There is a real simple argument to be made here.
When given the choice of tank, gank, isk, and flexibility there is no equal to the phoon.
Other races at least have options in BS's.
If a minny is flying something other then a phoon they really like that ship, the phoon is so much better at everything.
Triple plate, damage mod, LAR, 2 EANM's.
Then go to town with whatever weapons fit your needs: Torps? Cruise? Autos? Artys? Remote Repping? Neuts? Smartbombs? Sentries? Heavies? Med? Light? EWAR drones?
The damn thing does it all and much better then the other two. I've even seen a shield tanked phoon work.

Typhoon: It's workable but is still just a tier 1 BS. Definitely should have the basic disadvantage against tier 2 and 3 BSes. It can stay as it is.
Maelstrom: It's a shield tanker which seriously gimps it in the PVP perspective. It would be ok to have a mission ship if the Tempest could just pick up the slack.
Tempest: This is where Minmitar BS fall apart. I'll compare it to how turret DPS works compared to a Megathron. Note: both ships get the 5% damage bonus per level so in the end so I will ignore it for comparative purposes.
I'm not sure what game you're playing but in eve typhoons are one of THE best and nastiest battleships around and tempests are VERY common in every aspect of the game. Everything from soloing, low sec rr fits to fleet snipers. Sorry but you really need to l2p or just stop whine and train another race if you cant see the use of your races ships. This minmatar whine has gone far enough.
Not alot of tempests flying around..............
When we put out the call for BS's in the minny militia, we get phoons. LOTS of them.

Why people still dooing this? Any time people compare the DPS of her BS to a Neutron fitted Mega. 
And under Neuts, capless weapons are extremly usefull, woulnŠt lost my last Navy Mega with capless guns... 
I would not say the Pest is fine as it is(because it is not realy) Mealstorm and Phoon are. Mealstorm fitted right nearly reach 1.1k DPS at 3km and got fare more overall range, far better Tank for example.
Guess how much capless weapons do when your tank shuts down, as the tank is never capless. Of course, that doesn't hold true for passive fits. But then again, minmatar ships always have worse EHP and your capless weapon won't save you in 90% of the cases. Worse EHP and worse dps = you lose even though you're using capless weapons. I'm a 52mil minnie pilot and I only fly them. I do know what I'm talking about ;)
THIS.
By the time you cap out a mega, you will be dead.

Astro hit the head on the nail. Minnies have gone downhill since they nerfed utility slot items.
I remember when a single nos rifter was pretty much standard fit. |
