add cost as a value too.

CCP don't see it that way.
*cough* compressed rails, accelerated missiles, scattered blasters *cough*

Nothing wrong with the Blaster Turrets, the advanced ones kicks ass, yes, i just recently spec into vehicles in preparation for 1.5

If you keep moving and use the LAV as a portable turret, you can do some serious damage to almost anything. I talking about the 75,000 isk light blaster ( forgot the name ). Also because you can recall the LAV, is very cost effective too.

But it looks to me that CCP is going to end up making the turrets OP, same all story;

People use things wrongly, and CCP buff things for all the wrong reasons.

Still not sure what the purpose of a high damage low rof low range turret would be. it needs to have a job. like, it has the HIGHEST dps of all blasters, but u have to be on top of the enemy to take advantage of it. TO do this, give it an obscene DPS (means every shot is going to be like 225dmg, but give it a crazy falloff. Like it only does full damage within 25m, but drops off to half damage at 50m

Cost if irrelevant.
Performance matters and that needs to be balanced.

Prices will come after those, and finally when the messiah of the free market finally arrives, the demand will fix the prices.

The pear is right on this one

A couple questions.

Is that criteria true for Small Blasters on all vehicles (i.e. DS verses LAV)? I've very interested in which Advanced Blaster to stick on my LAV.

What sources resulted in your analysts?

Ammo Conservation. You won't be able to kill people so fast but you won't eat through ammunition too much. It's kind of like the breach weapons.
