The cost of lasers and ammunitions makes the savings very very low compared to all the other costs. Its 10% at best. And Amarr already have the most expensive hulls resulting in a worse loss there to make up for some of it[not all of it though].

It looks like 2 bonuses, but its not. Unless you think that lasers are 25% better than all other weapons right now. This is of course, a position it is pretty much impossible to take. Because if lasers were 25% better then the ships with damage bonuses would be clearly overpowered

E.G.

If lasers = blasters or autocannons x 1.25

Then Lasers x 1.25 = Blasters or Autocannons x 1.25 x 1.25

Such, a harbinger with lasers x 1.25 would be equal to a 7 turret Hurricane. Or a brutix with the stats of 8/4/6, 7 guns, 2x damage bonuses.

Since these are clearly false, and since the arguement is valid, the assumption must be false. Such lasers are not 25% better than blasters or autocannons.

Now, if they are not 25% better than blasters or autocannons, then the cap use bonus is clearly something of a non-bonus. Like an optimal bonus on an autocannon ship.
