Allthough I'm not sure I like the reduced pg and cpu requirements across the board. Such changes feels like very "cheap" fixes. Havent tried it tho so it might not be a huge deal...
Tracking was the show-stopper for blasters. There is still going to be an issue with employment (the whole self scramming thing). Most blaster pilots are over that anyway, you have to know that if anything goes wrong you are going to be in a bad place with a blaster boat.
I don't think they went far enough with rails. The 10% buff to damage is still going to mean little, maybe a large rail boat will sneak a kill or two, but you aren't going to see them going toe toe against Baddons or Maels anytime soon, not voluntarily at least.
Maybe I'll actually be a able to sneak a real heavy neut on my Mega without fitting mods, its be nice to undock it to do something other than play with station hugging carriers. |

I thought a 20% flat damage boost was applied to blasters and 10% to rails.
Unless I miss-read it.
At 20% my Neutron Brutix is going to be pushing something like 900dps without heat, not bad for a lowely T1 BC.
Its not going to make the diemost anymore desirable but it'll be fun. |

Its not going to make the diemost anymore desirable but it'll be fun. Reading comprehension fail, its a trancking speed increase, not a damage stat increase. Tracking Speed Increase: All blaster turrets: +20% to Tracking speed
Oh nevermind than.
I'll stick to my canes. |
