Now that each ship class has its own weapon set, you can reduce their damage to 2/3, add 2 extra turrets to frigates that are missing them and give a 50% gun damage bonus to LRFs.
And four turrets on interceptors!!!
Only if long range has 8 turrets…
stop trolling.
It’s warranted.
I’m not entirely sure Frigs need those extra 2 turrets, again… I mean, the playing field “looks” kinda balanced, atm, as far as weapon damage goes…
Um the whole point is that damage can remain the same without affecting other ship classes, hence it’s in visuals. Did you read the post before replying?
Yeah, “weaken all the guns but make frigates stronger.” Sound about right?

^ this.
So no.
Where did he say anything about weakening ALL the guns and making frigates stronger? His point was that now that Interceptors, Fighters and Frigates all have separate weapon classes, Gaijin can tweak the damage values on the frigate weapons without it affecting the values of fighters or interceptors. They could add back in 6 turrets for Engineers and Guards but decrease the damage of frigate weapons to make 6 turrets equal the same amount of damage they were dealing with 4, while granting Long Range Frigates a main weapon damage bonus to bring their 6 turrets in line with the increased damage they deal over Engineers and Guards currently.
Jesus, the community gets more and more dismissive and toxic with each passing day.
Keiichi81 I think people were just missing the point that even with 6 turrets they could now deal the exact same DPS. Hell, they can give them 20 turrets and deal the same amount of DPS xD

Have you noticed the Coil Mortar’s RoF on LRFs? It’s MUCH higher.
they are still mad about the frigballz, and are afraid that could come back.
But commandblueballzcontrollingionswarhead is more balanced.
I’d put the guns back purely for cosmetic purposes if nothing else.

Acutally some frig’s weapons are statbased on the number of hardpoint, especially the mortar, that’s why it’s more powerfull on a LFR than a guard.
If they give us back 6 guns and ajust the weapons, that will be an huge nerf for LFR.
Some ships were designed visually to have more weapons on them - so cosmetically it would make a lot of sense.
I wouldn’t mind some ship classes with more guns in the future. A battleship broadside volleys should look and feel sufficiently impressive. 
(If anyone knows the series, the X series have some pretty impressive light shows in large scale combat, and that’s the sort of capital ship combat that would be pretty awesome. Turret fire everywhere plx.)

In X2, it was scary enough to have 6-9 PPCs coming at you. In X3:AP… Good Lord… 12 broadside guns… + 4 in the front + 4-8 more on top/bottom… It’s a literal wall of fire.
Decrease the sizes of frigates, maybe?
Some time ago, an HUGEEEEEEEE post appeard about the fact frigs was not big enough and looks like corvette instead of frigs,
A random patch later, BAM Bigger frigs !
Do i have to mention that size reduction will be an Up for frigz? 
Hitbox, ectect

This.
The slow firing capital ship weapons and variation of weapons just makes combat look impressive there.

Was it when they still had 6 turrets?
I don’t see the point of being that big when you only have 4 turrets, same as a Fighter does, even lower damage potential. And look at how big Fighter is.
