A handful of Gallente ships have missile hardpoints (and turret boats from other races sometimes do too), but these hardpoints don't have any real purpose. You can squeeze a torpedo launcher onto the 7th slot of a hyperion after running out of turret hardpoints for a trivial amount of extra firepower, but it is ~~almost~~always a terrible choice vs using that PG/CPU elsewhere or equipping a more useful module in that highslot, like an energy neut/vampire. Or a tractor beam.

Roden Shipyard's flavor text of "prefering missiles" never made sense, they were always terrible "missile platforms" in the sense that sometimes they had an extra handful of unbonused missile hardpoints while the ship gave a bonus to hybrid turrets that you could cripple your fit with if you really wanted to... I think only Roden's Eris interdictor even had a ship bonus to missiles back when it was a split weapon system ship

Really, the only reason these ships still have these legacy eyesore missile hardpoints is because of wishful thinking by some dev that surely somebody, anybody in the game thinks that a launcher with defender missiles is a good idea. (Nobody does, they aren't)

Gallente and Caldari sharing hybrid weapon bonuses again would be awesome though

But the other races would get jealous of all the weapons our suit bonuses would apply to

This coupled with a 'Pyrus' Allotek Sniper rifle leads me to have the following theory. Because Allotek is actually just an offshoot sister company of Roden Shipyards they will produce some of the same weapons. Roden Shipyards in EVE has an odd trait of actually utilizing missiles which is not a custom of typical Gallente technique. In DUST we see Allotek having Nanohives, and once upon a time, drop uplinks and even sniper rifles and forge guns if you count the Pyrus series of weapons as lore accurate. This causes me to believe that Roden [Allotek] will have a similar trait in EVE of not being conventional in DUST as well. Tl;dr Gallente finally have Hybrid Rails??? *As long as 4/5 (80%) of infantry AV weapons are Anti Armor based you're never going to achieve vehicle balance CCP*

Oh well. There's still something to Allotek doing their own thing with nanohives. (I just want Caldari and Gallente to have Hybrid bonuses like we used to ) *As long as 4/5 (80%) of infantry AV weapons are Anti Armor based you're never going to achieve vehicle balance CCP*

Guys, we need to stop calling MU a 'matchmaker' when it's actually a 'teambuilder'. And I want to play FE:A now. Damn.

Cal and Gal are two extreme opposites who have nothing outside if Long/Short range. Having both suits get both bonuses would make sense.

I'm not sure but the Gallente's suit nature is also very good at suppressive fire from down range. *As long as 4/5 (80%) of infantry AV weapons are Anti Armor based you're never going to achieve vehicle balance CCP*
