Back from Sisi where I tested the Naga.
The beast needs a lot more CPU ! It is impossible to fit 8 Siege Launcher II with a minimum PVP fit (2 BCS II, DCU II, MWD, 2 Invuln T2)
Please don't tell me you designed it to use with T1 launchers ? |

That's a very good summary of the issue with the Naga.
But I think that, much like the Talos is bad because hybrids are broken, the Naga is bad because torps are a little bit broken too.
If you look at large guns, they have a 400m signature resolution. Why do torps have 450m ??
As your number indicate, you need a web AND a painter to do full damage to some battleshipsGǪ This should not be: as much as blasters should be the highest close-range damage turrets, torpedoes should be the highest damaging weapons to battleships.
Slightly reducing the torp explosion radius (400m for normal, 500 for rage, mayber 350 for javelin) would give a working role for the Naga AND fiixing the Raven for PVP at the same time.
You would still need either a web (close range, big effect) or a painter (long range, medium effect) to do full damage, but not both, as it should be ! |

The strange thing is that, with the new bonuses, the Naga will probably be a better blaster boat than the Talos: more range, more speed, more agility (if you consider the Talos will be armor tanked).
And while Caldari are supposed to use railguns, here too the Talos is better than the Naga for this: the problem of railguns is poor tracking, not lack of rangeGǪ
It is really strange that each ship seems to fix the defects of the weapon system it is not supposed to use  |

they want a new toy for their l4 missionsGǪ
for which a torp naga would be ridiculous: good luck killing elite frigates with torps and no drones  |

No they don't.
Split weapons means a bonus for 2 different weapons, not some utility high slotsGǪ Otherwise the Raven is split weapons too maybe ??  |

If I had to chose, I'd take a Cruise Naga 
With something like 10% damage to kinetic cruise missiles and 5% damage to other cruise missiles ?
A missile speed would be quite useless (for the range at least), and shield resistance is against the t3 BC philosophy |

Raven Ether wrote:Fact- Caldari use both hybrids and missiles.
Ask for both.
My fear is that we'd get something like 5% missile velocity and 5% hybrid range, making the ship absolutely uselessGǪ I'd rather keep the current bonus |
