I played around with the naga on test server today and IMHO IT SUCKS ASS compared to the other tier threes. I cannot see it being a viable platfor with its current bonuses. To be honest, I wouldnt mind if it was to specialize in torpedo dps, but it needs an explosion velocity increase and a damage/rof increase. As it stands, it currently recieves range bonuses, but the torpedos are able to hit jack sh*t and it doesnt have nearly the dps as the other platforms. As far as it being a dual purpose boat, capable of using both rails and torpedos. Give it the same bonus, either damage or rof, to both torpedos and rails, but make it unable to fit cruise or blasters. This would allow it specialize a little more, so it would be capable and practical to run as a close or long range platform that is good at what it does.
These tier threes are supposed to have bs dps on a bc hull, and be very good at it. As it stands, the Naga has less dps than the raven, and cannot fit much in terms of a tank. I was completely unable to fit a single large shield extender with all lvl 5 fitting skills for my launchers and tank, as well as engineering 5. I will say that the cap is pretty nice, 3:30 seconds with microwarpdrive, scram, and resists running.
I also noticed, when fighting an oracle, that there is a major gap in the speeds of these two ships, which may not necessarily be a huge problem. as long as the Naga has something good going for it. But at the moment I can only see myself having to train a new race in order to have a USEFUL teir three battlecruiser.
CCP, I understand that the Naga was OP in its first iteration, BUT PLEASE FIX THIS! Caldari have always been on the bottom in most classes when it comes to pvp, the ferox is a POS, the drake has the sig radius of a small city when fitted for t2 launchers and extenders, and today, except for POS bashes, the raven is unused and not accepted by fc's, and the Rokh is utterly useless. For a class that is meant to be full PvP I would like to see the caldari in the upper tier of the pecking order for once. |
