I totally agree, they can buff the ship but Rails are bad, plain and simple. Until they make Railguns worth anything, they won't be a common sight on any ship (aside from the Naga).
My biggest concern is this idea of removing the resist bonus. That resist bonus is so crucial to the Ferox's survivability it needs to stay. |

If CCP had been real serious about Caldari being long range focused, they would be using lasers with those optimal range bonuses. The mistake was making Caldari a Hybrid weapon using race.
Basically, let the Caldari have more Blaster Brawlers. Don't make them outclass Gallente (well don't try too), but change optimal to falloff or just straight damage. A RoF bonus might also be a way to give Caldari Brawlers a different flavor than Gallente Blasterboats.
Caldari are still masters of their paradigm, but not exclusively so... just like every other race.

This random guy agrees with this thread. CCP stated that the sniping cruiser concept didn't work, yet they want to force it on the ferox again. It would be better to be consistent with the ships they have already balanced and leave it as a blaster brawler with a resistance bonus.
Also, the naga's role is clearly sniping. You don't need two BCs filling the same role with the same weapon type. This way, if you have three different roles across the three BCs being filled, there is more variety and all three ships will get used. |

If they give it a damage and resist bonus... the Brutix is dead...
Both would be blaster fit, with blaster damage bonus
The active tank bonus on the Brutix would only be 3% better than the resist bonus on the Ferox, for active tanking, while the ferox would get 33% more buffer, and be a better shield fit (shield fit for gank/DPS) meaning better speed and DPS
and then... there is the ASB
Poor armor tanked, active tanked, Brutix
The ASB merlins are already stomping all over the gallente frigs now... the BCs are next
I would not generally bring a Gellente ship to a shield fleet or a Caldari ship to an armour fleet (except possibly an armour tanked ECM ship), so I donGÇÖt buy the concern about the Ferox competing with the Brutix. You are not going to be given a choice between the Brutix and the Ferox unless you are flying without Logistics or Support ships.
If the problems with the Brutix stem from the inherent problems with armour, then it should get sorted when they figure out how to fix the issues with armour that plage all armour ships. If the problem is with active armour tanking, then they need to either fix active armour tanking or change the bonus on the Brutix. None of this has any reverence to what they do with the Ferox however, as the Ferox is a shield ship and thus cannot take the place of the Burtix in armour fleets. |
