maybe it's the lack of sleep but I had an idea on how to give minmatar their alpha strikes back without going back to where amarr use our guns instead of lazers. This would ideally be combined with some other changes to minmatar/arty but theres already plenty of threads out there for discussing that.

This bonus is designed for ships that already have double damage bonus (tempest, rupture)

20% bonus to projectile damage per level
5% penalty to rof per level (so at max it has a 25% slower rof)

Now before you start screaming that a 100% increase to damage at max levels is overpowered when combined with the rof penalty these bonuses do ~4% less dps than the current tempest (at max level). This would mean at max level it does 60% more damage than the current tempest in alpha strikes.


so what do you think

Under the current system, you get 125% damage/75% reload time = 166.6% at level 5
New system, 200% damage / 125% reload time = 160% at level 5

Superficially it seems reasonable, though I haven't considered the impacts on module stacking (if there would even be any). 4% reduction in overall damage isn't much for such a large increase in alpha, maybe it should be a bit more...



edit - I took the absolute 6% difference out of 166%, forgetting to convert back to 100%

that actually makes sense. Alpha strike is basically the only saving grace minnie ships can look foward to.

a tad more alpha may be nice.
