The problem exists. Imagine you are minmatar or amarr or gallente and 3-rd tier BS is missile boat. Rather you will be disappointed. All you learnt before is going to trash, because most powerful ship is jusst opposite to streamline. ANother part of the problem is in-race balance. Amarr - lasers + a bit of drones Gallenre - hybrids + drones Minmatars - projectiles + a bit of drones and a bit of missiles Caldari - hybrids & missiles in equal quantities. For what hell? Any highly specialised Caldari will miss half of their power ships...
I don't know how to solve the problem

they never should have put in caldari ships with main weapon missiles. it couses SO many trouble.
but now they did it it is not revearsable
and still i think the problem is that all the other races will use the caldari battle ship as a pwn mobile u can have a full gank setup and ecm+jamers/webers. aint it the perfect ship for armour tankers?

Now those of us that are crazy err... dedicated (yeah I like sound of that better :p )Typhoon drivers already have/are working on drones and missles to high skill levels. On top of that we have to specialize in Arty and AC. Caldari only have learn rails which most Caldari I know, not all I admit, have done this to some extent already. No sympathy here. |

I have trianed for both missiles and rails right from the start. All you have to do is look at the Cald ships and you can see you should have both skills to make them killers.
I must addment that i run missiles on the Ferox with 2 rails. The Guns can just be to hard to fit with a good tank at first.
Can't wait for a t3 BS gunboat why all this crying if your in to combat you should have both skills trained and a good tank.

Originally by: The Wizz117 it is a frikign railgun boat olrady 50%+ of the battle ships are caldari now we gona have the gunnery people fly the caldari battle ship to like the gallante but also other races.
I hope you realize that the Raven was originally a railgun boat?
prolly not that many people here that remember when the Raven had Hybrid bonusus mate 
Can't wait for a rail platform tbh, i went gallente as my second race, so kinda already trained in hybrid ownage, so also somewhat biased

The problem is not that Caldari can use both - it's that the ship progression is so clearly defined. Kestrel > Caracal > Raven and Merlin > Moa > Well, new ship. (Before, Ferox. It's a railboat whether people like it or not, to use it with missiles is a waste of potential)
I know Caldari pilots who've never so much as looked at a railgun if it's not the one on the Ibis. And I know Caldari pilots who go 'missiles? What are they? Railguns ftw!'. It's possible to massively specialise in one without ever having to touch the other.

Originally by: Gunstar Zero what are the stats on it?
If it's 6/2 turret/missiles with a range / optimal bonus I'll cry. (which I presume it will be).
Placeholder stats are 7/4 turret/missile, 8/7/5 slot layout, CPU of a scorp and PG of a apoc and 1x 10% + 1x 5% bonus, can only guess what they will be but I would assume 10% optimal range + 5% shield resist.
Im hopig for 10% large hybrid optimal and 5% dmg >:)
my raven tanks well enough without a sick resistance bonus, thats why i cant see CCP going for one on a bigger ship.
EDIT: its gunna be SLOWWWWW as hell tho thats fo sho

Originally by: Seleene T2 425mm with Spike L on a Caldari platform 4TW.
Oh hells yes.
I'm going to be really, really, really angry if we don't get 8 turret hardpoints. If you want any missiles at all, you already have a Caldari battleship for that. Ravens are enough. I'd be happy to give up ALL missile hardpoints and just have 8/0, although I'd like 8/2 for a little flexibility.
Furthermore, now that we're getting a bit more railgunship attention, I think we need to address the problem of the Eagle only having 4 turret hardpoints. It really, really needs a fifth, it's not like it's every going to outdamage a Deimos or anything, so I say make it 5/2 or 5/1 instead of 4/2. If you want missiles, fly a Cerberus, give us that fifth turret. Rail DPS is so low that we really, really need it. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

5% reduction in ducktape consumption and 10% wish you trained another race, per level.

I've been using rails on caldari ships since forever. Once upon a time, that was the only thing to put on a scorpion, for instance.
Also, this is a great opportunity to point out the synergy when you train both caldari and gallente. More versatility = better. ------------------------------------------- "Never underestimate the power of language."

I can fire Iron ammo out to about 90km from a rail ferox - Spike will go further than that. Can you fire a heavy missile 90km?

But they get to scream 'Punch it, Chewie!' at the top of their lungs every time they go to warp, so it all evens out in a karmic sense. |

As a new Caldari pilot, I personally hate the idea that the tier 3 BS will be a rail platform, I know that a lot of folks have trained for rails, but your not new players, there is a lot to be said for "a path to follow".
No I dont have the vast majority of my skills points in missiles, strangely the vast majority of my points are in Engineering and learning.
I have no wish to train for another 3-6 months to use rails on a race that I first understood to be the missile platform.
Regards.

Relax buddy. You still have the kestral, the caracal, the raven, the cerberus, and now the nighthawk. It's okay.
Edit: I personally have put all my weapons skills into missiles. I love them . I understand if they want to make the tier 3 bs a rail platform, but I wouldn't mind seeing an 8 missile slot bs, even if it had to gimp all of its tank. Or perhaps they could just give the raven 8, and then make the new ship 8 rails.

If you use a missile ferox to fight a rail ferox, you win if you keep range.
If you're within range for Javelin, the missile Ferox dies.
If you're out at Spike's max range, the missile Ferox dies a little more slowly, but much more painfully.
Hell, even with Antimatter, the missile Ferox dies.

Caldari isn't about missile spamming, its about long range combat.
Thats why I've always hated the fact that missile ships are useful at pretty much any range. When they had splash, at least you had to be careful not to nuke your own shields.
The tier 3 Caldari battleship is probably the easiest to figure out of all four. They're the only race that clearly has a missing role. The other three races are just getting fluff to compensate for this. If I was a dev I'd either go 6 turret 4 launchers with 10% optimal range bonus and 5% shield resists per level or 7 turrets 3 launchers with 10% optimal range bonus and a shield hp bonus.
240km guns isn't that bad, at least it will get people to stop flying the missile spamming nubboat. I do have a problem with the damage of 100% range ammo.. could use a big nerf.

i don't see the problem, why is it noone wants to train their second damage skills. every other race has it. caldari has it too, but they don't need it like the other races.
Amarr has energy turrets, and a bit of drones Gallanta have hybrids/drones minmatar have to train everything to be effective, with the exception of energy/hybrids, some ships armor tank, some shield tank, they have droned, missiles, and turrets.
why don't the caldari people want to train hybrids? __________________________________
