilots get to laugh about is that Caldari blaster pilots have to let someone else tackle.

Billion isk implants on a battlecruiser? Fail. At least use a Rokh if you're going with the HG crystal setup.

Last time I checked, you could not put any implants on a Battlecruiser or any other ship... Did they change that? :P

This is why I find that blasters on Caldari hybrid bonused ship are useless. It takes .2 seconds to get from a ferox optimal using blasters (2.8) to a brutix optimal (1.5) using the same blasters while mwd'ing in to the target. Blasters ship just hit approach and the mwd so the 1.3m difference is not worth it. Now rails on a Caldari hybrid bonus ship is the win (Rohk Rigged Rail Sniper only has an optiaml of 274... )I know targeting range is limited at 250km but comeon, the epeen bragging is worth it.
