It’s to prevent lasers from being fitted to other ships. That’s not a general issue with lasers. Similar things happen with damage bonuses to certain weapon types only for certain races. Quite comical, though, that Abaddons with 1400s used to be quite good even when compared with Minmatar ships.
Although all Amarr ships with laser focus could benefit from a skill level or role bonus to laser capacity usage. It would be in line with their weapon philosophy and technological expertise.
Any turreted weapon except Trig and Eden can be fit to other turreted ships - so I don’t necessarily see it as a huge issue. It’s not really any different for missiles as there are a handful of ships with launchers and no accompanying bonuses.
I don’t necessarily think all Amarr ships need or should receive a laser cap bonus. The ones that do make them a bit unique.
Then Amarr ships should have a bigger cargohold for more cap sticks. The Apoc is sort of fine when it comes to cap stability, but the Abaddon in any laser configuration sucks itself dry in a matter of minutes of sustained laser usage (not to mention prop mods and resists/reps/ewar). Abso, Omen and Maller have similar issues.
The sticks. No one cares about the crystals. Since the Myrm got a cargohold buff because of “focus on active tanking”, Amarr ships should get more cargo for cap sticks because of their cap heavy weapon systems.
Nah, the lack of ammo-space offsets this pretty well. Also don’t forget that especially Ships like the Abaddon and even Maller are mainly designed for fleet battles, where Amarr Fleets always have remote cap transfer available. They are made with this in mind, the capbooster is only an emergency measure in case the captransfer fails or arrives too late.
I am an Amarr Only Pilot and would surely appreciate a larger cargohold for more capsticks, but is it really nessessary? I’d say: No.
The new nullsec upgrades might make the nullsec more boring.
For example ive been fighting a lot of different stuff in the same few systems for the last few months. But after Legion these systems will likely be upgraded to favor one type of ship over the other. So the enemies will be flying this type of ships and so will our allies and so will we. It leaves less room for people to be creative among other things.
