Just my opinion.

Missiles are of no use for sniping. Their damage output also sucks without damage mods, though I admit that they increase the overall damage output in comparison at close and medium ranges.

Which brings me to the uselessness of being good at medium range - drawbacks from both close range (need to tank, easy to get scrambled by support and closed in by close-range ships) and long range (bad damage, can't scramble yourself).

And a Brutix can switch to an ammo with longer distance and still do more damage until at ranges of over 90 km when the Ferox starts to gain the cap. Warping in a Brutix at 80 gets you like 50% more damage even with heavy missiles included than warping a ferox at 100. Does that sound balanced to you?

Also, most fights happen between 10 and 50 kilometers where the Brutix is considerably better. Who snipes with a BC anyway when you can go for a BS for a lot more survivability and damage. A ship that serves only as a step in between training has no role and serves no real purpose.

You haven't really said anything that isn't already known, but I never use my Ferox with rails, missiles only since they use no cap, and leave the turrets to my Brutix.

That if something says rails are simply not viable even for you on a ship that is supposed to specialize in them.

Should I use the Ferox with missiles? No, the new BC is better, using Ferox would be stupid.
Should I use the Ferox with rails? No, Brutix is better, using Ferox would be stupid.
Should I at least use the Ferox for sniping at long ranges even though I could snipe a bit closer better with Brutix? No, any sniper BS is better, using Ferox would be stupid.
But I've only trained Caldari! Good for you, the Tier 3 Caldari BS is a turret boat.

Without resuscitation the Ferox will become obsolete.
