Blasters should be short-range, lasers - long range, and autocannons in-between. What do we have now? Let's compare range (optimal+falloff) for subcap and capital turrets:
Mega Pulse II (32 km) -> Capital Pulse (47.5 km) = +48%
800mm AC II (24 km) -> Capital AC (53.8 km) = +124%
Neutron Blaster II (17.2 km) -> Capital Blaster (45 km) = +161%
I dont know if capital lasers are inferior, or both projectiles and blasters deserve nerf, but something is wrong here - as blasters having almost the same range as lasers is a nonsense. |

@ Fozzie
Have you considered the following option on Naglfar?
4 turrets
5% damage bonus
no ROF bonus
That would really be the only viable long-range dread, Alpha-Nag.
Its relatively weak tank wouldnt matter that much as a consequence. In fact, you could apply the same approach (longer range) for Nidhoggur, but that's the whole other story.
Why 4, not 3 with more bonus? Well, because 1) easier to redesign the exterior, 2) fitting 4 arty is (or should be) much harder than 4 AC, so when choosing the alpha, the tank fits no more, 3) versatility! you can sacrifice 1 high slot for smartbomb, cyno or whatever without loosing too much DPS. And yes, if people start fitting blasters on that - you know something is wrong. |

They will do it, soon (tm).
It's just about Fozzie hates split-weapons more than anything in EVE, so he managed to push this ninja-fix in before the main balancing pass on Dreads. I think it's wrong, and if citadel torps were fixed first, the old split-weaponed Naglfar could perform well enough. The same applies to Typhoon. |

IMO, the only good way to fix citadel torps is to give them back their AOE damage. Not sure if it's technically feasible, especially for application in low-sec space. But if it is, that could be the worst nerf ever to slow-cat doctrine and even for supercarriers. And of course, all Naglfar pilots would bite their elbows missing that opportunities. |

And of course, all Naglfar pilots would bite their elbows missing that opportunities. Fun idea! Only problem is that you'd have to make citadel torps immune to their splash damage, otherwise the incoming volleys would just get blown up on their way in... 
There is a good working mechanics with bombs (launched by stealth bombers). Each type of bombs has 99.5% resist to its own type of damage.
And in case you didnt know, original citadel torps were AOE weapon [prooflink]. But they were unbalanced, so CCP decided to fix that with the easiest (and the worst) kind of treatment - by removing them. But hopefully, my friends, we shall see swarms of doom torpedos again! And with that, we'd witness the Phoenix...
REBORN!

If somehow the launcher slots can't be used as turret slots, just give the one turret slot a 200%dmg bonus.
It realy sucks how the Phoenix can't hit anything that moves just a tiny bit and this change would help.
Man, you're a genius! The best way to fix missles - is to remove them :-))
But on a serious note, a temporary solution could be to drop explosion velocity penalty on siege modules. |

Agree.
If anyone forgot how a balanced versatility should look - let me remind you: Terran, Protoss, Zerg. That was an epic game design. CCP can not create nothing at least remotely matching that design - I'm quite aware - but do they even try? |
