there was none . you’re being trolled .
it seems you don’t understand the difference between DPS and volley damage , and the affect of turret hit damage modifiers .
let’s look at your broadsword for easy math , as the thermal and explosive resist were close to 80% each .
250 damage at 80% resist = 1250 volley damage . divide by 5 second ROF = 250 DPS . ( rounding down unknown penetrate mod )
1250 damage at 80% resist means the volley before resists was 6250 . divide by 3 , the known damage mod for wrecking shots . 2083 volley divided by 5 second ROF = 416 DPS . 416 DPS / 250 base DPS = 1.6 damage mod , or 60 seconds of spool-up . feel better ? 
abyss was intended for solo cruiser . then destroyer and frigate were added , and the rewards for those were increased proportionately . meaning destroyer abyss pays 2x cruiser , and frig abyss pays 3x . this allows new players to team up , use cheap ships with lower skills , and still make as much as someone soloing in a cruiser . and higher-skilled players can solo frig abyss for 3x the payout .
would anyone want to run T1 or T2 frig abyss if the rewards were cut 2/3 ? that’s what i thought … so be careful what you wish for that’s what will happen if ccp listen to you muppets begging for the content to be made easier …
