Quote:GÇóTorpedo projection smiliar to Raven: even with one bonus to torpedoes, it does the same amount of damage/projection than a Raven. Adding another bonus to missile damage would make this ship greatly outperform its battleship equivalent
GÇóWhy removing the torpedo explosion velocity? It was removed as it was making this ship too useful against smaller targets, which again defeats the purpose of this class.
You also have to consider in your play testing that torpedoes cannot deliver full damage output in 1v1 scenarios against other tier3 battlecruisers.
Remember the other new battlecruisers have a comparatively low signature radius (180-200) and high speed to mitigate damage output. If you want to test this ship against its natural targets, please try battleships/capitals instead
Couple things.
As others have (often) said: Raven sucks for pvp, either cruise or torp, and is mostly unused because there are always better options. So what if ithe Naga outperforms the Raven for pvp? Everyhting else does anyway. Not that any Dev will ever admit to overnerfing the expl radius/velocity of Caldari BS missile weapons back during the speed nerf.
Too usefull against smaller targets? What about the other tier 3's now?? Or are you just arbitrarily relegating the Naga to be the only one innefectual against everyhting but Caps and Structures and maybe BS? If you insist on unbonused expl velocity/radius Torps, you are doing just that.
What Torps need to reliably hit for decent damage to slowPVE Cruisers: 1) Billion isk Golem with 2) 5% bonus to cruise missile and torpedo explosion velocity per level 3) 7.5% bonus to effectiveness of target painters per level 4) 2 Rigors 5) 2 Painters (some people fit three!) 6) Tons of range bonuses + Javelins
Now ompare that to the (very few) hoops any other BS sized weapon (short or long) requires to hit PvE Cruisers, particularly in regards to those ships with tracking bonuses...
Cruise aint all that better off either. People (dev alts and trolls) talk up the range and the very mediocre damage aplication, but never seem to mention why lolFailMissileSniping Cruise Ravens suck horribly in PvP against people who arent asleep, wanking off in the back, or dead.
They usually try to mention the Drake at this point (with no range bonuses) as if somehow 75km range fighting is identicle to THIRTY SECONDS OF FLIGHT TIME or so for Cruise out to lol 249km.
Just give the Naga freeking Rail bonuses or unbonused Cruise. Still worrying about hitting smaller ships? The others will do better, I guarantee you, especially Pulse and AC.
Worried about lolFailMissileSniping range? Give the Naga an extra low or mid (without pre-screwing up the grid like you like to do, thus forcing people to use RCU 2's) and a -50% range role penalty.
Whatever, just drop torps please. Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. - H.L. Mencken |
