Since there was opposition to changing the Naga, here's an alternate idea:

.....

Caldari Battlecruiser skill bonus per level:
5% bonus to Cruise Missile and Torpedo explosion velocity
10% bonus to Large Missile velocity

Role Bonus:
95% reduction in the powergrid need of Large Missile Launchers
50% reduction in the CPU need of Large Missile Launchers

Since we apparently need a missile ABC, why not just remake the Tornado? Lol

"**CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"**

Never forget.

I can say it looks pretty. However I feel the naga should've just been missile, but that's just me not being able to let go of the one time used it sisi before the turrets were changed. That said. RHML would be absolutely broken on a missile naga. It would be akin to a caracal boasting a 8 rapid lights. Or maybe a really big talwar. A little too strong against frigs for my taste.

Note: I would like to run some numbers to prove this however, as it could be an interesting ship. If it were changed it would not be a new ship, but a rebuild of the naga.

Rapid Heavy Missile Launchers fire Heavy Missiles, not Light Missiles. Hence, er, the name. So it's absurd to suggest that it would be OP, or even useful, against frigates.

I agree that the Sisi missile Naga was memorable though. As in "lol this is useless, who thought this was a good idea?" memorable...

Yes instead of using the race that has missiles as their primary weapon system lets use the one that uses them as secondary weapons system. It makes perfect sense. :/

Caldari have a similar number of hybrid ships as they do missile ships. Missiles are hardly their only primary weapon system.

I think the high risk/high reward nature of ABCs (tons of damage and fast, but squishy and prone to tracking problems) doesn't really lend itself to the consistent damage that missiles provide.

Listen i want a drone BC..... like the dominix but BC size..... that would make me really happy.

Caldari uses railguns has there primary weapons, missiles has secondary.
Gallente uses blasters has there primary weapons, drones has secondary.

Thats why we dont have them. Happy now? Do you understand yet?
Now for fun, yes id like a drone... ermm.. i mean missile cruiser, the problem is something with so much range being able to go so fast without traversal penalty might be a bit OP in DIFFERENT ways, that's why id like to see it be done.

Pretty sure missiles are a primary weapon for Caldari.

In the same way that drones are a primary weapon for Gallente.

EDIT: Nvm, didn't realize you were responding to a bad post about factions having only one valid primary weapon

No worries. Just seems odd to have two hybrid-based ABCs. I think you'd have a small Jita riot on your hand if you attempted to switch the Tornado over to missiles, hence the suggestion to just change the Naga.

i think we need a second set of ABC designed to secondary weapon systems , missiles , autocanons ect.

Bugs are opportunities to cause unprecedented amounts of destruction. --Zorgn ♡♡♡

Same hull, just different weapon systems?
