Please please get a different bonus for the tier 3 gallente BS. The MWD penalty bonus isnt realy a bonus. It just a partial reduction on one of the penalties on a module not everyone uses. The bonus should eb changed to a 5% to capactior capacity which will do the same thing but not restrict the ship so much. Then the ship might actually become usefull in complexes or deadspace.
The MWD penalty bonus just plain sucks. No ship should have a bonus that restricted to 1 module that most people dont use. All the other ships get great tanking bonuses. Is it too much to ask for a gallente that has the cap to sustain a decent tank aswell as a rack of guns without resorting to injectors?

I think some folks are reading the bonus wrong. It's 5% increase to Capacitor Cap AMOUNT while an MWD is running per level of BS. Effectively, they're canceling out the MWD's cap penalty just for this ship (if you have Gall BS 5). This is a pretty decent deal for a MWD ship and massively better than a piddly reduction in MWD cap use. This bonus results in 25% more cap being generated per second than a standard BS with MWD fitted (since you have more cap with the same recharge rate), which results in more power being available for Blasters and a tank / ECM. IMO that's a more powerful combo than people think.
If you dont fit an MWD the bonus means nothing. This means the bonus is useless in plexes and deadspace. Even with the bonus a ship with an MWD still has less cap and cap regen than one without. What im asking for is a 25% bonus to the ships cap in general. With an MWD you should have the same cap as with the MWD bonus, but without your cap will be better. The apoc already has this bonus and it works well.

What are you people talking about? Either you've never flown blaster boats or don't realize how great an MWD bonus is.... THANK YOU CCP!!!! This MWD bonus is what makes the ship a real blaster boat..... Would you rather not depend on cap boosters so darn much? This ship is going to be amazing :)
The bonus simply sucks. It works exactly the same as the apocs cap bonus but is restricted to ships with MWD's fitted. All it does is take away most of one of the MWD's penalties while the apocs bonus is allways there MWD or no. Either get the max cap bonus or make it 10% so it actually becomes a bonus to use an MWD with it.

The MWD bonus as it is does barely anything for the megathron. No one fits cap rechargers to pvp ships and the bonus doesnt give you that much cap at all so gallente pilots still rely on an injector. A tracking bonus would be way better because even on the megathron blasters have a hard time hitting at close range.

Its a Blaster-ship, why the hell wouldn't you?
Ok every every single persont that flies this ship uses an MWD then the change I propsed will have no change what so ever it will be exactly the same as if it were the MWD bonus 
But then you get people who dont want to set up their ship the same as everyone else. The people who dont want people to see their ship in local and know it will have an MWD fitted. The people who might want the extra slot for a warp disruptor in this stabbed up world of ours. Point is not everyone fits their ship the same way as you, some people prefer afterburners on blaster ships for sustainability. Its just stupid that its whole bonus is centered arorund a single module thats optional to alot of blaster pilots.

creative post ^^^
I guess i just cant see the point of giving the hype a crappy cap penalty reduction for a ship that relies on cap boosters.

Gallente are gonna have a sniping ship with a large drone bay and a tracking bonus and a blaster ship with a small drone bay and no tracking bonus. The MWD penalty bonus doesnt realy do anything because the ship absolutely relies on cap booster charges. Its tracking sucks aswell. A megathron has trouble hitting another BS with 100m/s transversal at its optimal range and it has a tracking bonus!
