Propably the best looking ship out of the four, but they all have their own charm. Can't wait to see them all in the game.

Bonuses to torps, rails and blasters but not cruise missiles? Why do you hate cruise missiles CCP? Sad

Love the design, I'll second that I hope it comes with similar bonuses and capabilities to the other ships. "It's flexible" is not a bonus - if anything it means that it needs more bonuses, enough to make various fittings equally viable.

Can anyone at CCP enlighten me why they've stepped away from the avian names for Caldari? Especially with Naga being deity-like, surely that would have been a better fit with Gallente?


even the "Robin" would have sounded more caldari than "naga" as a snake

small question:

are the BPO's of the new BC's seeded like all other tech 1 BPO's?

Will the naga also be able to fit cruise launchers?

*above two posts

That's what I though, Caldari boats were named after beasts of flight...

and I will sop be buying a BPO for this bad boy. Torp/Cruise + Hybrids...8 high slots...what are we looking at for max blaster DPS?

I like making things explode.

After this ship goes live my good old siege Raven will be set out to pasture. He's been a trusty bird. Tried, true and faithful. Ahh, I remember when I first got him.... ::flash back wavy lines:: I was a pubby back in those days, gawking at the awesome firepower torpedo's had to offer. He was just a little puppy that I picked up while browsing in Jita. (That's when I still had a positive security status, mind you) He jumped up, licked my face and was just so darn cute, he melted my cearbear heart.

So, I set to training up for those fancy schmancy tech 2 siege launchers. Even target painters made it to tech 2 just for him. Taking off those Arbalest launchers and putting on the Tech 2 siege was a right of passage in my book. My first ever t2 large weapons.

Sure, lots of people said: "VaL, torps suck. Everything else is better then torps." And I said: "Get 'em Herbert!" Then they exploded, and didn't say much after that.

Many a tower has fallen to that Raven, and many a kill mail has it laid out the most damage. Best dern sub capital POS sieger ISK can buy, I tell you what. Probably still will be, considering tank and gank. Good old Herbert. I'll come visit the farm every so often, and hell, I might even take ya out for a run now and again. But you go on now, and breed little Ravens and Drakes a plenty!

the ship should be using cruise missiles not torps.... ccp took away the close range abilities of the other 3 ships... so should they for this ship aswell...

remove the torps and replace with a rof bonus and allow either to fit torps and cruise or just cruise...

Equally capable of fitting large torpedo launchers, large rail guns or even blasters, the Naga is easily the most flexible weapons platform of the four new battlecruisers

I like it.

As a gunner (an oddity for a Caldari pilot, I know) such a ship is really nice for me.
Honestly I don't know which of these new battlecruiser I like the best. Luckily I am qualified to fly all of them.

At first I said kinda "...meh," but it's already growing on me.

Is it too late to ask to have the vertical hull-sections canted-in towards each other (IE towards the horizontal at the top, so looking at it end-on shows a triangular, rather than dual-vertical bar shape.) a bit? That would make it absolutely perfect imho. Captures the cold, metallic "functionality first" aesthetic of the Caldari perfectly, though.

E: Clarity and typing-fail.

Because a Naga isn't a god but a legendary serpent from Hindu legends also means 'snake' in hindi and several other local languages.
