+More damage. Application of, alpha, ROF, velocity, explosion radius or whatever it takes to effectively kill things faster.
Any bonus to missiles is welcome, please.

Pilot 2: "My missiles do 7000km/s. Outrun those"

Yeah the 50 per level bonus is intentionally one of the weaker ship bonuses, to keep the rest of the package balanced. I am open to considering other bonuses like the ECCM one, and I'm interested in other ideas you folks have for bonuses that don't have a huge impact on the ship power level while remaining flavourful for Caldari.

Let's look at this objectively shall we?

Comparison Caracal RML vs Jackdaw Light missiles

...

Conclusion:
For TRIPLE the price, you get a ship that's WORSE in most cases, or that has negligible bonuses, especially for (again) triple the price.
The only real difference lies in the signature radius, but given how SLOW the ship is, and given that the jackdaw would still be over 350sig, I really don't see how this could significantly improve its survivability.

TL;DR: I won't bother and rather pick a caracal or, if I really want to go pimp and small, a flycatcher.

I have no doubt about how useless this is in any combat situation, and no doubt that I'd gadly trade it for speed instead

The agility really is a poisonned gift, given the lack of speed and the really bad agility in other modes.

Here's a wildcard for you. 10% Reduction in Shield Booster Capacitor Need per level. (Ancillary Shield Boosters don't receive this bonus)

Pilot 1: "My ship does 4000km/s, I can outrun you"
Pilot 2: "My missiles do 7000km/s. Outrun those"

Confessor:
+ Damage (10%/level)
+ Reduction in activation cost (10%/level) (matches the Coercer 10%-per-level)

Svipul:
+ Damage (10%/level)
+ Range (10%/level) (at level 5, matches the Thrasher passive 50%)

Jackdaw:
+ ROF (5%/level)
+ ...tank? (50 flat/level)

The Confessor is already hard on cap, so that's really important. Great utility bonus.

The Svipul needs the range in order to compete with pretty much every other Minmatar gunboat frigate. It makes sense.

The Jackdaw's utility bonus should be for the weapon, not the tank. The Corax's passive 50% bonus is to missile velocity, which is already being applied via the sharpshooter mode. However, it's still missing any kind of actual precision bonus. Can we get a +10% missile explosion velocity bonus per level? This will put the Jackdaw's damage application bonus on par with its T1 counterpart. Otherwise, a T1 Corax would be more effective at shooting anything fast enough to catch a T3 destroyer.

I've made a significant number of posts in the past about why high-speed missile combat doesn't work and this would result in so much damage bleed you'd still lose.
