It seems that the static data has been ported from our internal server to sisi already. The static update was supposed to have been accompanied by a dev blog, but I guess our overworked QA department forgot to inform me in advance. I'll try and see if we can get it out tomorrow to give a bit of perspective (and juicy details?) on the Khanid mk II changes, but keep in mind that the stats are subject to change as with everything else on sisi, though I hope not (modulo the flavor text of course).
I'm happy that you seem to like the changes for the most part and it makes me feel a bit less bummed about being rescued from a mountain side less than 24hrs ago 
Very, very happy with the changes. Major props, CCP.
Hope all is well with you and your... err, mountain, Fendahl.

I can appreciate the reason for making them short range... I don't want to wrestle the one thing the poor Caldari missile sluggers have going for them: long range.

Don't make any assumptions about the natural laser boats, yet :) Given the drastic changes to half the Amarr ships already, it's not outlandish to believe the beamboats will get some lovin' as well.
That besides, huzzah for missile spamming, armor tanking, oohshiney black goodness.

Could be interesting but...
1)Please, no matter what else you do to the damnation, at least let it keep its 4 turret hardpoints...please.
2)Change the proposed bonuses so they aren't as limiting....by which I mean, for example, change the malediction dmg bonus to standard missiles and rockets rather than just rockets; likewise with the sac, damage bonus should be to heavy as well as heavy assault missiles.
Also a mildly related afterthought on the heretic (not really referring to the proposed changes):
Why when each race only gets one dictor and has one main weapon system that marks them out, is the heretic the only one that does not favour its racial prejudice? Even in cases of split weapon systems all the other dictors favour their primary, isn't it a tad unfair on amarr pilots to restrict them largely to what is, and has always been a marginalised weapon type for them on their only choice of dictor? I understand it's a khanid ship and so should broadly fit in with the khanid philosophy, but nonetheless it seems a fair point to make.
1) I hate to ask, but why would you fit turrets on a damnation after the change? You'll just eat up cap for no good reason. The absolution is a fantastic beamboat.
2) I suspect that the reason for the Amarr ships being perplexingly short-ranged is so they don't completely obsolete caldari ships in pvp. That's fair. Caldari were missile ships first.
3) The dictor issue has been the only serious complaint I've picked up on in and out of game. I personally think the dictor role works best /w missiles, so this could only be a good thing. But for all the heretic pilots that like their lasers (including the one that ganked my crusader earlier  ), I can appreciate why this might make them uncomfortable.

What made me really laugh is that Zealot is now cheaper than Sacrilege.

Fairly spoken, though I suspect that even with gimped missile skills, you'll still get comparable damage over time to the bonus-less lasers.
