I don't think you realize just how OP that TD bonus is.
I think there is a rule against linking killmails but it illustrates my point:

Killed those two at the same time.

The TD bonus gives the arbitrator supreme versatility in multiple ranges and can effectively make it immune to damage.

The celestis can be a combat cruiser if you you really want it to.

I mean with an actual combat bonus.
Gallente Cruiser Skill Bonus: 5% bonus to Medium Hybrid Turret Damage and Remote Sensor Dampener effectiveness per skill level.
It has a bonused weapon, and a powerful form of ewar at its disposal that can let the ship kite without even being targeted.

What about Rof, since it has a relative low amount of high slots?
How about stop yer bitching and be happy with not being targeted? It has a combat bonus and it doesn't need to do good dps.

1 mid? Dear god that would be OP.
Shield arby would be an unstoppable beast and the armor variant would be the ultimate close range kiting ship.

To be honest, when I wrote this post I considered Arbitrator to be a drone carrier (as it says in the description) and not an EWAR ship. I saw the TD bonus as a weird secondary attribute, similar to Dragoon having an Energy Vampire bonus, with little to no solo PvE implications. I was, after all, looking for a boat for security missions mainly.
PVE Balance is secondary to pvp balance.
The arbitrator is unneeded as a pve boat.
The devs do not balance ships according to usefulness in PVE, they always look at PvP and will possibly make tweaks for mission runners if it will fit.
