DPS
2x DMG Mod / Max Skills

Ferox with Javelin Heavy Assault Missiles = 217 DPS
Drake with Javelin Heavy Assault Missiles [non kinetic] = 260 DPS
Drake with Terror Heavy Assault Missiles [kinetic] = 326 DPS

So basically the Ferox is pretty much right up there with the Drake when not using kinetics, not bad for a railboat.. the Drake seems okay with kinetics but yeah, you don't use kinetic in PvP, I guess it's okay for mission running, which is what you'll be doing with a Drake not PvPing.

You say you can't use kinetic in PvP. The Amarr say you can't use EM in PvP.

What dmg do you think people should be doing? I get along fine using rails and blasters, which are mostly kinetic. And I often use kinetic drones too.

It's better to do two damage types than it is to do straight out 1 damage type. Give missiles 2 damage types then and make one a "caldari" racial one if that's the case, however I kind of though that missiles base DPS was lower than others weapons because of the versatility, obviously CCP has lost sight of that.

Kinetic is a horrible choice for PvP in my opinion, it's probably one of the highest resisted damage types.. EM and Explosive are much better.

Look at tech II ships, all boosted kinetic resist. Least blasters and rails get ammo with high thermal damage too to go with the kinetic it makes for a better situation for a flat out 1 damage type which is highly resisted to begin with..
