If by fine you mean worse at its given job than all other cruisers, sure.

Tracking nerf on Rails is pretty big (even though it can be compensated by replacing falloff bonus on all ships that have it with a tracking bonus, but I don't expect that to happen), and +15% RoF increase seems nice only until you realize that Hybrids are the only weapon system consuming both cap and ammo. I would remove both of those changes but increase damage bonus to 20 or 25%.

Technically lasers do too, nobody uses T1 crystals.

The thing is, Scorch is just plain OP. I have no clue how to fix it without making it an instantly-reloading Void clone, but as long as that Crystal allows me to shoot at beam ranges, I'm going to fit pulses.

Now that I think about it, does anyone use medium or small gleam? I've only ever used it for POS shooting...

Not in PvP, but nobody uses Medium Rails in PvP either :)

The changes look good for medium LR turrets.

I see a bunch of people complaining about HML balance being out of wack with these changes. I am not sure that the raw DPS is off for HML but their ability to apply DPS rapidly and against Cruiser sized targets. I would like to see HMs get an increase in their velocity by +25% with a corresponding -25% to flight time, on top of that increase the HMs explosion velocity by +25% for better damage application.

So you say they can apply dps rapidly against cruisers but then call for a exp velocity buff?

I have a concern, that I am not sure is valid, since I haven't tested the values myself yet, but how are medium rails, with the RoF and Damage increase, gonna compared to PULSE LASERS. As medium pulse right now is fairly low on DPS, and only seems to be used for It's nice range dictation.

Since rails will have that same range dictation, with a nice damage increase because of this change, I feel that medium PULSE lasers may start to get over shadowed as a nice mix of range and damage, and people will simply opt for medium rail ships.

If anyone has tested the numbers, and compared these 2 gun types, I would appriciate an answer.

Edit: Just to clarify, I understand pulse lasers will not be changed, and that beams are getting a buff as well, I'm just wondering if the medium rail buff will kinda just walk over what medium pulse currently do.

And nobody will after this 'rebalance' either.

I have two issues with medium ranged weaponry:

-They're strongly overshadowed by attack BCs. Why fit out an Eagle, when you can fit a naga with twice the range and twice the DPS for half as much ISK? The 50% mwd sig bonus to HACs might help aid this to some degree, however I strongly doubt the Eagle will be able keep its sig below 400 without loki OGB (which is next on the chopping block!), thus it's not a reasonable counter. That being said, I do support the capacitor and speed bonuses in the HAC changes.

-The second is the fitting requirements (this primarily applies to the PWG of rails). A prime example, the Deimos can't even fit neutrons with a 1600 plate, let alone 250mm rails, so it will either be a Heavy ship or an Assault ship, but not both ;D

You can fit Deimost with 1600 and Neutrons, but you're giving away a rig slot for an ACR and fit AB only. It's a matter of CCP vision of ships and fittings, they rather force you to use fitting mods and rigs rather than fix things correctly and take a slot away, problem being a T1 does as better and once that fitting rig slot fitted they still have 2 left to improve dps and tank.

should hvy missles not be buffed just a bit bc they were nerfed to be more in line the other med guns and such
