Let's not derail the thread in which both sides were actually not that far from each other by doing 1on1 battles.
There seems to be an understanding - if I read Yber and Antonio's posts correctly - that "non-broken missiles that fill a gun-slot and that have a working counter (like CM)" didn't break the game in the past, and would not break it now if we went into that direction again. I agree.
Having -1 gun slot would be a real disadvantage and is generally not advisable, and is a status that everybody who wants to become good at pvp has to fix sooner or later. Those who are hopeless and cannot get it working, can always stick to it, shoot their ammo out, have some reasonable impact and then die.
Having that non-borked missile in a gun slot, would allow new/bad/inexperienced players to add something in a fight and it would help to avoid the feeling of "cannon fodder, can't do anything but die without contributing." I think we agreed that it is not good if players turn their back to pvp because of the frustration of not having any success ever.
If I did not misunderstand this chance for a consensus, that's when we "just" need a dev to make this happen.
