Is the Naga dead to you, or are you still excited for it?

Naga is in fact a Gallente ship.......
When is Caldari going to make a BC?

Are you referring to my real age or my Eve age which you so parade around here? I get better completion times with my CNR with rigors compared to my Rokh and I don't agree with what you said. Maybe I can't fly a turret boat well. Maybe you can't fly a missile boat well. So if I don't agree with you you'd call me out on my age?Anyways,all I did say was your missile skills didn't suck and you STILL have a problem with it? Roll

Anyways, not gonna reply further. Fly safe,old man. o7


Ok, just to set the record straight, sorry if I appeared pedantic or the truth owner, it wasn't my intention. I'm not a native English speaker, so sometimes what I think in portuguese doesn't comes out good in english. What I meant to ask was how long you've been playing. Because in old times, a raven was expensive, and a CNR was the stuff of legend. We didn't had rigs then, and it was hard killing small stuff with cruises. We had to use our mids only for tank, so we didn't even fit target painters (no rigs, remember?). With the Rokh we could kill small stuff while they were approaching, faster than using cruise missiles. Today I agree, it is a subpar mission ship.

Was I clear? Really sorry man for the negative idea I passed.

^troll/blind/forgetful

One of the most caldari ships out there is a BC, called the Drake. It's a better ship than the earlier version of the Naga would have been.

Though I have lost some interest in the Naga since that many torps would be way too much fun (not necessarily good) - have not lost complete interest in it however. The Naga is now the best over 150km sniper in the game. Very few things are going to be able to catch you, let alone have any tank left if they do, short of a good scanner.

Really looking forward to seeing more of the T3 BCs out in space since they are going to make great fireworks. Of other ships and themselves.

By your logic the Ferox is also Gallente.
And the Rokh.
And the Moa.
And the Osprey.
And the Merlin.
And the Bantam.
And the Cormorant.
etc & navy variants.

No, people. This is wrong. Clearly the Naga is the first Caldari ship to use hybrids. Why would any Caldari pilots have any SP in hybrids / turrets?

I dare you to name a Caldari Navy Ship having a hybrid bonus or being made for hybrid , not unlike some Caldari players The Caldari Navy doesn't use hybrid turrets, making an even bigger case as to why missiles are a primairy weapon system to Caldari at least.

Quick query -

Has anyone tried one in PvP yet?
or is this just commentary based on EFT and the fact that it got changed from its original design.

If CCP changed it, I would assume it was because they wanted to give some players something different.

If it is a mini Rokh then perhaps its designed to be an entry level version so that players can get used to the role of a sniper whilst buying a ship which is more than half the price of a Rokh (based on Jita pricing)?

Well , i'm also expected Naga to be an 8 missile boat \o/ !!! i tested in on SISI , liked it !!! But after patch i noticed That ccp removed missiles :(

Well , let;s see : we have 8 slots for ( large weapons ) Autocanos , artillery , blasters , railguns , beam lasers , pulse lasers , but we don't have an 8 missile boat :( , well , we do have one , which is raven state issue which is only few in game and if u will be lucky and someone will decide to sell it - 150+bil ???!!!

I'm not complaining , but it would be lovely if CCP would consider to make an 8 missile slot ship . Atleast make it 8 cruise missile boat or something .

The naga looks like a pretty nice ship.

It does really, really good damage at range. It's actually a decent caldari rail platform that will be viable in a small gang. Blasters go pretty nicely on it, too.

I think it's more the lack of a missile platform than it's on the Naga it self. common responce to that is that missile suck in PVP.

What ever happens, I think someone at CCP should try to make clear what they want with the missile platform or keep it as a secondairy weapon systems people keep telling me it was once intended for.

are they going to fix it, are they going to sell it as a PVE weapon only, although heavies and rockets seem to do fine in PvP, or keep it as a secondairy weapon systems people keep telling me it was once intended for, though at the moment there are more Caldari missile platforms then there are Hybrid platforms.

Which explains the great number of relatively new players that are more specialiced in Missiles then hybrids.

When making the step to gunnery it usualy ends up more intresting to use an other platform then hybrids. projectile/artillery for example opens up ships that can be used better/ faster than the Caldari hybrid platforms. the only Caldari frigates I see (I'm in lowsec) are Hookbills sometimes a Merlin, a Hawk and sometimes a Harpy.

but opening Minmatar frigates opens up way more ships which are superior and al it takes is 4 a 5 days of extra training, about 1 day to puch it to Minmatar frigats to 4.

I don't know when this Caldari change to missiles as a so called primairy weapon came but with all easy and the not so "cookies" being missile platforms, it is there.

I have to say, that I am pleased with the Naga. I don't have one yet, but will soon.

It is a great way for CCP to showcase the Railgun boost, and gives me another reason to train Hybrids, which are already part of my skill training plan.

10% damage boost to Railguns, plus the 25% damage bonus the Naga has, makes it a truly fearsome ship at long range.

After all, Caldari are the long-range fighting race, and the Naga encourages players to really adopt that tactic, which is what we are supposed to be doing with Caldari anyway.

Please, I'd rather fly a Naga to be honest, Talos simply doesn't impress me.

I'm sorry about what happened in forums the other day. Looking back at what I wrote I could have also been a little more discerning concerning what I wrote. No need to apologise at all, it was as much my fault as anyone's .

I'm not very old in-game about eight months in. What you had to share about the game was very insightful and I didn't know about the CNR being that expensive. I guess 'm just spoilt now because the ISK is so easy!

Once again,really sorry about all the negative vibes.
Hope there are no hard feelings. Big smile

Personally I would have loved the torp spec naga. I can see the gunnery people needing some love, but it'd be nice to address the problems with BS sized missile systems also rather than sweeping them under the rug like they did.

If I flew any of them it'd probably be the oracle.

The Naga is fantastic, and in my opinion easily the "best" of the four for small gangs.

It can be used in a wide variety of forms, puts out respectable to insane damage at a large variety of ranges depending on fit and can actually have something which resembles a tank.

In short, naga; it's good (tm)

IMHO Naga should have launcher hardpoints. Torps for brawling, bonused cruise for ranged attack.

It already has huge range. Why would it be better with missile flight time and horrible explosion velocity on cruise missiles?
