The Caldari Merlin needs at least one more missile slot for a total of 3. And another low slot while you're at it. I am tired of flying Caldari ships and finding out that half of the turret slots are not for missiles. WTF. I am Caldari. I shoot missiles. Give me more missile slots. |

Kestrel is a fine, uber-cheap, throw-away pvp missile-frig. Merlin is still better. Hookbill is the best of the non-T2 bunch. |

A merlin is both a harpy and hawk, its just a young baby that hasn't decided it's future yet. It is decided by sacrifical cerimonies that involve hundreds of ibis's and one Golem witchdoctor.
TL;DR: OP is crazy and doesn't know what he is talking about. |

I heard, the Naga is p bad too. I know right, who flies that thing? It should have torps, like a real Caldari ship, not hybrids. The Talos is the hybrid boat.

It's called a Caracal. Instead of wasting time training the Destroyers skill, you get to train the much more useful Caldari Cruiser skill.

I don't get it, the Merlin offers a bonus on hybride turrets and a resist bonus, now why would it need more missile hardpoints?
When you want to fly missile frigates Kestrell, Hookbill, Hawk..... Manticore
Leave the Meriln alone, it's about the only true Caldari ship (Hybride, Missile Shield, Okay it could use some EMC) there is and although ery skill intensive, when you're propper trained for it it's a realy good Frigate.

Err ... you're looking for a Kestrel. (one with a few additional med and low slots)
The Merlin needs another _turret_ slot, as by its bonuses it's supposed to be a gunboat. |

Coming soon. Soon, the Merlin will be like all the other "brawler" frigs - 3 turrets, no missiles. |

Psh, I'd still fit blasters/rails/autocannons/pulse lasers. That way, I can get more than you know, 50 dps... Honestly, I'd almost prefer if it had 3-4 turret mounts and no rockets. Either way, Merlin is a boss little frigate, and the proper loadout will eat cookie rifters like...well, cookies. |

This is quite possibly true, since I specced Rails looooooooooooooooooong before any of the bonuses changed to support my love of hurling couches and small cars at other people with a railgun :D
Or maybe I was just visionary! YES! Thats it!
Back to the topic: Most of the frigs have their own purpose and the Merlin, while a badass little friggie, was changed a few expansions ago to become the beginning of the Merlin -> Cormorant -> Moa -> Ferox -> Rokh tree, to support the in game storyline aspect of Caldari using rails as a secondary weapon next to missles and ECM |

Sorry to burst your bubble m8, but the kestrel/hookbill fill that role. Also, SISI has the new layout for the merlin, and they decided to ditch missles in favor of hybrids. She's awesome BTW, highly recommend.

Notes for OP:
1) Look on forums, if there are threads complaining about missile slots on a merlin and that it is in need of change, do not post as there are too many threads already.
2) If there are no threads on how the merlin needs more missile slots and is in need of a change, do not post as it is only you who has a problem and ccp will not change a game just because one person wants a change.
i believe if you follow these two points the eve community can be improved for the better.
regards, Drakos. |
