Lately there have been a number of posts talking about how the dps on a cerberus is so low, and how the cerberus can be changed in order to get it more in line with other cruisers. But it got me thinking, I don't think the low dps is a problem with the cerberus.
The cerberus gets a 5% damage and 5% rof bonus, which roughly equates to a 10% damage bonus. Look at other ships in the game, the ones that get 10% damage bonuses are the powerhouse high damage ships, yet for some reason despite the very good damage bonus on the cerberus, it's damage comes up so low.
So I'm just wondering if heavy missiles themselves, when compared to the dps of other medium turrets, are the issue here, and heavy missiles themselves are what need to be boosted. I haven't done the math comparing heavy missile dps with medium turret dps with no bonuses though. Thought I'd toss it out to others to see if I have any basis for my hypothosis here, and eventually I'll probably get around to doing the math myself, just don't have time atm.

At lvl 5 this equates to 56.25% bonus. I think missiles should be compared to the damage of mid ranged ammo on other guns because the missiles will get the same damage at any range. It would be interesting to see a comparison of the DPS of a well skilled cerbersus pilot Vs the damage output of a different cruiser at close, mid and long range. Also i think the cerbersus has the advantage of one fitting for most ranges ect.

the main problem these days is probably sig radius and explosion speed of missles. Even prepatch the dmg output of a cerberus with amxed skills could not keep up with others (but therefor it always hitted at least at closer ranges -> no warp out).
Now dmg is approximatly 1/2 to 2/3rd of prepatch and thus the ship is pretty much useless, especially at is ment to kill friggs and cruisers, imho.

I have a ceberus and fairly uber missile skills, my damage is quite excellent, however what we are missing is what other hac pilots are missing. Um ... Tek II launchers. So now we have to wait for CCP to get off thier ass and seed the market. Now the smart thing would to have handed out a few extra bpo's since the nice caldari pilots have waited so fricking long but noooo! now I have to pay 50 million for a set of heavy launchers? I think not.
