I'll hold judgement until I can try them out. Stealthbombers w/bombs suffers from a lack of HP too, anything can kill them. That doesnt stop alliances from employing them en masse against large sub-capital blobs. Likewise, a smallish gang of T1 frigates can easily kill a battlehip or three if they are lucky enough to catch them unsupported by smaller vessels. I see the new Tier 3 BCs in pretty much the same circumstances, only scaled up.

I'd honestly rather see the Hybrid Range bonus and a torp explosion velocity bonus if they had to tone down its bonuses (id really like to see both tracking/range bonuses for both systems, I don't like it when caldari boats are pidgeonholed into can use misilles and can use guns, but another boat does them 2x better...)

HIlarious. No drones to the Talos and loses its ability to control range in a fight with the web. Now its completely worthless. Just shows how lost CCP is with Gallente ships. Might as well rename it cannon fodder.

SB can use Cov-op cloak and use covert cyno to hot drop you out of nowhere, frigs can get by with that scenario purely based on the facts that they have low sigs and and usually more speed and can keep transversal high. In comparison caps cost way more than BS's so most cap pilots will steer away from pulling them out unless they have the support ships to back them up. BS's however are relatively cheap and can be flown solo w/out much economic loss to ones personnel wallet. Jus sayin

For a moment when I saw that the Naga had 8/8 gun and missile slots and two sets of double weapon bonuses, I thought CCP finally 'got' split weapon hulls.

And now they've removed that and it's ****. Don't even bother releasing it.

The more horrific and useless ships caused by hyrbid and non-heavy-missile shortcomings, the more likely CCP is to take notice of just how bad they are.
