Seems that the split weapons makes these ships preform really badly. The phoon managed to break the mould for awhile but if it had been a single weapon type ship (missles) it would have been even more powerful.
Even as far as Faction and T2 ships are concerned the split weapon ships are terrible in comparison with dedicated damage type ships. They have to forgo damage mods because of the need for twice the slots and also have fitting problems when trying to run all guns/missles.
.
I disagree with the op on Typhoon. Here's the reason. I use the phoon for ratting and I find that it provides u with so much flexibility due to it's slpit "freedom of fiting". I have:
Hi: 4 Siege missile launchers, 2 heavy Dims, tractor beam and salvager.
Med and low are filled with tank and cap rechargers tech 2.
The reason it's flexible is because you can kill rats with torps and drones, and it's actually a bit better than Domi for ratting(provided that both ships are equipped with the best gears). 2 Heavy NOS allow my tank to run real good, salvager and tractor beam allow me to pull in loot and salvage, these 2 mods are important to me because i can refine loot and get minerals from it. Other ships like Tempest or Raven can fit those 2 mods too u might say, but you won't be able to fit 2 heavy NOS tho, unless in raven u drop salvager and tractor beam and drop down to cruise missles which means u losing lots DPS.
Now if I compare Typhoon to Raven, than yes Raven is better in terms of firepower. Due to the fact that Raven can kill rats much faster it doesn't need a tank. However, the point is Typhoon is so much more flexible than a Raven.
Again, if I wanted to change my weapon to Autocannons, i can to. Why would I change my torp launchers to Autocannons u might ask? Because I might get very bored with missiles and wanna change the play style abit. Why u can fit 4 guns and 4 launchers on a Tempest or Raven they won't deal as much damage as their intended full damage setup at all.
Let's have a look at Huggin. Split weapon system = bad? hum i been using Huggins as a webber ship for a while now and its primary use has been webbing. I dun even care whether all guns and launchers fit or not, all I care about is that webbers do fit and I can help other in gang since I pretty much brough a hostile ship to the full stop or something like 3m/s.
