Well this design sucks. Looks like orca ! but rotated LOL.

Hybrids sucks and will be sucking so Caldari friends fight for any missiles !! Otherwise you are doomed and got yet another almost playable ship. !! Caldari and Gallente are ******* orphans with these stupid hybrids ... But fight brothers ! Caldari will raise ! ehh maybe :)

Love the look.

Will I fly it, probably not if that "talos"clip on youtube is the standard. 5% armor Tornado attacks the naga and destroys is without the Naga being able to hit it.

And then there are people who complain Caldari pilots only fly drakes

After trying this out, I can say that the Naga will not be useful in fleet battles. Tracking on Rails is not enough to warrant flying them in fleet battles unless you mount at least 2-3 tracking computers. Even then, sniping fleets are way too passe to be useful in modern battles. As always, torpedo's are not useful for anything but POS shoots or hotdropping onto caps.

What I did find it useful for is belt ratting. The speed plus the ability to fling torps at 24km chews through belt rats like candy. It doesn't have the tank for anomalies which is a shame but I don't consider that a down side.

So now that all these nice looking ships are out, when are we going to see more info and Stats on these ship? It'll be nice to see what bonuses these get.

Good work! Big smile

It's so beautiful!

I don't care if it turns out to be a terribad pvp ship, I will take that ship and fly it forever! Hope one day launcher models will arrive, it really suits them.

If CCP removed the hybrid stuff from the naga and beefed up the torp bonuses this thing would be awesome. But so far its weak as hell with torps. And why put blasters on it when you can just use a Talos and get much more dps. Looks like caldari is going to be the redheaded stepchild of the Tier 3s due to the split bonuses.

the naga is funnily enough already the most agile one, it's like speeding around in a ruppy.

I agree but you forgot hybrids include blasters and rails.

Caldari have always had a split system, rails and missiles.

I agree, one or the other to give a 2nd bonus. Another missile ship I guess.

No fix to rails, a waste of SP on rail spec.

Not a diplo.

If you take a Drake, and fit it with a tank that is as abysmal as what you get with the Nag, you suddenly have plenty of slots available so you can get 800 or 900 dps with heavy assaults, which have a faster explosion velocity, and a smaller explosion radius... than the Nag will have with torps. ... and even doing this I think you'll have a better tank than the Nag... (25% to shield resists really boosts even a 2-slot shield tank with no DCU.)

so, as it stands, not much reason to pay for a Nag. when the Drake is superior in most situations... and near-enough to equal in the rest that it wouldn't matter.

Naga needs a boost if you want many folks to fly it.

I like the design.
Just it should use Cruise Missiles or Torps, not Railguns. Its Caldari. Caldari use Missiles, right ?

Yes we saw, when naga dont shot back Tornado could kill it.
We saw a Tornado could kill a sniper BS lol. Very hard kill,sure. :D

We saw Tornado is OP 1126 DPS with 3 gyro+hail. LOL
Who will using Naga without damage bonus ? No one. Furthermore the torpedos sux without target painter, can't damage with full power the small or fast ships. Can't shot afar like a drake.

Dont forget CCP why created Naga so useless, because they want to change the 0.0 drake fleets to gun fleets (tornado). Missile swarms just create lags, drones create lags, they dont want them. So, they just dont want to create another missile fleet for 0.0 fights.
Their own interest the important one. No one care players.

The Naga eh?

Can anyone at CCP enlighten me why they've stepped away from the avian names for Caldari? Especially with Naga being deity-like, surely that would have been a better fit with Gallente?


Don't forget, the Caldari Scorpion, Onyx(Latin for 'claw, and a rock snake from Pokemon)), Widow(obviously named for the deadly black widow, an arachnid), Rattlesnake, Drake(a type of dragon or a male duck), Ferox (Latin for 'fierce'), the Wyvern(a mythical winged reptile), etc, etc.

I believe they stepped outside the just avian naming for nature's predators (whether they are real or myth).

The oracle & Tornado are ok tank wise, not sure as of the talos, but I know for a fact the nagas tank is so bad, needs a buff straight away!
