IMO there are no speed tanking ships who need a nerf atm. Especially not if you consider that Vagabonds and Curses really dont like missiles. Could be me, but I had like 5 Raven engagements in my Vaga and 4 times I had to run, that single time I didnt was due he was ratting in TS space and used EM missiles .
However, Vaga is build on speed. As Vaga pilot you need to be very carefully as you cant simply MWD 24/7 (less dps and your cap dies, with faction stuff this 'could' be prevented). As a target with MWD there are enough ways to catch a Vaga as the pilot only has to make one mistake by not watching his overview. Besides that, a vagabond simply doesnt have a tank apart from some hitpoints. Once in web range a Vaga is simply dead. If a vaga pilot engages a target who has a/multiple friends in local who are gonna help him, you need to be even more carefull as you cant simply orbit your target anymore.
And if that's called ballanced (!?), what about a Rapier with Recon 5, a perfect skilled Claymore pilot and 4 of those amps? That would result in 195.78Km web range with 70% strength (you forgot stacking?). Rapier would mostly use 2 webbers, thus two of them become 1 big fat 195Km at 87.5% strength web... Right...
Speedcurse, maybe it's not meant to use a speedtank, however it has a very poor tank. I cant see why this should be a problem as you can simply remove the dps from the Curse. A Curse orbiting you with NOS and a scram... who cares? If he does have friends it's a little but different though. Besides that, if you're in a ship with MWD it's very easy to catch a Curse as he needs cap to use his MWD... with some smart timing and playing he will be right under your wheels.
Inty's are meant to be fast, they do hardly any dps.
That web amp thingy? No thank you. A Curse could be orbiting just below 30Km with a Domi scram and thus escape from that. Or someone would have at least 3 amps which I dont see happening at all. Huginn/Rapier doesnt need the amps, Caldari doesnt have the meds to fit a web and scram, and if he does he needs its low slots for PDS/DCU a lot to make up for that. Armor tanking ships would MAYBE fit 1. And where as the Curse would be on the safe side, a Vaga is purely nerfed to death cause it arbits around 16Km quite a lot.
