Missile hardpoints removed.
New bonuses:
Battlecruiser Skill bonus per level: 5% bonus to Large Hybrid Turret damage 10% bonus to Large Hybrid Turret optimal range
Role Bonus: 95% reduction in the powergrid need of Large Hybrid Turrets 50% reduction in the CPU need of Large Hybrid Turrets 50% reduction in the capacitor need of Large Hybrid Turrets
Thankyou CCP. Now the major difference between the Naga and Talos is range vs tracking. |

It just became a hands down better ship than Talos.......

The prowess of a straight damage bonus can't be denied, but the hands down bit is arguable.
Prior to the change, with a Rail-fit, they had about equal damage-to-reach scaling while the Talos not only retained it's tracking bonus but also remained an odd 300m/s faster and 1s more agile, ontop of having a similar or slightly better buffer even under a shield tank. With the Naga's damage-to-reach tuned up it does what it's meant to do while the Talos retain a better performance at 25% lower ranges, or 25% less damage but 25% better tracking at equal ranges; with all the aforementioned perks.
As noted initially, the general application of a straight damage bonus should not be denied though.

I'm pretty sure that with decent skills and faction fusion/phased plasma a 1400mm Tornado is quite capable of blasting the the other three hulls into structure in one volley, something you aren't going to be able to replicate with rails. On SiSi a I fit one up with a 8k buffer with a nano and ACR full rack of 1400s and a pair of gyro's it was vollying a myrm 9000 a whack into his heaviest resist....I don't have Large Projectile spec yet (I will soon).
Talos to Naga....
A rail naga with a scripted TC will be able to use anti-matter clear out to lock with 425s a comparable Talos will have to kick down to Uranium, and at those ranges, tracking frankly doesn't matter so there is a 15-20% advantage just on faction ammo.
I haven't tinkered around with Talos and spike/javelin, so I just don't know the numbers.
Talos is only better ship for ship if they are using blasters and in point range where the tracking may make up for the disadvantage its going to have by suffering more falloff past 10km. |

Lol if this is true.
I haven't looked into the ships in detail (read: flied them on Sisi) but it's pretty disappointing to see that yet again it seems Minny have the best of the bunch.
Bonused 8 x 1400mm arty alpha on a highly manouvreable hull? A gang of just 2/3 of these is going to be ridiculously lethal and cost effective, particularly with much better lock times than BS hulls and higher agility to GTFO. Let the instapopping commence.

Yup their only weakness is going to be Combat Ceptors and ships that can hit back.
Try that crap on a up armor BS, they are going to clean your clock, sure you'll likely get away but if the ship can tank the alpha, you best be somewhere else because the next shot. |

well... now that I think about it I can also fly the tornado.
which means that while I still have a reason to use large hybrids (no, the talos wasn't a good enough reason), the tornado is still better.

Because diversity in a game is to have a lot of ships available but most players flying minmatar.

One one hand, at least we're not splitting weapon bonuses anymore.
On the other hand, I would have preferred it to be a torp boat for pure capkiller potential.
On the secret third hand, I think this means I'll never see another Ferox in space... |

Ferox isnt used anyway, new bc wont change a thing with that. |

Caldari is a missile race, at least give them hardpoints back, if not any bonus's. |

Hardpoints without bonuses would be behond pointless.
And who said a race was specialized in only one weapon type? By your logic, since gallentes are the drones specialists, then hybrids wouldn't belong to anyone.

Whoa ... the new ships aren't naked any more??
Request: Post several pics of each of the new ships at different angles so we can see them in all their textured glory.
My SSD doesn't have enough room for the Singularity client, otherwise I'd take a look myself. |

5% bonus to Large Projectile Turret damage 10% bonus to Large Projectile Turret falloff
^It must be fixed thus for the Naga to not suck. |

Caldari does not specialize in missiles. Caldari are equally hybrid and missiles. Just count the number of missile ships vs hybrid ships they have. So far HALF of the Caldari ships have been semi useless because of how bad hybrids have been combined with the useless range bonus Caldari hybrid ships usually get D:

Additionally, many of the missile ships can tote some rails along if they want (hey, it works for the guristas... oh... wait...). So, while there is a strong leaning towards missiles they are by no means the end-all-be-all of caldari weapons systems.
Now, BLASTERS can GTFO- that's where the split should be, really. If a caldari ship is getting in someone's face it should be a one-way trip to deliver torpedo-based death (or, if it's a frigate, rocket-based death. Cruisers need not apply), not to fire off blasters. Even that is, to me, questionable (and I love me some torpedo explosions, but really "in your face" just isn't very Caldari- I'd prefer even the frigate level to be more firmly rails/lights than blasters/rockets). So, not terribly surprised to see the siege launchers go.
I *do* think the hardpoints should stay, both for fail-fit giggles (maybe you want a REALLY BIG platform for your AMLs) and to retain the possibility of cruise launchers (really, if there's *such* a worry about people running missions in cruise-nagas set a role bonus that basically breaks cruise missiles against anything smaller than another BC without penalizing them against BS+ (big hit to explo radius but a boost to velocity? or something that actually works with the missile-math).
Damage bonus to rails is an interesting thought, though it makes me wonder where this leaves the Rokh (since both ships have similarly rediculous range, is the BC *really* able to *out*-damage the BS, and if so has CCP indicated if that's where they want things or??? Don't have access to/time to crunch the actual numbers atm...)? |

xD Of course it will out DPS the Rokh. It has the same amount of turrets but with a damage bonus. It will just have 1/10 the tank a Rokh has D: Either way, considering how powerful the Tornado is, the Naga should get both weapon systems as well as a full bonus to both weapon systems. And the Talos and Oracle should get something too, for them to be on par with the Tornado. Ferox #1 |

We actually have enough missle boats, thank you. We don't need another, especially one with a split weapons system with no bonus to missiles. That's what the Rokh is for (and yes I'm aware it's a battleship).
We don't actually have any good hybrid turret battlecruisers yet (the Ferox is not a ship). |
