Well, its going to be hard to argue for improvements unless you have the weapons use some cap. It was only a few years ago that all projectiles got a 100% cap reduction. mind you, back then a raven had a hybrid bonus but thats another story lol.

People cannot see the forest for all the tree's. All those yoyo arguments are funny.
As someone who knows his sniping, Alpha and DPS matter for different situations. VS ships, Alpha matters.
If you are some kind of lame alliance who spends most of their time shooting non-cynojammed pos's in battleships insted of dreadnaughts, then I guess DPS would matter more.

No, volley damage doesn't matter, especially once the fleets get of any decent size. This is true in "theory", and it has been true in practice as well. The only time I'd say alpha really matters is when you're looking to killmail ***** at a gate camp where you already outnumber the enemy 5 to 1.
You are talking to one of the top 1% of snipers in eve. Look me up, trust me - I know what I am talking about.
People laughed at my DG fitted Rokhs - till they worked it out. They laughed at my Nightmare fit - till they worked it out. In fact, on these very forums they stated my Zealot sniper fit I suggested to someone was useless.
I decided to use that Zealot and it is still alive after over 300 kills, most of which when outnumbered.
Long story short. I know my sniping, but I do not see any sniping history for you. When I say Alpha matters, it does. Only time DPS>Alpha is when you are shooting pos, or have a dumb fc who wants 300 people to shoot a kestrel rather than co-ordinate fire.
