DB/TS isn't a waste.
Officer is a waste

Well the op has a point IMO. If its just to kill drones and fighters a faction or even T2 (for the cheapkates) would be enough.
If you ask me, fitting officer SBs right now is a habbit of experienced capital pilots who used to get rid of dictor bubbles before heavy dictors came out. Nowadays any reasonable assault on a capital ship will include a hvy dictor.
Despite all this I would still fit officer SBs on motherships and titans, cause of the reasons stated by some above.. 2bils is nothing considering the 10s of bils of ISK u spent for these super-capital ships. On dreads and carriers its not worth the investment IHMO.
Disagree completely.
A ms is only about 15bil. You can get a very decent MS fitting(core x hardeners, corpum eanm, etc) for around 5bil.
Pimping is a waste, its not going to save your ship, and it will make replacing it that much more expensive.

However, when I used to fly a Phoenix I always fitted it with 3x hydraulic bay thrusters so the Rift torps had a velocity of about 1.6km/s. A lot more of the torps hit that way and with a slightly staggered launch you would at worst get 2 of the 3 home. It is a fair whack, a Phoenix in siege mode is putting out about 90k kinetic damage per volley from well outside 200km.
Talk about a useless setup.

T2 smartbombs require Energy Pulse Weapons V.
Officer/Faction smartbombs do not.
This, end of thread.
Why? Any self respecting supercap pilot should train that to 5 anyway, it's a massive dps boost.
Also, i fear regular dictors more than hictors because hictors are so ridiculously slow that neut + fighters will finish them off really fast, so the argument 'protection from bubbles' still stands firmly.
Yes because 5% dps on smartbombs is a "massive dps boost".

80 vs 75 cycle time = 6.67% more dps. Add in 5% implant and you get an additional 5% more.
And you cant use that implant if you don't have energy pulse weapons 5?
.5 seconds worth of faster cycle time is only around an extra 5-6 extra dps. Insignificant.
