So we have 4 attack BC 2 hybrid : talos and naga 1 projectile: tornado 1 laser: oracle Well, where is missile attack BC ?
My bonuses: 5% reduction torpedo and cruisers explosion radius 5% increase torpedo and cruisers explosion velocity
p.s. Drone attack BC would be impressive too

Naga was originally designed as a Torpedo Boat and no one liked it. That's probably why there is no launcher ABC and considering the hatelove for the RLML/RHML and general dislike towards missiles for many reasons, I doubt that this changed in the meantime. |

Or, they could leave it as a ship people actually use. |

Well see... something like that would require CCP to give more than 0 fucks about the state of missiles. That's asking too much, so sit back and be happy with a meh Drake, or a slower than **** rolling up hill Raven while you train a more useful weapon. |

I think its because missiles are a different kind of animal all together.
For example, all the bombers use missiles (torpedoes/cruise missiles) and have no turrets. |

I don't think that is a fair comparison at all, but assuming it were I would even back an arty based SB. Take a SB, let it fit 1200s or 1400s, give it a tracking bonus instead of a missile bonus, and let it roll. Torp SBs decloak and roll missiles up your ass and an arty SB decloaks and shoots Quake right in your face. I would happily trade that for a good Tier 3 missile BC. At least then I would be able to use a decent missile (cruise) in some C4 sites without crashing a hole with a Raven.

Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective. |

Maybe a new type of Missile Boat that would only be able to deploy Missile Attack Drones. Something different and interesting to fit up and then use. |

Problem with this concept is torp speed vs target speed. Turrets put damage on instantly. ABC's live by kiting. Torps take forever to go anywhere, and would be completely ineffective.
Naga is actually fairly good as it is. IIRC needs a bit more PG, but certainly not torps. The Law is a point of View |

That seems like more of an ammunition problem than a hull problem to me, and part of a list of small problems that add up to missiles being unacceptably neglected. Besides, a missile Naga should be able to fit both cruise and torp launchers unless turrets are going to have monopoly on short and long range Tier 3s. |

Naga would be beautiful if they tweaked it to allow 8 missile slots, and didn't change the bonuses excepting usage of large missiles for the OPTION of fitting them. Cruise launchers with THAT level of mobility, even without bonuses, would be positively wonderful in a wide variety of situations. |

Don't think anyone is saying Missiles don't need some re-working :)

it is not that hard to understand why naga was turned into a railgun ship.
Battleship class Missle + 8 luncher slots + damage bonus means too much damage(10 effective lunchers). Even the Golem hasonly 8 effective lunchers, and that is probably the highest damage a missle ship could have. 25% more than that? it will be over powered.
you might say well okay lets give it 6 lunchers/ range + explosion speed bonus. Those doesn't work. 6 lunchers either means utility highes, or more mid/low. range +explosion bonus means similar damage compaired to other ABCs, but better damage projection.
you can see it is easier to keep missles out of ABC than try to find strange solutions for the problem. |

WTB Caldari Navy Naga that looks like this:
5% reduction in Cruise and Torpedo explosion radius per level 10% bounus to Heavy, Cruise and Torpedo missile velocity per level
Special bonus Fitting reduction bonus to RHML, CML and Torpedo launchers. 25% reduction in loading time of RHML, CML and Torpedo launchers (8.75 sec reduction for RHML and 2.5 seconds other launchers)
Slot layout: 8H 6M 4L
30% buff to HP (standard Navy buff) Slight mobility buff (standard navy buff) etc etc.
Would love to fly this!! |

So I'm admittedly curious as to why this bit is necessary? Missiles are designed to have longer reload times, like lazors insta reload/swap. It's a choice when using the weapons system/ship.

The original missile Naga was binned because it was terrible beyond belief. With torps, it could not survive an encounter with anything it could effectively apply damage to; with cruise, it was simply bad because cruise was so bad.
Today, the torp Naga problem remains - normal non-bomber torps are a heavy brawler weapon, to be used at close range against large targets, and an ABC by definition doesn't want to go brawling. Cruise is usable now (it only took a ~30% damage increase!) so a cruise ABC would be viable. But it's absurd to introduce it at the cost of the popular rail Naga, which is generally the highest-damage and best-tracking ABC in a vague 70-130 km window, depending on fit ofc. |

It is mainly to improve the sustained dps of RHML by reducing reload times to 26 seconds. It is probably an unnecessary bonus but I thought I would throw it in as an extra.
Still, a CML or RHML Navy Issue Naga would be superb. Essentially a highly mobile Navy Raven with small tank and no MJD |

Points for trying I guess....
As much as I'd like to see a ship just vomit missiles EVERYWHERE.... reload reduction isn't really balance-able, don't think.
The Rail naga isn't a bad platform though. The Law is a point of View |

Some Destroyer or Battlecruiser Series exclusiv for Missile based weapon System would be cool, just like the twisted Brother of Stealth Bomber or Attack BCs!
They could be based on Rapid Light and Rapid Heavy Missile Launcher with Bonus for Ammunition Capacity and missiles velocity. |
