This just makes the Naga a Rokh with a far less favorable tank.
Rokh: 10% to hybrid range 5% to shield resists.
Naga: 10% to hybrid range 5% to hybrid damage.

With the prices bound to be similar between them and the speed of the Naga not being it's selling point, what benefit is there to having the Naga over the Rohk? If the Naga could be used as a high speed blaster or torp boat it would give it an applicable role, smash and grab assault. Wit this ballancing the Naga does no better in cap or BS warfare than the Rokh which can stay in the fight a lot longer due to it's tank, increased PG and similar price/skills. IMHO, the Naga is out of place with this bonus set, simply making it a less favorable version of the tier three BS and no real individual role.

More turret DPS???

Ignore my previous posts, just been on SiSi. The GFX and Space depth are awesome, I can live without the Naga ;P

Nice Job CCP!

so what was wrong with increasing the torpedo velocity to 20 or 30% per level?

Previous Post- I don't care!

You can stick it far enough up your A** that it reaches your mouth and you can chew it for a couple of hours!!!!

Shouldn't you be playing MW3 with the rest of the 13 year olds?

Not sure if you are being ironic - but the Rokh tank numbers are not 'balanced' compared to their armor brethen; the Amarr Abaddon.

Like the Rokh it also gets 5% resist bonus, but unlike the Rokh, it doesn't lose a tank slot to a MWD, and still has mid slots left for Cap Boost and a scram. The Rokh has to use those slots for tank and the low slots for cap stability and tracking, and with a like for like shield extender for plate etc - the Abaddon comes out at an average of 80% resists versus 75% on the Rokh, while having a vastly smaller signature, similar speed, longer range and more damage. Depending on how you want to fit it, you can end up with 70-150,000 EHP difference in tank numbers.

Amarr also get, a damnation that can fit a 400,000 EHP buffer tank (yes, it can go that high) - that will increase with the new T2 gang links to even more, a guardian logistics ship with the smallest signature almost twice the EHP of the Basilisk, with a better overall fit, and a triage carrier with the best cap regeneration.

Combined with lasers, this is why armor fleet gang = best fleet gang.

The Caldari Hybrid boats should be level pegging with the Amarr, but the difference is quite vast in fleet viability at present because of the Vulture tank and signature / EHP size of the Basilisk. Even with the hybrid fixes Caldari pilots can only stare at the Drake and ECM boats as really useful in PvP.

Well the latest from SiSi has the Naga looking much better with the rails only bonuses - the problem is it only serves to make the Talos now fall into last place.

We went from Tornado>Oracle>Talos>Naga to Tornado>Oracle>Naga>Talos. Spot the hybrids at the bottom of the pile still

With the range bonus the Naga can now use respectable ammo and apply better dps than than Talos at any range they'd care to engage until they close to within about 20km, and that's not what these ships will be doing. So the Talos has drones now? That really does nothing to rescue this ship, it's still a train wreck.

For crying out loud CCP, it's 4 ships !! 4 ships from scratch !! Surely you can get better balance than this?

Excellent work on the Naga changes!


It works and feels a lot better as a dedicated hybrid platform. With the now appropriate bonuses the ship is viable and actually usable. Some powergrid/cpu adjustments may be needed - as with all the new battlecruisers - but other than that, I don't see any major problems with the Naga so far.



Thank you!




EDIT: I am under the impression that the Naga right now cannot fit Large Tech 2 Railguns at all. Someone with the skills should confirm though. Also it seems to be a little sort on CPU.


The Naga needs some extra CPU and Powergrid.

I understand the desire for the Naga to be a great hybrid platform, and I think that's good, but I very much believe that there is no reason we cannot have both missiles and guns on the same ship.

I REALLY liked having the option to field Torpedoes. A lot. Haters gonna hate, but it was one of my favorites of the new ships; none of the others had the same effect.

The biggest issue facing the Naga's damage projection was the low velocity of its torpedoes compared to that of the ship (the ship was often faster than its own missiles). Giving something like a built-in role bonus that gives it +150% torpedo velocity and -60% torpedo flight time would solve this completely, giving it more rapid projection without changing its range; I also believe that there is no good reason not to bring back the explosion velocity bonus for Torpedoes, as it REALLY would not be helping it hit smaller targets as was originally believed.
