It's not really a far off from being a good ship. The optimal range bonus is mostly wasted on it so we've changed it to launcher rate of fire. It still has that split weapon system you hate so much but you should be more satisfied with the damage output of it.
This ship will require more skills to fly than a Tempest.
Split bonus is not just undesireable, its unfair. Note that the split would then be, Guns/Drones/Missiles. Its just bad.
Please reconsider. There is a thread that is quite long where we tossed around several ideas. Try some of those, excluding ANY that create split weapons. You will just have to fix that 4-4 layout.
This is also bad for the Jaguar, but thats another story. Specilization wins all the time in games.

Specialization tops versality.
Give typhoon-tempest same relationship between stabber-rupture.
Make it 5/3
Give it 5% velocity bonus and take away the optimal bonus.
Or if going missiles go all the way
Make it 3/5
10% Explosive missile damage, 5% EM/KIN/TH missile damage
5% Missile launch ROF
4/4 Must Die!

I think the bottom like is this
slots - turrets/misiles
8 - 5/3
8 - 3/5
8 - 5/5
Once we get here then we can talk. Personally I think 5/5 is true versatility and not this fake versatility people are talking about with 4/4.

Drum roll pls....
Change harpoints to 5/5 insted of 4/4
Bonus:
5% missiles and projetile ROF per lvl
5% velocity bonus per lvl
QFT. if 5/5 becomes too uber then nerf it later. Typh0on deserves its time in the sun.
7.5% missiles and projetile ROF per lvl
Target Painters: Signature and velocity are part of the same equation. A cheap Stasis Webbifier I has DOUBLE (75%) the effect of a maxed T2 TP. Basic BS is not a support ship and should not have supporting styled bonuses anyway

Well when you go from pvp to NPC as Minmatar typically you swap your nosferatus for siege launchers.
So when folks hear 4xguns 4xsiege, naturally they think NPC because if you point that setup at any respectable pilot you may as well be making plans for your insurance payout.
Truth: Most of the people that bother to pvp in Typhoon would not benefit at all from a missile bonus.
My missiles skills are poor and I only briefly entertained them to bring use to the useless Hound. I'll train missiles when i get done with armor/shields/mw/cpu/speed/cap/guns/etc... all of which make more difference to minmatar than missiles.

I think they need to address two issues
1. The low skill efficiency of the Typhoon.
2. The low effective bonus per slot ratio of the Typhoon.
