The reload time is an absolutely terrible idea. Missiles are 100% damage type specific. Reloading to change damage type is already slow at 10 seconds. Now it will not even be an option. There is no way to compensate for this without reconsidering the bonuses on every ships that these launchers could possibly be mounted on. The can of worms that you are attempting to open is too large to be handled safely.
At the very least keep RLMLs the same. They are not in need of changes.

While I agree with this in concept, in application a high alpha-strike to dps ratio doesn't work unless you have enough alpha damage to actually remove the target either in one shot, or perhaps 2 in the case of insufficient reps.
In this case, your not talking about alpha-strike, but just extraordinarily high dps over a short period of time. All the time you are firing he may be repping. Then your dps stops for 40 seconds, during which time he will still be repping. I don't know about you, but I've never seen a pvp local tank that isn't completely repped up in 40 seconds, especially in the day of ancillary armor/shield reppers.
If you can't break his tank in the first cycle, you probably never will. But just as 40 seconds is a long time in pvp, so is 50 seconds. I'm willing to try a RLML Sacrilege. Could be interesting.

Wow. Facts are hard apparently. Bonuses to damage type (EM/Therm/etc) carry over to all missile types. Bonuses to RoF, Flight time, and/or missile velocity only apply to the specified launcher or missile type.
And I still think changing RLMLs is a bad idea. Go ahead and try it on the BS launchers. But I don't think anyone will use them. I tried the iteration v1 on sisi and wasn't impressed. My Raven deals with frigs and cruisers just fine with drones and cruise missiles.
Heavy missiles need a buff. They should never have been nerfed.
