I was talking about 1 single HAM missile.

I guess the difference is the little bit of damage increase and speed. Not worth it. I feel sorry for the people that bought it because, OMG NEW SHIP!!!11.

Probably when the price settles it will be 200mill, maybe cheaper. I don't see it being used for lvl 3 missions, PVP, or really much of anything. The little bonus you do get does not match the price. What is funny is CCP answer to this, stop being cheap. I guess they are running out of money sinks so they added these new BC to add a new sink.

Quote:
A regular drake with 1 rigor 1 flare rig (most it can do without cpu implants and using faction BCUs) will do 499 damage per volley using precision scourge heavy missiles. This is with a cycle time of 6.1 seconds totalling 81.4 DPS

A navy drake using heavy assault javelins and 1 rigor 1 flare setup and nova javelins will do 470 damage per volley but with a cycle time of 3.2 seconds meaning 146.8 DPS


If you fit all 8 launchers, you cannot fit both rigor or flare. If you want to calculate this for PvE that is fine, but I am talking PvP. CCP wants to add 5% more PG to solve this issue.

I think the issue is the point of the ship. An oversized Dessy killer? Only one way to fit it to survive a BCvsBC fight and that is nano.

Very niche play for an expensive hull.

i think all the navy BCs are niche and expensive. But I expect prices to settle below 200m in a few months
