Have to say that I'm not a big fan of an overall nerf to LML.
This hurts far more ships than just the Crow. The Talwar, Corax, Hawk, and Hookbill are all going to take a hit on this and none of them are considered too powerful; while the LML weapon system was strong it wasn't game-breaking. This is really just another slap in the face to anyone with SP in missiles.
This game is becoming Drones Online faster and faster. |

This is the odd part to me. If a ship seems strong nerf the ship not its weapons/modules. But when it comes to missiles (e.g. HML and LML) they nerf both. It's just odd that CCP has such a raging hard-on for drones but missiles are nerfed over and over.
But hey, the Ishtar seems pretty balanced in Ishtars Online. Anyone else love sentry drones on Ishtars (and every other ship that can use them), too? |

That's at least a 6% damage nerf to an entire weapon system. That isn't a tiny change. If sentry drones saw a 6% damage hit, such as on rate of fire, you would see people screaming from rooftops before hurling themselves off. A change to an entire weapon system is always a big consideration.
LML aren't broken on things like the Talwar and Corax which already are overshadowed by other destroyers like the Algos (drones), Catalyst (hybrid), and Thrasher (projectile).
Waiting for the entire perspective is probably a good idea, but it's doubtful any of it will change that this is a substantial nerf to a weapon system enjoyed by many non-OP ships. |

horror of horrors
That's a huge DPS nerf, 16% nerf to DPS. That's substantial.
.4s align isn't that big, but it's still pushing the ship further from the important 2s mark so isn't something to be ignored.
