One last bump for additional ideas.
Why for the love of all that is good are you bumping your own thread when the only idea that needs be put forward has been. You are wrong. Your assumptions are wrong. And I don't mean you are wrong because I don't like your ideas, you are wrong because the things you have stated simply aren't true.
Quote:
Damage Modification: Split weapon systems have an obvious advantage here. While single weapon systems top out after 3 damage mods (due to stacking nerf), split weapons can use an additional 3 damage mods, bringing their damage at least 50% higher than single-weapon systems.
It takes an extra 3 mods just to match the bonus from a single weapon ship. That under powers the dual weapon ship as it has to sacrifice and additional 3 lows to damage mods.
Quote:
Adaptiveness: Split weapons have an obvious advantage in adaptiveness since they have the advantages of two weapon systems and can minimize each otherÆs weaknesses. Tracking too fast for rails? Your missiles will take care of that pest!
No. If you are up against a ship that can out maneuver your weapon system, or one of your weapon systems is being disrupted/intercepted, your secondary system is not going to save you. You will only be dealing half damage, while your target is still using his full potential. As well split weapons means you are also dealing with split ranges, which is a terrible situation to be in as one system will always be firing from its disadvantaged range.

Let me use the power of MATH!
You have used no math, at least none that you have posted, and any math that you might have done is wrong.
Quote:
IÆve outlined the problems, compared them factually, and suggested solutions.
No you haven't. You've outlined your opinions, compared them on false assumptions, and suggested solutions to those false assumptions.
Dual weapon systems are difficult to fit, difficult to use, require more training, and fair worse than their single weapon counterparts who get dual bonuses to a single weapon. You also only seem to have a theoretical understanding of PVP (Laserthron is popular?) and single weapon ships still outshine duals in PVE. You have also completely missed the point of the teir 3 BSs, notice they all get tanking bonuses, and the Rokh is the only Caldari hybrid BS.
