I'm happy with Tach's being hard to fit. I think 1400mm arty are the same for Minmatar?
They work fantastically on a Nightmare, and can be used in select fits on other ship if you want out and out damage at range.
You can compromise by using mega beams for easier fitting, cap usage etc. They're not *that* much worse |

Regolis... You're significantly overlooking the other benefits of lasers.... Like ammo usage. Plus Amarr ships tend to have more powergrid to fit the larger guns.
By all means argue that lasers use too much cap, but suggesting they should have the same usage as Hybrids is bonkers. |

Your post makes absolutely no reference to staying in scale with Dual Beam / 350mm scaling.
I'm still not certain what you are even getting at.
Fitting and cap usage on one weapon type can't be compared to another - they're different weapon systems? |

Lasers are effectively infinite ammo in a combat situation. Yes if you run missions all day you'll have to buy new ones. But realistically, no-one ever loses a fight in Eve because they've ran out of Crystals :p (bar odd situations - ones which they've had long run out of other weapon ammo)
Beam lasers seem to track better than rails (Tachyon's aren't far off of dual 250mm rails) and do more damage. That's why they are whores for cap usage. |

That said, I'm still upset at losing the Armageddon, but here's my fingers crossed we'll get a Navy Knockoff.
I'm hoping, that it stays basically as it is - albeit fine tuned. Sexy looking laser blasting 5x heavy using machine of death |

Just about every Amarr ship, especially the ones that use lasers, requires cap rigs.
There's no choice about the rigs you take if you plan on firing for more than a few minutes.
Capacitor rigs or go home.
For PvE maybe...
Otherwise I'll take trimarks and a cap booster any day of the week.
Would prefer Amarr laser ships to have a lot more cap - much better way of doing it really. Currently they are barely any better than other races.
You don't need to apply this to non-gunships like the Curse, new Geddon, Arbitrator etc. As you don't want them to suddenly have immense cap for neuting + other stuff. |
