Naga being useful

Was reading on the changes on the sisi server and whine tread over the naga with its terrible bonuses, and I was trying to think if it would ever be useful. Only thing I could come up with is for the first battle with the Death Star.

It uses 4 rails with its bonus ranged rail guns from above to procect the X-wings flying in to shoot the hole of the death star. But when they all fail and no one has missles and all hope is gone, that protector naga annouces still has missles on his ship. So he dives down and enters the trench with the BC hull so its faster and uses its missle range bonus to hit that hole dead on and blow up the death star.

That is the only useful thing I can think of for it. Maybe the alliance wouldnt mind getting in touch with some industrial corps for production of them .

Hey nice, a joke of a thread befitting the joke of a ship that is the Naga.
Although you're going to have to be more comical than that to cheer up those of us who wanted the Naga to, well be flyable.

Drake > Naga


Which is fine, as the drake is cheaper, and more effective in 95% of situations. To be fair caldari have had their tier 3 BC for years, and now the naga fills it's empty Tier 2 BC slot :)

Any of the t2 BCs woudl destroy the t3 BCs (assuming semi equal pilots).

These BCs are not meant to tank BC weapons, but to dodge those of Caps.

Yeah the Naga is pretty terribad.

I mean split bonuses on Weapons that are not great to begin with with terrible fitting and a weak tank.

Sigh if only they left Hybrids to the Gallente and gave her Cruise Missiles and a Missile Dmg Bonus.

That is one use yes.

None of the Tier 3 BC's are intended for toe to toe slug fests.

They are designed to travel quickly with a roaming gang, hit large targets damn hard from range, use their speed to keep that range and stay lined for warp out... the later being their "tank".

1 v 1 slug fests are not their forte.

Edit: I'd be happier if they chose one weapons system to bonus as well, but versatility does have some advantages. I notice rails are getting a tracking buff now in addition to their damage buff, ammo buff, and reload time buff.
