Whoa, an actual explanation that makes perfect sense. Dude, if you'd mentioned this after the change there would (or should) have been much less heartbreak out there.
Thanks for a highly explanative post that clears things up nicely. So is it safe to assume, based on the tone of things, that hybrids are going to receive further lovin' across other ships as well?
I started training guns up to give the Naga it's due... this would be good news to know the training will definitely project across more than just the Naga.

There are 8 gun slot BS in eve, so 8 gun BC makes sense.
There is only 1 ship in all of eve that can fit 8 torps and that worth a few 100b.
So a BC with 8 torps does NOT make sense.
Think before you speak morons.
P.S. - We all know you would ***** if the naga was forced to uses 6 torps.
No need to be such an ass. eAnonymity FTW I guess.
The main complaint is that many dedicated Caldari pilots went nearly solely into missiles, so for many the Naga is currently out of reach without a couple months training (for T2). I'd have loved a torp boat personally. Initially the hybridization of the Naga made me sad and right it off... however hybrids are currently being trained now so I'll be getting one of these puppies with T1 guns initially to get a feel for it... maybe see how it does against a few customs offices or the like. I like the potential role they can play in a POS bash, especially in a C1. I don't know if the tank would survive the guns, however for taking it to reinforced once the guns are incapped... it holds promise.
Basically, due to the prior Caldari paradigm, this change put the Naga as a "future" ship for many as opposed to the others, which were instantly "current" ships. That's all. People aren't looking forwards to training up the guns, but in time, they will.

Pff. That just made them poorly dedicatedGǪ 
Perhaps, but I'm a good example... my combat pilot did exactly this. All I've heard of training into is the drake, the drake or optionally the drake. Hence, missile dedication.
Now it like... gunz? Gunz. Guhns? Guuuuuunnnnnnzzzzzzssss....

I'm a pure Minmatar pilot and I have focused primarily on Projectile weapons, but if I want to fly a Typhoon well I'm going to have to learn to use missiles and drones well. Amarrians have their few missile based ships as well like the Malediction, the Sacrilege, and certain versions of the Legion. The Gallente are very drone and armor heavy, but then you have the Hyperion which is a big shield tanked blaster boat, so just be happy they didn't force the Naga to work best with armor on top of everything.
No, I learned that if I want to fly the Naga I need to train hybrids, which I hadn't focused on before due to training drake/tengu.
So I am.
