At least it's no longer a split bonus. Having said that, a blaster/rail naga is going to be more useful than a torp naga, and I for one use hybrid caldari ships so I love this change Big smile

lol.

Of course, the effectiveness of the hybrid Naga is contingent on hybrids being fixed. Current improvements are a step in the right direction but there is further to go.

as much as I think torps are bad I think the naga is a lot cooler with em lol there is just too many hybrid platforms in the caldari lineup already =/

Caldari use missiles, naga was only boat that could fit 8 missiles... stripping them from the naga kills quite a bit.. and if it's a "just cross train your weapons" thing.. why not cross train ships too... too many hybrid boats to make the naga another one

Long Live the 8 launchers! Torpedo away!

huh?

As opposed to the number of missile platforms?

Have you all even used a torp naga? To get within range you're already dead. It's why the Talos has had so many problems. The torp naga would never be used unless you ~want~ to die.

And what were you planning to do with a paperthin, shortrange torpedo platform? Sit at close range from the hostile fleet and pray that someone doesn't sneeze in your general direction?
With the current stats on SiSi the Naga is actually a pretty good sniper platform (>700dps at 70k range, 370ish at 250k) so I'm actually rather happy that they removed the entire missile thing from it.
Also the model looks pretty cool with guns on it.

The talos doesn't have any problems getting into range, I've gotten quiet a few good kills with it only using an AB, Situational awareness and knowing when to fight is key with all ships, Torps on the naga have nearly twice the range blasters do, you need to know how to fly it. there's nothing wrong with torps. Especially in a fleet.

a railgun naga has superior range, and 2x the tank, of a talos.

Tedium and difficulty are not the same thing, if you don't realize this then STFU about game design.

The Naga is simply a better ship now.

Leave it alone and be happy to be able to fly it.

Oh no, you didn't train hybrids yet? What a shame that you now have a reason to....

This is silly -- no this is beyond silly, this is just stupid ... I would bet my eve wallet that a majority of caldari pilots are skilled for missiles and those taht might have some hybrid skills prolly arent high enough in hybrids to run large hybrids, let alone T2 hybrids which are what make these tier 3 BC so dangerous...

Leave this as a missile boat --- put cruise and torps on it ...

not to mention all the valid arguments for the rail naga and against the torp naga, the blaster naga has some weird/interesting things that you can do with it if you press the advantage of the range bonus and design a fit from the ground up to use null.

Any ship can be good with the right bonus's, hell if they changed it i'm sure even the raven can be a gunboat with the right bonus's

the point is there's 4 new ships coming out and people who prefer missiles are going to get screwed

Are you ONLY skilled in missiles? Really?

If you trained such a narrow path to exclude yourself from any sort of diversity, then it's your fault and only yours for being left out.

missiles are fundamentally different from turrets, and maybe the concept behind the new BC just isn't as compatible with missiles as with turrets... plus, you guys already have the drake, stop bitching.

I have trained two weapon platforms, none of which is Hybrids: missiles and projectiles.

Hybrids, since they where meehhh since like forever never was an option. This ofc is not a reason to force naga to be Missile Boat (another). It is actually a good idea to make it Hybrid, so people will train it (along with hybrid boost its possible)

All i'm saying is - compared to other t3 BC's all ships will be preatty much: buy and fly, while Naga will be negletec for a long time while people will skill up hybrids.

Split bonus allowed for a choice: I can fly it with Torps, while training Hybrids.

I too, think the Naga should have the ability to vary as a Torp boat. In fact, give every Tier 3 BC the ability to launch torpedoes too. :D

what can I say, I felt just as shafted when the drake came out. Remember the myrm was a full-fledged drone boat and these days it's just overall terribad.

The Ferox is a joke, everyone knows this and it's why you find them dirt cheap. It only has 6 turret slots anyway. The drake has 7 missile slots and is a damn good BC in both PvE and PvP.

There is no hybrid BC platform, now you have one geared towards blasters/drones, the other toward LR rails. Sure you could get a nice optimal with the Naga but you are not only paper thin, but tissue paper thin.
