The Coercer is kind of okay. You don't expect Destroyers to tackle stuff, but just to kill frigates quickly from range and the Coercer does that well.
The Retribution does roughly half the dps of the Coercer now. At the same ranges, with much better tracking. There is no point to the Retribution. A second mid is WAY more useful than a fifth low slot. It either needs to do a LOT more dps to be worthwhile flying or just get that second mid slot.
"do a LOT more dps" as in: +1 turret, 10% damage bonus instead of 5%, extra grid and especially cpu (so it can actually fit multiple heatsinks and make good use of its low slots). With those bonuses it would just about match a Coercer in dps, and trade tracking for durability and low signature. |

But with the Retribution it is worse off than most being stuck with that lack of a second med slot and that should be addressed. A 4H/2M/5L slot layout would be a great improvement and still give the ship a unique slot layout and with a decent 4th bonus could be made flyable.
Would you fly a Retri in gangs if it did 1.5x times its current dps? That would be 275 dps at 22km with Scorch in a damage and range oriented fit. |

What did you kill? A cruiser without propulsion mod? A noob in a T1 frigate? A drunken ceptor pilot? 
Please tell.

In the case of the Retribution, the way I see it this is doable in 2 ways:
1 - Give it a mid. Obvious really
Or
2 - Buff the DPS output, so it actually does enough to be worth the lack of tackle.
Well put.
