Blasters need a dps buff. They are ment to be face melters and are ment to pwn people if they land on them at 0. Right now lasers and autos do almost blaster dps with alot more uses.

If ccp fixes hybrids they fix most gallente and caldari gun boats.
Hybrids use both cap and ammo to top it off with a 10 second reload and a fixed damage type. On top of blasters having shortest range in the game and rails having the lowest dps or close to it if they are bonused for damage.
Though blasters do deal 10% more dps, and range bonused rails got more range but are limited by the 250km targeting range which the apoc can match. These strengths are not enough to justify the weaknesses.
PS:Gallente drone boats and Caldari missile boats =/= Gun boats.
tldr:Hybrids suck and need a buff.

Come on people we need to keep this thread on the 1st page so maby ccp will see it and do some math and figure out that blasters/rails are underpowered and offer nothing over the other weapon systems except 10% more dps/range with all the down sides that the other turret systems have with lowest range/dps.

 Originally by: Laechyd Eldgorn
posting in a thread full of people refusing to use anything else but blasters and CN antimatter on their ships.
Majority of blaster setups I know put out more dps than their AC/pulse counterparts and considering that you need to think about whole picture with warp scramblers/webs, ability to field drones and optimal etc.
In fleet again you're supposed to fit railguns in your hybrid ships. Blasters are like... are you like... mentally challenged? Even with railguns gallente ships are generally better choice over caldari equivalents.
It's not excuse to boost all guns if some certain ships (like deimos maybe) could use some kind of role oomph. Even deimos is decent ship but ishtar able to field battleship class weapon systems in hac hull is just too lucrative over deimos.
But alright it's irc post. Just noticed. :P
Just to let you know amarr and minmatar can also use drones, and some of them can use them just as well as a gallente blasterboat (the ones with no drone bonus). Also the only time you outdamage those auto/pulse setups using faction close range is when you use neutrons with faction antimatter. Also rails just suck even more then blasters.
PS:High fitting requirments+low range+cap use+ammo use+fixed damage types+some tracking issues at optimal+10%-15% more dps=not worth it

3 weapon systems that need help
Blasters (smalls can work though)
Rails (smalls also can work)
Rockets (they are called lolkets for a reason)

For pvp if I had the skills I would rather fly the cerb over diemost and ishtar.
The Diemost is called that for a reason. They die the most and are not that useful when alive.
Sentry drones are not useable for sniper hac fleets reason you are active aligned out and thus you lose your drones when you warp or die because you chose not to active aligne out. Also Heavies are to slow for close range hac fleets and lose them each time you warp out. So after about 5 minutes of fighting you will be out of yor main damage dealing drones and the op just started; in null sec you cant dock at hostile stations to replenish your drones you have to take it first .
PVE Ishtar all the way for guristas (Though you arnt using hybrids just a civy auto cannon or something like that for aggro)
PS:Gallente Gun Boat problems is two fold poor ship (powergrid for example) and a poor weapon system.
PSS:I dont think I ever seen a hostile eagle(another hybrid boat).
