-Nicholas cannonfodder ps i am a noob i just love the ship enough to beg for navy version or buff

Okay...

1. I know you apologized beforehand... but next time please take a moment to use proper sentence structure, spelling and format. It is hard to read an idea in a run-on sentence.

2.

What about the Naga is underpowered?

Why does a "Navy Version" need to be created?
Why not adjust the Naga itself?


3.

Who said the Naga is "underpowered?"


Here is the problem; not all ships are good for all situations.

If you go out and get a different ship... you will have the same issue.
It will be good at some things, bad at others.


In the case of the Naga; it is used best as "sniper platform."
It has low tank (like all Attack Battlecruisers), high-gank, and limited point defense abilities (see: it has trouble coping with smaller ships).


To be frank... you should probably make a thread in Ships and Modules before making a thread in Feature and Ideas.
Ask about fits and tactics that a Naga can best use.

If you're playing with an Alpha clone, you can't fly the Naga.

Other than that, if you like the Naga, fly it. Find a fit that works for you, and have fun with it. Fly it in fleets, though, as it's meant to have support.

Bright Side of Death in Curse use Naga fleets to great effect. They kite you at 70 and dunk you with Antimatter 425mm Rails and you can't do anything about it.

From what I remember, the Naga originally was supposed to be a Torpedo boat. But then someone realized that you could do very funny and very broken things with 8 Torpedo launchers.

Which was about the only thing it was good at.

It turns that that long-range sniping with missiles was quite terrible because missiles take time to reach a target.

Go figure.

There are fans of missiles who would say the opposite.

While missiles always hit targets in range, they almost never apply full damage unless extra measures are taken (see: target painters, webs, etc).

At least with turrets you can potentially apply full damage with a quick change in trajectory relative to your target.

well im glad i got that much insight ill try and fit it right and see how it works out thanks and sorry again and the gms told me to use this with a link <.<

The GMs were entirely correct in their response. If you have a suggestion for the game this is the place to post it, but just because you have a suggestion doesn't mean that it's going to become a reality or that it will be well received by other players.

Each ship in the game has its own roles, strengths, and weaknesses and you have to make a decision about what's more valuable to you, the performance of a hull or how it looks.

Since everyone else addressed the Naga pretty well, I wanted to mention that this isn't really how Eve "works".

With rare exception, you don't really go, "Oh, well, I'm a naga pilot. I fly a naga. That's my ship."

Ships are just tools, and their uses are situational. It's like saying, "I just got a screwdriver and people keep telling me screwdrivers are no good for hammering things, but I don't have to have to swap tools."

Its the worst offender. The harbinger less so but it still looks like an apache helicopter more than a spaceship.
Do you remember the ship design contest along time ago when they got the players to design the new battlecruisers.
This was my favorite one and what i believe should be used for a new prophecy hull.

I love the Oracle but I was rooting for this one. If if they remade the prophecy into this it would be great. (Maybe get rid of drone bonuses but that's another discussion)
