If I want to use the Hecate, I am forced to use MWD or else I won't be taking advantage of the propulsion mode? MWD speed and cap usage only effects MWD's, not afterburners.

But you at least get 66% inertia boost from propulsion mode still, you might say? If you look at the inertia of the Hecate you will see that it is twice as high as Svipul and more than twice as high as Confessor; this makes the bonus worthless in comparison.

I realise that the purely MWD bonus is probably there to stop people using 10mn afterburner set ups but what about those of us who want to use 1mn afterburners or gisti 1mn afterburners? There's no simply no option for it, because propulsion mode is next to worthless to use with afterburners in a Hecate; you're better to forgo gallente and use a better designed tactical destroyer which doesn't reward only MWD usage.

For that reason if I want to play with 1mn afterburners I am forced to use an entirely different ship that can take advantage of the bonus, the svipul for instance. Which means I don't get to play my favorite race's tactical destroyer, all because of badly designed bonuses, which are only designed that way to prevent oversized afterburner play, while also ruining normal sized 1mn afterburner play at the same time.

I realise it's probably too late to change this now, but couldn't you have found a better way to do propulsion mode for the Hecate so at least 1mn afterburners are viable and not just MWD's for the sake of penalising the oversized afterburner style.
