I vote WIN. And all the whiners who have been asking for a patch with lots of fixes rather than half finished new content, well, they still be whinin' like ho's.

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

Exactly.

Anything you might need to know about CCP's "new direction" can been observed by looking at the new Naga.

The reason CCP ditched the missile armament that they initially (and correctly, seeing as how it is supposed to be a Caldari ship and not a second Gallente BC) employed is that Torpedos and Cruise missiles have serious issues in PvP (which is, of course, why so few use Caldari BS's). CCP could easily correct these issues on the Naga, using bonuses, but they cannot do so without highlighting the problems with these missiles and Caldari BS's in general.

Rather than FIXING the problem, as a new direction might suggest, CCP has decided to continue their traditional half-assed approach. Which is exactly what they told us they would no longer do.
