Okay so when I first took out my new Merlin and realized that they had in fact taken away all missile slots....I flipped the **** out. I am in the middle of bum **** no where with my missile turrets stowed in my cargohold. WTF. But then I saw the extra low slot. I can live with that. Dont know how I feel about training gunnery though.

CCP while you're having funsies with Caldari ships go ahead and gives us that extra med. slot on the Kestrel. Oh and put the Stealth Bomber Manticore body on the Kestrel. Same ship just make it grey.

The problem is the Kestrel is now the sniping frigate with SML, so i wont' count on CCP remaking it on a rocket brawler. You have the hookbill and the Hawk for that.

The Merlin had 3 turret slots long time ago. I'm glad that CCP have returned to this idea.

You should feel good about training gunney. Caldari gunships are good now (OK well not the Eagle but welp)

The Caldari Merlin needs at least one more missile slot for a total of 3. And another low slot while you're at it. I am tired of flying Caldari ships and finding out that half of the turret slots are not for missiles. WTF. I am Caldari. I shoot missiles. Give me more missile slots.

But CCP went ahead and took away my missile slots. But they added a low slot. Not bad. While they're at it, CCP needs to add an additional med. slot to the Kestrel and give the Kestrel a grey version of the Manticore body. Same basic ship.


Caldari pilots dont just use missiles, but Hybrids aswell... check some of the other ships stats out there say like rokh and others. the Kestrel is an all out missile boat, if you dont like the merlin use that then P
