Originally by: Mag's They don't suck per se, but given the choice, they just don't give enough extra DPS to justify their limited range over the extremely flexible lasers and autocannon . Infact the DPS is really negligible, even when starting a fight at Blasters optimal.
That being said, I do love that 'in your face' style of play, but have trained all the races now to give better options.
I like what he said. well formulated. (added teh autocannon)

I really hope ccp follow the line of tough they used in projectile boost.
And that is.. MORE of the FLAVOR.. not equality.
They made arties MORE flavored heavy with more alpha strike. THey made AC more flavored heavy with their massive versatility.
Arties flavor is alpha, low tracking AC flavor is versatility with no single HUGE advantage Blasters flavor is RAw damage short range Rails is range with not epic damage Pulses is RANGE with lower tracking Beams is massive damage and trackign with very high cap usage and fittign issues
They need to make Blasters MORE flavored heavy.. increasing their RAW damage! 10-13% more damage I would say
Increase rails range!
Decrease (a TINY BIT) pulses tracking
Increase beams cap usage.
All weapons different.. all weapons full of flavor.

Originally by: Cpt Branko Blasters offer a useful amount of control up close; scrambler and web stop things really well. Sure, they can't go for undersized targets without a neutralizer, but nobody really can do that sort of thing. 60% webs and MWD-disabling scramblers were introduced to remove easymode killing of everything smaller - some like it, some don't like it, but I suspect it's there to stay.
Well since we had this discussion already, it is not very likely we will agree on this point. If I can pick between a halve way working ship class in the meta game or more impressing EFT numbers my decision would be pretty obvious the first.

The problem is that, even assuming fight starts at zero with 0 transversal the DPS advantage is marginal at best and often comes with worse EHP and so on, so you're often not winning even in your sweetspot.
******ed fitting (and in some cases slot allocation and bonuses) is also a issue. Take the Brutix; the only way to fit worthwhile guns on it (Neutrons) is with a shield buffer AND a fitting mod (conveniently wasting a bonus). Except now you're fairly helpless against smaller targets because of lack of neutralizer. You can't fit a neutralizer because, guess what, to get 10m3 more dronebay over the, eg. Cyclone, you lose a slot (wtf). Blaster fitting is "balanced" around blasters being pwnage weapons up close which is not really the case in the game as it is now.
It was the same way pre QR to, nobody cared.

Most blasterships were trash pre-qr, and Minmatar got heavily boosted since that (which had better ships sub-BS already).

Well I do ask for relative little in the greater picture. I don't care if many Minmatar hulls are superior if you still have a niche to use a blaster ship in.
