Fine if other ships get moar dronespace then I want my Domi to get 2 extra Highslots and 7 Launcher Hardpoints. I mean, why should a Raven Navy Issue be able to fit 7 Launchers and a Dominix not?
It's really unfair!

Not very funny sarcasm nor does it make any sense.
Get out.

Amarr do use lasers.
Caldari do use missiles.
Minnmatarr do use speed & crappy guns.
Gallenteans do use drones. And Blasters
Giving more drone space to gunship do make as many sense as putting heavy launchers on a drone ship.
Fixed for you.
Just to compare a deimos does more dps than a zealot with just the guns plus it has a
50m3 drone bay. I dont think it would be unfair to give a zealot a 25m3 drone bay.
Comparing missle slots to drone space is like comparing apples and oranges.
Increasing drone bays on some ships and giveing drone bays to others is a good idea.

More accurately:
Gallente are blaster boats and drone users. Those are their primary forms of DPS. They are also armor tankers.
Caldari are missile boats and rail users. They have EW, too (though not a big deal anymore). They are also shield tankers.
Minmatar use autocannons and artillary (though not as useful anymore). They also have a couple missile ships. And they can speed/armor/shield tank on various ships.
Amarr use lasers and ... um ... we have missile boats, I guess. And of course, we're armor tankers.
My point? Each race has one specific race weapon (projectile/hybrid/laser), and one or two 'secondaries'. I envy Gallente a bit for only having to focus on drones and blasters, while I'm glad I'm not Minmatar with the need to specialize in three types of tanking. There are equal tradeoffs, I think.
I guess its kinda hard to make a point on here that makes sense. Ships that give bonuses to drones should have huge drone bays and 125 bandwidth like the eos or myrm.
As you said a secendary weapon that caldari have is ewar so give the caldai ships all an extra slot to fit them while still maintaining a tank?.
Aside from the drone specific ships that the gallente have that are meant to be drone boats all of there ship classes have bigger drone bays than there counterparts but suffer no drawbacks such as less fitting slots or less cap/speed/armor/hull/sig radious. Any none drone specific gallente ship is equal or better than its counter part without all the drones so they have an advantage. This applys to alot of minni ships as well.
People keep comparing drones to missles if you want an accurate comparison compare the turrets to the missles not the drones.
In my opinion all BS class ships should have 125m3 drone bays execpt the the domi which should have even more than it does and a second drone bonus or tank bonus instead of the turret bonus (Because you cant fit real turrets on it anyway).
BC's and CS's should all have 50m3 aside from the myrm and eos both should be allowed to deploy 5 heavies or give them a higher drone damage bonus. (Raise the myrm to a %15 drone damage per lvl so the med's can compete with the heavies with the dps and get rid of the turret bonus on the eos and make it similar to the myrms drone damage bonus.
All HAC's should have a 25m3 bay aside from the ishtar (possibly rethink the hybrid bonus to a mwd/tank/cap bonus)
Just my opionions but i think that would be pretty balanced
