Oh joy. Just as I'm about to finish cruise 5 (started shortly after they announced splitting capital missiles into torps/cruises), this gem comes along.

I think it's an official plan at CCP that Minmatar capital ships must eventually go extinct. I've lived in 0.0 for over a year by now, and fought in several major wars, and I have never, ever seen a Hel or Ragnarok outside hull preview window (I was DDed by an xDeath Ragnarok once, but I never had the time to actually see it). More often than not, when I take my Naglfar into a dread fleet, I'm the only Naglfar pilot there, and even when there are others, it's never more than a handful - in fleets numbering 50+. Same goes for Nidhoggur - I've never flown mine with another Nidhoggur on the field, and while there were occasions when someone took one to support a dread fleet, those are exceedingly rare.
So, since it's an established fact that Minmatar capital ships are nowhere neat FOTM, yet they keep getting hit with nerf after nerf, one has no choice but to assume that CCP plans to nerf them completely out of the game.

Addendum: while I have never seen a Hel or Ragnarok in space, I have seen Wyverns, Aeons, Nyxes, Avatars, Leviathans (first titan I ever saw, in fact, was KIA Leviathan flown by Omega Theory) and Erebuses plenty of times, both friendly and hostile, so I do have a pretty good sample size.

Now if I train for Amarr the nerf train should reach full circle soon enough.
Considering that the people who have trained Amarr Dreadnoughts outnumber those of us who trained Minmatar by some absurdly huge amount and they just keep getting buffed (what's the word on infrastructure hub resists again? All Exp/Kin, all the time?), I don't think that's likely.

I'd love to see a justification for this change, because as far as I can tell there isn't one.
There still are some pilots flying Minmatar capitals - this cannot be allowed to continue. Hence the changes.

This is simply insulting. A new devblog entry is out concerning capitals, and the massive Naglfar nerf isn't mentioned at all - not even in passing. It's like the ship already doesn't exist.

Agreed (even though I just finished training cruise 5 in anticipation of torp nerf). Toss the launchers, adjust fitting, and since you're too lazy to copy and paste another segment into the model, give it a role bonus of 50% damage to projectile turrets. Then give it 5%/level bonuses like every other dread.
