It's a sad day when my regular Apocalypse has more cap and grid than my Navy Apoc, and an additional bonus on top of it.
(Yes, not everyone has trained Amarr BS to V)
You have probably spent more time making this reply than you will spent giving the order to change the Navy Apoc to correspond to it's base version.
If it would be a lot of effort to change it, or would have major consequences, I think you would have a point. But as far as I can see neither applies.

Perhaps I should clarify. Risking to change a ship drastically two times in a short period of time is bad because every change upsets the overall game balance and makes peoples investment in the ship uncertain, eroding their trust.
Trust is a good point. Unfortunately I think people trusted you to make a faction ship that is an improved version of the regular ship. I know I certainly did. So the trust erosion argument is actually an argument *for* changing the Navy Apoc, not against. Perhaps I missed the hordes of people that trusted you not to change the Navy Apoc, and would be upset if you did, but I don't think they really exist.
What is the competition of the Navy Apoc, and how would adopting the bonuses from the base version upset the game balance. I just don't think you will have much of a solid argument there.

I completely forgot, if you mean this, then why the recent suggestions to change the Deimos by CCP? It was recently changed after all, and the changing of bonuses and slot layout that you recently suggested can be classified as a drastic change. And this on a Deimos that didn't even have balancing issues. In any case, it seems rather inconsistent to claim this as a reason not to change the Navy Apoc but do suggest the Deimos changes.
