As per the title, larger cannons are genuinely terrible. In this post, I hope to show WHY larger cannons are awful and suggest a possible rebalance which would keep the spirit of the weapon the same while increasing its usefulness. Even statwise crunching the numbers, the first cracks show...
Hi there all o/ (Images below)
So I've been mulling over this for a while and it's finally gotten to the point where it annoys me enough to talk about it.
While some people enjoy the Odyssey engine lighting because it makes things feel 'more realistic', a lot of things were ruined by the change...
First of all let me acknowledge the difficulty of this task that the devs have to do. In the current system it's too easy to make money with bounties as a low ranking player and it falls of very quickly as you get better and better ships.

Clean drives don't really seem to help much with what they are "supposed" to do. The increase to thermal spread is counteracted by the increase in power draw, which leads a near insignificant change. All you end up with is a marginally faster ship with significantly increased power requirements...
Even as someone who is not particularly a hardcore combat pilot, i can say for sure that i did observe the Alliance ships came and went without much fanfare at all. Since their release, i have barely met anyone who talks about them, hell, i think people barely even acknowledge they exist.
And...
Massacre missions have FAR too high kill requirements for what they're worth, necessitating a pretty extreme grind of combat zones over several hours which would be FAR better spent in a RES site.
This would have been fine if it was still possible to stack massacre missions, except you now have...
