This topic has probably been passed around more times than the bible but here we go.
Is the Naga more superior to the Rokh despite being a grade lower?
I've flown both now and to be honest the Rokh is proving more of a burden than a successor.
Here is what I've noticed while using my loadouts.
With the Naga's 95% reduction for large hybrid weapons I can easily equip x8 425mm Compressed Coil guns and have plenty of CPU and Power for a variety of upgrades to enhance my range (both weapon and lock on), tracking speed, movement speed damage and damage control.
Along with this the Naga Locks onto small targets in roughly 5 seconds allowing me to blast away while range is still my ally.
A perfect ship in my eyes is played correctly in any scenario. the lack of a drone bay is perhaps its ONLY let down.
While Playing with the Rokh I had trouble equipping all x8 425mm Compressed Coil guns along with the satisfactory add-ons to match the Naga and include the famous tanking abilities. (I ended up with x6 or x7 coil guns)
Along to its Negative points it takes a whooping 20-25 seconds to lock onto smaller ships and proves to slow for my conventional Naga tactics for staying at range effectively.
I'm often finding myself sitting there tanking while my drones pick off the smaller ships because the Rokh is to slow to lock and move.
I have tried the blaster variant which has proved better than compressed coil guns, but still struggles against the faster ships. and I do fear will struggle with its slow speed at perusing larger vessels.
I feel like i'm flying an obese punching bag rather than a ship
Does anyone have any tips on how to bring out better use in my Rokh or does anyone agree with my facts?
It could be that i'm a crap player or I could be right, let us know =)
P.s, Rant Over, Thanks for reading

Oh. You're one of those. Yeah, the Naga isn't a "grade lower" than a Rokh. It's just a different class of ship. You don't "level up" from a Moa to a Naga to a Rokh. That's not how Eve works..
I guess my terminology was way off here.
I do not consider the Naga to be like a stepping stone within the game to get larger ships.
I meant it as the Naga is somewhat like a Pocket Battleship of WW2
Its a class lower or a whatever floats your boat -.-
I was trying to ask that the Rokh seems to be less effective than the Naga in its Offensive capabilities.
Despite the fact they should "technically" be the same.
I know the Rokh is better at "tanking" and I couldn't care less about that, I know that already.
I simply wanted to compare there Offensive capabilities against each other.
As I tried to explain in the OP I struggled to fit all 8 railguns onto the Rokh, where as the smaller Naga could easily fit all 8 without a power manager. and (all defence aside) the Naga seems to fair better than the Rokh when they should be the same in theory.
Make sense?

I dunno, i even placed them on first and it only allowed x7 to be online.
I've had to use a power manager, something the naga didnt need o.O
Thats whats confusing me. |
