As a veteran minmatar recon pilot, I'd say they are just fine the way they are. Dont mess with it if it isnt broken.
However, if they should receive a boost, give them an extra mid slot each, so we can actually fit that painter in a sensible fit.

Either you are a terrible pilot, or you are flat out lying.
The one that shall not be named does about 10kms overheated with HG snakes, and 1.9kms double webbed. That is slower than my rapier without any implants goes, without me overheating.
If that hideous frigate has a max skilled mindlinked Loki boosting it, it will go 2.4kms overheated while dual webbed, my rapier without any implants can easily keep up with that on overheat.
So yea, you will keep up with even the fastest frigate in the game when it is double webbed, even if he invested billions in his implants and his Loki alt, and you are flying a clean clone.

I've flown rapier alot, but never felt need to fly Hyena or Huggin because they don't look impressive on paper.
In reality, the Huginn is way superior to the Rapier in its role though.
Only reason to fly Rapier is if you want to use as forward scout / prober, for everything else Huginn all the way.

Rapier (and friends) is prime example of this, it's an EW cruiser but how often do u see people fitting a target painter to it? Or even if you stretch ewar to include tackler webbing you'll usually only see 2 webs + 1 point on it.
I would actually fit a painter instead of a point if it wasnt for the terribly broken mechanic of webs sending their targets into instant warp when they arent scrambled.
Rapier / Huginn arent really EW cruisers btw, their primary role is range control and screening the fleet against fast tacklers.
Minmatar as a race is fine, the Tempest and Maelstrom might be a bit lacking, but apart from that they have a huge selection of great ships, many of them being considered the best of their class.
And I've yet to see a crusader that can take on a well flown claw, its hands down the best combat interceptor.

TP is generally thought of as useless. Certainly the weakest EW form.
What people think about TPs doesnt say much about painters, but more about people.
They do work extremely well for fleets that profit from them.
Rapier and Huginn are fine, you just need to learn to fly them properly if you think they arent.
