Incubus are in fact slower, as their listed speed and in game speed implies. An Incubus with an afterburner will move as fast as a Python without an afterburner.

Fitting a side gun is all well and good but again, if you want to use that rail vs infantry you're relying on them not having much / any AV presence. Sitting still in a ship that's bigger, slower to accelerate, slower at top speed, and that takes bonus damage from virtually all AV, while having more pronounced weak spots = losing ISK. Also, missiles destroy Armor tanks better than railguns ever will, and they only do marginally worse vs shield tanks than rail guns. The only thing small railguns excel at over small missiles is killing pythons. That's it.

I'm just over here laughing that the easiest most rewarding ship got buffed further.

Listed air speed for incubus 50.00 m/s
Listed air speed for python 50.00 m/s

I don't know where your getting this from. When ever I go to chase down an incubus with an after burner on I don't catch up and then pass him, I don't even gain on him unless he slows the ship himself. Same goes for acceleration speed, every time I encounter an incubus pilot we accelerate and burn at the same speed. Armor doesn't slow you down in the air.

My apologies if I come off as an elitist, but I try to view things objectively, logically, and factually.

Putting a plate or two on your Incubus will slow you down, to the point where even an afterburner won't help if you have excessively high armour hp, but that only applies to two or more plates anyway.

Huh, I broad sided an incubus point blank with my XT-201 and my gunner hitting him with a particle accelerator. All 12 missiles hit and my gunner got 6 shots on him and he didnt go down so I'm gonna say this is incorrect. That seems like a rare instance on your part. Perhaps lag, hit detection issues, or whatever else happens in this buggy game... but I've been destroyed by missiles quite easily if I'm not paying attention.
