It is not exactly a nerf. You are going to fire less shots in total, but in return hit (especially moving) targets more often. The capital ship performance will remain similar to what it is now but it will heavily reduce the performance impact capital ship combat has on the server. This counts especially for NPC capital ships that can fire about 2 razors per gun per second with a large raid nearby.
Hypothetical scenario: You fire 100 shots per minute. Out of these hundred, you miss 75 (75%). Now imagine you fire 50 shots per minute, but as compensation you miss only 25 (50%) of your shots. In both scenarios you are going to hit the enemy 25 times, meaning that hypothetically, you will perform on a similar level as you do now, and most likely even better against faster enemies.
Meanwhile, the server has to use resources for only half the projectiles that would originally be there.
