Played with Naga fittings on Singularity.

The good:
* The current hybrid bonuses make it more useful than a split weapon layout, since it lacks the speed and tank to use torpedoes
* It will be a great fleet ship since it can hurt at closer ranges than usual, thanks to the generous damage + optimal bonuses per level
* It's possible to fit 450mm, 2x damage mods, tracking mods, AB and a decent active tank
* Passive tank is not an option, sig radius and mobility are your friends here
* Plenty of room in the cargo for cap charges now that hybrids are smaller (yay!)
* Can reach the 300+ DPS @ 50+km of a cruise Raven without compromising it's tank or mobility

The bad:
* Feels too short on grid, 3x Current Routers are mandatory right now if you want a full rack of weapons + anything useful on mids

And the funny:
* They removed the torpedo bonuses fearing it would make the Naga too useful against small targets, but it was relatively easy to one-volley Sansha frigates/cruisers at range with a painter and AB to keep transversal low. Since you don't have drones, you rely on support for everything closer than 30km, but it ironically it's much more effective for smaller targets with rails than it would be with torpedoes.

Overall, I think it's pretty decent. I would love to see some ECM bonus in exchange for 5% of the optimal though, it would make it more unique, or maybe give the Ferox an ECM bonus to differentiate. Right now it feels a bit like what the Ferox or the Rokh should have been.

This is awsome

Pros

• Raven visuals are just epic
• Caldari ships are just epic
• Naga looks epic
• Engine trails are a nice comeback
• Warp effect is just stunning, especially when warping through planets, just epic :)

Cons

• Naga as a hybrid boat will probably be one of the least used ships
• I don't know about many Caldari pilots that have trained for T2 hybrids
• Thus effectively there is no new ship for Caldari pilots in this expansion
• Golem looks just plain gay, who desided upon this color? Some spoiled oil-rich arab kid???
• Engine trails "cover" up most of the engine effect, at least when I tested it with the Crow, so the beautifly engine effect wont be seen much.

also CCP, another expansion and FW continues to be neglected. it's not like you said you were going to focus on that or anything.

I can create a bookmark from a probe scan results list, but it is not warpable-to

I have to warp-to using the result itself, THEN create a bookmark.

This sucks. I do NOT want to be warping my Helios to every radar/mag site in eg. a Class 3 system before I can pass the bm on to corp etc.

This

WHAT! No Walnuts in the Customs offices without special permission? Glad I am not Amarr.

The completed Cyno Graphic is excellent but the sound effect is a bit underwelming and yes EvE has sound.

There is a problem with the displayed Capacitor and what the Client is sending the server. The Rhea has a Max Capacitor of 43750 and needs 71% (31062) in order to Jump. When the cap recharges to 31178 ( displayed on the Capacitor) the client tells me I am only at 21561 (49%) and I can't jump. Only when the capacitor reads 85% (37200) indicated on the Rhea hud am I able to jump.

If I am doing something wrong let me know otherwise I will submit a bug report.

hehe, the Jita statue is blown up now. Thats awesome.

In hangar view I can't move the camera around at all. Stuck at a head-on view of my ship. Win 7, I7 930, Radeon 5870.

EDIT: This frozen hangar view seems to happen when load station environments is toggled off.

Also, the blinky lights on ships show through the model in the preview window (in ship's info window). Doesn't seem to happen while flying in space though.

All in all I love all the new gooddies on Singularity. But I'm also upset about the Naga losing It's launchers. I don't normaly fly Caldari ships, but this one was looking like my next new ship. Please put the launchers back on. Other then that 2 big thumbs up on this expansion.

I don't know if this counts as a bug. Warping through a planet has good graphics, but you can still slowboat into a planet or moon and see the messed up graphics. Warping from inside a planet also seems to confuse the warp tunnel effects too, it takes a long time before you see anything.

As long as we are making changes to help immersion while FiS, are we getting a collision bubble for planets and moons? Also you may want to consider making the game not allow making a BM inside a planet or moon as you warp through it.
