As a pure Caldari pilot I'm going to chime in here. I only have missile skills, mostly because of the limitations of Hybrids. It's never been an issue in the past because the vast majority of Caldari boats support missile slots primarily. It's what we do. Like Amarr do lasers and Minmatar do Projectiles... To move away from that and give us another underused Hybrid platform shows a distinct lack of forethought or consideration for the majority of Caldari pilots. The fact is, I'd be better off cross training to Amarr and flying their missile specialised boats than waiting on my next remap [in 6 months time] to train the as yet unproven but reworked Hybrids.
A previous poster claims we want it all our way. That's just absurd. All we want is a fair go.
Oracle: Lasers Tornado: Projectiles Talos: Hybrids Naga: Hybrids
^^ Notice anything missing here?
It's not about wanting it all. It's about wanting something. |

It's the path I've chosen. Tell me this, had I trained nothing but Lasers, I'd still have a Tier 3 Battlecruiser to fly, would I not? And that race uses missiles too...
It's imbalanced, plain and simple. |

My Falcon has smarties on it, but that's not the point.
The point is that missiles are the only primary weapon system not being represented with these new ships. Regardless of whether or not rails will work on the Naga, and I'm sure they'll work just fine, it's imbalanced. |

/signed.
The Caldari Hybrid boats are amongst the least flown in the game, often seeing ships like the Rokh reduced to having a full bank of Miner II's or smartbombs. I'm quite certain we'll see plenty of Naga's in HiSec asteroid belts very soon, either ganking with blasters or mining the rocks.
I tested the Naga on Sisi and it was severely gimped when fitted with Siege II's. Fitting any sort of meaningful tank or prop mod was almost impossible and cost you way too much in the way of damage mods to be effective. Moreover, the range limitations compared to its' counterparts meant it would have very limited survivability in a fleet engagement. However, that doesn't mean you just discard the idea. You ramp up the PG and CPU or change the fitting bonuses slightly.
It can be done, no question about it. I just can't figure out if it's apathy or outright laziness that got in the way. |

Don't whine to CCP because you were too lazy to train hybrids. They're going to be less broken once the Naga is out, so you actually may have a desire to do so.
Considering the time commitment required, Hybrids aren't worth the punt. I'd be better off cross training to Minmatar and projectiles. At least I know they'll work.
The fact remains, four ships, four races and only three weapon systems represented. It's a glaringly obvious omission.
