Tried the Talos came back very disappointed. It's not possible to fit it to be even half way useful with blasters, so it seems it's a rail only boat - and rails still suck compared to the other turrets. So sorry, but the Talos is a failure from start to finish at this point in time for me.
Looking at what the posters above said about the Talos having 2 bonuses that apply for rails and 2 bonuses that apply for blasters, sorry but you're wrong. This boat would die to a battleship if it fitted blasters, it has too little tank; it would die to a battlecruiser as it has either too little tank or too little range or speed; it would die to a cruiser or frigate as it has too little tank and no effective way of hitting them in close range. The Talos has only 2 bonuses that will work for rails; it has no other weapon system. |

So, all 4 ships bare apart from turrets and mwd. I've got identical skills for all.
Talos with 425mm rail II
Javelin 0.0207tracking 18+30 range 449.9dps
Spike 0.0041tracking 129+30 range 257.1dps
1603m/s
Tornado with 1400mm Artillery II
Quake 0.0140tracking 15+65 range 410.7dps
Tremor 0.0028tracking 108+65 range 234.7dps
1661m/s
Oracle with Tachyon II
Gleam 0.0044tracking 16.5+25 range 512.0dps
Aurora 0.0218tracking 118+25 range 292.6dps
1436m/s
Naga with 425mm rail II
Javelin 0.0150tracking 27+30 range 359.5dps
Spike 0.0030tracking 194+30 range 205.7dps
1386m/s
Best short range tracking- oracle
best long range tracking- oracle
best short range- tornado
best long range- naga (though this range is pretty useless with probes and warp to)
best short dps- oracle
best long dps- oracle
best speed- tornado
Anyone spot a trend here?
And why is the naga so damned slow? It makes no sense at all if the point of these ships is to be fast and mobile. |

Well the latest from SiSi has the Naga looking much better with the rails only bonuses - the problem is it only serves to make the Talos now fall into last place.
We went from Tornado>Oracle>Talos>Naga to Tornado>Oracle>Naga>Talos. Spot the hybrids at the bottom of the pile still 
With the range bonus the Naga can now use respectable ammo and apply better dps than than Talos at any range they'd care to engage until they close to within about 20km, and that's not what these ships will be doing. So the Talos has drones now? That really does nothing to rescue this ship, it's still a train wreck.
For crying out loud CCP, it's 4 ships !! 4 ships from scratch !! Surely you can get better balance than this? |

Played with these ships in 0.0 space. I can confirm they die very easily and have been largely ineffectual so far. Here's hoping they work against capital ships, which is something not yet encountered. |
