EVE General Discussion

******* forum keeps eating my posts!

Short version of my deceased post.

Can't find the vids...you do the digging through YouTube if you want to see them and yes they were being fired at but they were fast and at close range to where the BS's couldn't hit them.

And the problem there is what? They're using the same weapons systems, they have similar bonuses. Perhaps the battleships need webs to hold smaller targets in place?

Stealth bombers have been using torpedoes for a long time.

I play paper. Rock is fine. Nerf scissors!

I was really having a good time in 100mn HML Nagas.

It's not about needing a missile boat, it's about wanting a missile boat. Why not give the Naga the flexibility to field either weapon system? Is there a reason for it?

I chose Caldari because I like missiles, especially torpedoes! The thought of 8 torp launchers raining death on my enemies for 50m makes me wet in the panties.

Also, Caldari players (most anyways) know that the Naga is a good boat, but we picked Caldari because we think missiles are the ****, and CCP decided to give us all blue balls when they yanked our awesome torp boat from us.

I am happy with the Naga, and unless there is a good reason to exclude torps, I kindly request that CCP make an awesome boat more flexible for those Caldari that don't have gunnery trained.

From dev post they explained missles have rigs that mean they can shoot smaller targets easier, and like OP said they are for fighting supers and such. CCP couldnt find a good way to make them work, always did well against smaller targets they werent designed for.

This is just another "I fly Caldari and I trained only missiles because fck you, and now I'm bawling", isn't it?

Missiles are more prevalent in the lineup and Caldari lack a true gun frigate (The Merlin has a split weapons system), but, based on the fact that there are still a fair bit of hybrid vessels in most classes, I would say missiles and railguns are both primary weapons systems and it just so happens you can also fit blasters (you can fit both types of hybrids, but the bonuses are designed to boost the strenghts of just the one type).

Galente are similar. They have a strong lineup for both blaster ships and drone ships, but can fit rails.

It's not like Amarr where you have two kinds of lasers and a couple ships more biased towards drones, or the Minmatar that are mainly artillery and autocannon platforms with room for missiles, with both races have some specialty T2 ships. In those cases I would call missiles or drones secondary weapons systems.

Go Away.

Torp naga is a terrible idea, and Rail Nagas completely rock.

Cripes, just look at what we do with them: http://shadowcartel.com/kb/?a=kill_related&kll_id=24930

if those were torp nagas, they'd all be dead nagas.

look at my blog, we did something similar earlier this week as well :)

That is a disgustingly good fight you had there.
