Turret Based Cruisers NEED a PG boost, a Maller cant really equip any good Cruiser sized guns without sacrificing its armor tanking abilities, I suggest a skill with 5% reduction in PG use for weapons, or as a secondary bonus to lvl III cruisers since they really need a PG boost. The PG between tier III cruisers and tier II is miniscule for most cruisers(lets not mention the blackbird, thats EW)

I agree. Try fitting a Maller with lasers and some decent armor tanking. 
Doesn't work at all.
Yeah especially since Caracals can Tank/Fire full force easily.
Also Armas and Apocs can both tank/Fire full force, their cruiser equivalent which is the maller should be able to do the same with cruiser sized guns.

As for PvE, the Maller is a monster. I was pretty effective in an Omen and my Maller has gotten better and better with the last two patches. I get the kind of range now with five meta focused medium beams where using a shield booster on the Maller actually makes sense. Damage has gone up some 30% with a reduction in range of around 10% and significantly lower cap usage. Cap also recharges like mad and I do have added armor.
Just curious, because I haven't tried it yet: Have YOU tried fitting newly improved medium pulse lasers and medium armor repairers for short range armor tanking?
Have you tried taking out Sansha/Blood Raider BS Spawns with your maller?

you know, ships aren't supposed to be able to deal huge damage, outrun the competition, AND tank. You're sort of begging for the ability to fit the perfect set-up, and that my man is simply not reality.
Either you tank, or you fit for damage and speed. You really can't do both at the same time with 100% effectiveness, and this is the way it should be.
Then how come Armageddons or Apocs can easily do all that then?

I'd check in for mental treatment should I ever feel the urge to take on multiple bs spawns in a cruiser.
Comparing the Maller's capabilities to that of a battleship is rather hare-brained. No offense to the hares.
Ive taken on BS's in my blackbird...
