posting in a thread where torps were boned and no one cares. back to the subject at hand
BS sized autocannons need looked at, scorch needs a sligh reduction in tracking, Pulse need their optimal increased. I believe this would allow for more ships to get under the tracking of large pulses (which i <3 btw thou).
The other problem is you have to choose as a blaster pilot to either a) fit a warpscram and web or b) warp disruptor and web. (hell caldari blaster pilots usually dont even have a slot for a web so be happy) Yes, could increase their tracking but now your ability to BBQ smaller ships increases greatly and this is why i cant support this issue. This is where i believe its not as much the tracking of a mega or let alone a hype that needs looked at but the tracking formula itself.
Also take into account the dmg you can apply with a mega, while still being able to utilize a utility highslot, whether RR or a neutralizer (which btw destroy's Amarr cap intensive boats) where as the geddon has even worse fitting issues than the mega, and has only 3 midslots. or we look at the abaddon, which is a cap monster with a giant passive tank but much smaller drone bay and is teir 3
all in all do i believe the blaster mega should be able to bring amazing amounts of DPS to bear in its range, yes. Should it be able to deal with cruisers, hardly at all. Yet a warpscrammed and webbed cruiser will generally melt under your your antimatter or null. Now could you be warpscrammed as well, yes and just like everything else in eve... there is a counter to your rock and a counter to my paper or scissors.
TLDR: Boost Bs sized autocannons, SLIGHTLY tweak scorch tracking, fit a warp scram + web, and give large blasters a 5% dmg boost... so if and when you can hit it, you are outperforming everything in your range. You wont get back your OP blaster mega of the past, we all adapt. and FFS fix the tracking formula
