CCP has considered that this makes the Raptor even more cap unstable right? Even with max skills this thing wouldn't last two minutes while scrambling something and firing at it.
This isn't a unique problem of the Raptor. The long-range-point 'Ceptors have to choose between tackling at max range and doing any sort of DPS.
I don't understand CCP's reasoning behind the PG nerf. They said it's to keep the Harpy as the undisputed king of T2 frig rail sniping, but that logic really makes me scratch my head. The Raptor only gets one range bonus, still has fewer turrets than the Harpy, and had a very hard time fitting T2 150mm rails even before the PG nerf. Also, the Ares, which is a much better choice to compare to the Raptor than the Harpy, has 3 turrets and 30 PG.
4 PG isn't going to make the Raptor overpowered. If CCP wants us to use that last turret, giveus back the PG please.

This is my petition in Ships and Modules to have CCP leave the Raptor's PG alone. It's pretty detailed so I didn't want to double-post it in both sections.

Moreover, raptor doesn't have an advantage in locking range over the other interceptors in its class.
The raptor is considered a terrible tackler and it's not because of it's lack of turret slots.
I never noticed that before, but you're right; the Raptor has no lock range advantage over the other 'tackler' 'Ceptors. Given that it shares the other racial trends (slower, less damage at longer range) it should get the longer lock range too.
Hell, all of the 'Tackler' 'Ceptors should get some sort of lock range boost to go along with their warp scrambler range bonus.
