CCP needs to make the bonus to launcher RoF and not launcher damage. Unless theyre saying launchers are inherently better than turrets and thus for a split weapon system ship, its balanced to have 6 launchers vs 8 turrets, all other things being equal
I am curious as to how you define a 'troll', when you use fact distortion to rebuke them.
Nomen: 4 Turrets, 10%/lvl = 6 turrets. Bonus only applies to turrets, limited versatility.
Naug: 3 Turrets, 25%/lvl = 6.75 turrets. Bonus only applies to turrets, limited versatility.
ONI: 4 Launchers, 10%/lvl kinetic / 5%/lvl off-race = 6/5 launchers. Bonus only applies to launchers, limited versatility.
CNI: 6 Launchers, 5% RoF/lvl = 8 launchers. Bonus only applies to launchers, limited versatility.
* Very odd how it is so much better than the other hulls.
Nvex: Drones, not applicable.
Nexeq: 5 Turrets, 5% RoF and Dmg/lvl = 8.33 turrets. Bonus only applies to turrets, limited versatility.
* Very odd how it is so much better than the other hulls.
FIS: 5 Turrets, 5% RoF/lvl = 6.67 turrets. Bonus only applies to turrets, limited versatility.
And the one you moan about;
SFI: 4 turrets/launchers, 10% RoF/lvl / 10%/lvl = 8 turrets/6 launchers. INSANE versatility while being on par with all other hulls regardless of chosen weapon system .. if it should be changed then the RoF on guns should be damage (ie. nerf) to bring it in line.
There is not a single 10% RoF bonus anywhere but on the Scythe, because doubling damage of a T1 hull is unheard of without reducing mount points (ex. navy frigs, NAug). You are getting same damage as the ONI only with all damage types, plus 2.5x the drones plus way more speed PLUS you get more gun damage than the vast majority of hulls that are limited to guns (Same as the Cynabal for Goddess sake!)
What annoys me the most is that there is no explanation as to why Cara, Exeq and Gun Scythe are given that much more damage than the others.
In short: Scythe should be nerfed from proposed configuration as the ability to use either guns or launchers as well or better than the platform specific hulls is broken .. so by all means, give it a 5% damage/5% RoF (no T1 ships has two of the same bonus, so no 10% (5+5) RoF) on four launchers (6.67) with rest made up from superior speed and drones .. will actually make it more balanced.
