The change to the Nag is awesome

Only a few months ago, the Naglfar was changed by CCP Chronotis to be focused more on projectile damage than relying on split weapon bonuses. See thread http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1061225, specifically post 498 on page 17 which details the changes that made it to Tranquility.

This came about after a very long period of player lobbying with proof that the Naglfar was substantially subpar compared to the other dreadnoughts. This lobbying effort even involved the CSM, and the improvement to the ship has been touted since as one of the things the CSM has achieved.

The current change on SiSi back to split weapon bonuses undoes a significant portion of the improvement. The Naglfar is already the most training-intensive dreadnought to pilot (requiring two - soon three - capital weapon systems trained as well as, for maximum fitting flexibility, both capital tanking methods); to hamper it with what will effectively be only one weapon bonus (it is mathematically demonstrable that two split weapon bonuses are equivalent to one weapon bonus on more focused ships) feels unjust and poorly thought out. On top of it, fitting it will be more problematic as the requirement to fit double the number of weapon modules in order to get the same increase in damage means less slots available for tanking.

Please revisit the Naglfar changes before Dominion and I implore you to revert the ship back to focused weapon bonuses, with citadel missiles being a supplement to DPS, not a major component. The current change on SiSi is desperately unfair to a ship that has only just been changed to let it be competitive for the first time. If you feel that the Tranquility bonuses of 7.5% each overdo it for the ship, then by all means reduce them, but please keep the projectile focus that the players and the CSM lobbied so hard for.
