I don't explain the difference in speed between the four races for these attack battlecruisers.
Making the caldari slow because overall the race is slow (and yet has the smallest ships, wtf, but that's another story) is as stupid as not giving torpedoes to gallente bombers because their race doesn't use torpedoes.
Attack battlecruisers are designed to be fast, as well as stealthbombers were designed to have torpedoes. All stealth bombers have the same torpedo bonus regardless of the "background" of the race, why would it be different here ?
My point is, speed on these ships isn't even linked to a sniping or a brawler role, as the tornado has the most velocity while it's clearly a sniper.
I bet you guys never though that, eventually, not everyone is using the naga with ****** railguns, and as such, a bit of speed would be appreciated as we are the slowlest both in speed and agility. :/
No need to be a genius to see why Caldari ships are not balanced for pvp :
- Missiles are by default unable to apply damages to a smaller target than the ship itself
- Railguns are bad
- Being small, AND slow, AND less agile won't help
- Overall, having range bonuses is useless if you have to stay at range of a warp disruptor. (24km, minus the margin you need to react any enemy movement, margin even more important that the ship has bad agility and speed).
- Sniping mechanics are dead because of combat probes, and died a second time now that said-probes are buffed.
I was hoping that the attack battlecruiser rebalance would give a fresh breath to the naga... And I'm fine with the range bonus, but it locks you into a mindset were the naga is a sniper, and as such needs to be bad at moving around... While lowering all brawling capabilities ! (And no the Talos doesn't have enough midslots for us)
The worst part is that, actually, snipers could use to be agile and quick, as kitting is the only way to survive in sniping currently, apart from warping out, but I'm not sure that a "warp-out" gameplay is intended...
