I was just helping a newbro fitting his caracal and he thought that the highest the rof, the best the launchers (ie the basic rapid light missile launcher I should be better than the caldari navy one).

Just rename it to have a correct meaning.

However, heat (possibly leading to weapon failure) and exhaustion of ammunition mean most automatic weapons are unlikely to sustain their cyclic rate of fire for a full minute. That is why lo...

The dimension of rof is a frequency (eg inHz, that is /s).  
It is not fine, it is misleading people who don’t know it’s used badly.

I think this is not the correct place. Someone could merge it with [Little things / Small QoL suggestions](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/little-things-small-qol-suggestions/3545/1) ?  
I report my OP for off-topic.
