Why are there two rep bonused Command ships but not ONE rep bonused cruiser hull?
You know the ships that are more likely to be used in small scale scenarios where the rep bonus is actually useful? You are being really inconsistent with your rep bonuses CCP.

I wouldn't want the laser bonuses on the Absolution changed unless they were going to give it a role bonus for cap usage... Tracking would be kinda nice to set it aside from the Legion / Zealot mind. lasers are far from fine -cap usage is 3 times that of blasters if not more - tracking is poor, up close especially - amarr ships usually lack mids for control - amarr ships lack speed to stay at range - lasers can be neuted out and TD'ed easily and very effectively None of these things (well, except TDs) matter if you're shooting from scorch range. Lasers are fantastic compared to, say, the **** that is ACs right now. On a range-boosted ship, my medium lasers do full DPS out to 30km without range mods, while ACs are down to half damage at 20km. Even at point blank the raw damage of ACs is worse, only their tracking is better.
Thats the only thing pulse lasers do.
Lolscorch.
Every single ******* amarr ship relies entierly on ******* stupid ass lolscorch
Yes i'm ******* bitter about the ******** ass state of amarr sub BC t1's

Any chance you might address the fact that some of the bonuses ships get are just inferior to others.
Like on a Vulture, a 50% optimal range bonus doesn't actually give you more dps at range than a ROF bonus. You feel like it should but it really doesn't, if you equalize ranges on different ships you will find that a DPS bonus >> optimal range at pretty much all ranges unless you're trying to shoot into SEBO'd ranges.
Just look at the ferox vs the brutix. Even though the ferox has one more physical gun and a double optimal range bonus the brutix wins the dps race at pretty much all ranges. The brutix outdpses the ferox to ******* 60km and beyond that the ferox only pulls ahead slightly.
Should make optimal range bonuses higher (could also make railguns less falloff based)

Well it has double the damage bonus of the Eagle, but otherwise their bonuses are the same yes.
The optimal range bonuses work especially well with rails in a gang support role, and 7.5 hybrid turrets isn't inconsiderable dps. You can fit three links, four 250mms, three magstabs and full tank+MWD, and deal 463 dps out to 41km while also providing links and having 153k ehp. That's not bad at all.
Rather than add more +50% Hp bonuses to the command ships we're starting down the path that will allow us to remove that bonus from the Damnation and get them all into better balance.
I'm quite sure if you tried doing some magic to switch one of those optimal bonuses on the Vulture to a damage bonus you would find that if you equalize ranges through ammo the damage bonus one outperforms the other one at all ranges.
Because of ammo and most fights being in a sub 100km range damage bonuses are simply a LOT better then an optimal bonus. Should give the vulture a 12,5% optimal bonus and a 5% damage bonus imo.

I support the removal of all bonuses that make ships semi-unkillable.
