Indications that more AX/Guardian stuff is coming.

Increasing the rate of Fire increases DPS in exactly the same way as increasing damage does...its just the time die of the damage over time equation...

yes, on paper... but you have to aim more often

its a difference if you can deal the whole damage in one alpha strike, or have to do it in two volleys.
especially when it comes to railguns,

if that wasn't the case, imperial hammers where the non-plus-ultra in PvP... not just regular rails

That's simultaneously increasing ROF whilst decreasing damage - (Hammers do approximately the same damage in 3 hits as Rails do in 1 give or take)
I've no issue if the Gauss cannon was replaced by something similar - that's not what people are calling for they're calling for MORE damage Higher ROF bigger weapons...to make Thargoids easier...purely for ePeen reasons...

you are mistaken here.
there are ships that have limited number of hardpoints... and we are not asking for bigger hardpoint versions for more firepower, we are asking for equality for our little ships that can not even fit 4 large gauss in the first place, because the balancing god (dev) gave them just two C4 and one C3 hardpoints.

and the DPS of a hammer that hits with all 3 rounds IS higher then that of a regular rail.
