We're gona end up with a Naga that won't be used, that'll be a nice amount of man hours wasted! Clearly the answer is to give the Naga a bigger damage bonus then, maybe to 10%/level. Maybe it'll be used if it can do 840 DPS at 100 km? 
at that rate why don't we just increase railgun damage across the board by 50%?  |

I would like to point out that while the Naga is still being debated by the players, and rightfully so given the last look we had, the advertisements for Crucible CCP has put out still lists the Naga as Hybrid AND Torp.
CCP, Please read this one carefully.
Are you messing with those of us still paying attention, or are you about to make everyone looking at the advertising very very upset?
I hope, I really really do hope, the naga will still have torps and you don't have false advertising up. |

Better do something about the very first line too then. 
"Last but certainly not least in the line of ships en route to TQ in the upcoming Winter Expansion, is the Caldari Naga ... as the Caldari Naga can deliver a deadly bite up close, or spit death from afar."
I suggest "Last, and for the damn good reason that it's hopeless at everything, in the line of ships en route to TQ, in the upcoming Winter Expansion, is the Caldari Naga ... as the Caldari Naga can deliver a slow, easily avoided nibble up close, or spit saliva from afar". |

Actually CCP Tallest posted to us his own feelings and notes about our feedback clearly expressing the so needed changes for hybrids and ships using those, Gallente AND Caldari, will not be on this release and I must say /bow.
Finally they're starting to understand the "situational" use of those and the very important fact that ships using hybrids are severely lacking of optimised changes and has he said "...ship by ship".
So, lets keep testing on SISI, let's try all fitting combinations, let's try to use those on random fleets or random gangs, different situations and keep the feedback.
CCP Tallest is about to take care of this business seriously after the release and not give it up until it's satisfying, on this single point I STFU and keep doing my role on SISI watch the changes and debate has much has possible with every interested player in this very thread or test server feedback -hybrids thread.
So the word of the day will be: patience

Caldari players are not accustomed to little inconveniences like "maneuvering their ships" or "training anything besides missiles and shields." Just give it cruise missiles so all they have to do is hit F1 to win. Everyone knows that there is a real lack of players utilizing Caldari battlecruisers in Eve, perhaps if you overpower the Naga just enough you can offset the other injustices visited upon these good people.  And turret user train what? primary weapon/tank for their personal fleets, besides outside of pve you have to move to keep people inside the sweet spot.
You're so right, turret usesrs never have to cross train missiles in order to fill their highslots with weapons, that sort of thing is unheard of. In fact, this whole Typhoon thing is just a myth made up by the Minmatar propaganda machine. DONT BELIEVE THE LIES.
Bottom line, Eve needs more Drakes, I think everyone can agree on that. |

The only good torpedo, is one that transforms into a cruise missile right? If they changed the scope of the Guided Missile Precision skill, it might help. At least with this post, I can stop getting notifications... lol |

They should have given it a double bonus for torps, then it would at least have a role. Fully selectable damage type means it would be one of the best raw dps ships vs pos's. It would also be good vs battleships. Sure, it would still suck against everything else, but that's fine it would have more of a role than it does now.
Seriously though people, eve balances between ship classes, not between races. If you want missioning ships, ewar, drake and tengu, you train caldari. If you want triage fleet dps ships and snipers you train amarr. If you want kite and gank ships you go minmatar. Gallente are an odd bag, they have the Arazu, Mega, Moros, Thany, some cool drone ships.
There are all sorts of ships that suck in eve. What you don't see is much of any attempt at trying to achieve 1v1 race parody. *That's a good thing*. Know why your training specific races, don't feel like you need to "finish" a race, go after specifically what you want.

I like this. I think what needs to be discussed are the roles these ships are intended to fill. It seems like these ships are not unlike stealth bombers in that they aren't supposed to be all that great against smaller ships (the Tier 1 and 2's do that pretty well already). Rather these ships are a cheap way for people to band together and take down larger (and much more expensive) prey. Which to me explains the emphasis on torpedoes rather than cruise missiles. And it also might explains why they might not be all that great at killing one another. Just my opinion and I'm sure I'm over simplifying it, but does that make some sense? |

Well... right now they are actually very good at killing each other. Remember, the counter for battlecruisers is battleships. These having not only the high dps and range of a bs, but also the speed of a bc means that they pretty much tear each other up. A torp version would certainly not be, but i'd rather have a torp version because at least then the talos could fulfill a pos bashing role, instead of no role at all which is the current situation.

I rather have no role than a completyl useless ship with a lame role, what role is pos bashing anyway??? Dreads are for that. Also if there is enemy pos there should be enemies nearby --> possible battle , if a ship cant do its part in battle it doesnt matter how good it is at pos bashing as it would just lame itself there while enemies would take them apart from range.
Btw why do you think a low tank ultra close range ship is good vs pos? If that pos has some guns(as it should) your precious tier3 torp ships would die in every 20 sec or so. I rly cant see how they would perform this anti pos thing, pls tell us. |

If you thought dreads were for pos bashing, where were you in the last 2 years where the modus operandi was to send a hundred or two grunts in bs' because it was cheaper and less risky?
Extrapolate that with even more players with the necessary skills, more mobility/easier bridging (lower mass)=more use of large turrets versus structures. |

You should be able to have a missioning ship from all four factions, and valid PvP ships in all factions, with flexibility in what the latter are (I'm aware Caldari have Drake and ECMs, but that's it. Caldari use missiles AND hybrids; there is, at this moment, only one truly successful Caldari hybrid ship, that being the Naga, with blasters). What you essentially said is that you support further seperation of the factions into different sections of EVE's gameplay, which I feel is a ******* stupid idea. Let's say you have an Amarr character who wants to have an efficient missioning ship. Using your reasoning, they have absolutely no choice but to crosstrain Caldari. This would be a massive waste of their time, especially if they didn't know beforehand that Caldari was the "PvE faction". They'd need to spend several months working on skills not at all relevant to their original... Anything, and this fact might even drive off potential players.
Likewise, a Caldari pilot who wants to partake in PvP can either have the most boring ship around, generally relegated to the scrubs who have yet to crosstrain (Drake) or be forced to crosstrain Minmatar to be in any way decent in any other way. This is ridiculous. EVE is a 'sandbox with landmines'. This forcing people to crosstrain if they want to experience something else turns it almost more into most any other MMO, though instead of classes, you have factions, and these classes, instead of being built around different methods of dealing damage, are arguably built around different sections of gameplay. It doesn't make sense, and it shouldn't happen. I feel that this segregation is actually a slap in the face to the concept of the wide open sandbox.
I'm positive it's possible to balance in both dimensions of ship type and faction, and if this can be done I'm also positive that the game will be much better as with the re-introduction of factions currently not used in PvP, new tactics will arise. |

Dear Caldari pilots: quit bitching about having to train more than one weapon system. Quit whining about how you have no PvP ships. If you hate Drakes (which are, incidentally, one of the most used PvP ships in the game) then fly a Cerberus, Tengu, Falcon, Rook, Blackbird, Crow, Raptor, or Scorpion, all of which are useful PvP ships. If that's not good enough for you, then CROSSTRAIN LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS.
Why Caldari pilots think they should only have to train one race of hulls and one weapon system in order to be good at everything is beyond me. |

No, they dont want to go from the missiles to hybrids. You know full well that's not a profitable investment, and once you train out of caldari weapons your minutes from mini/amarr hulls too; It is just going to be sad when gallete players have more reason to fly a caldari ship, than most caldari.

Ok folks, time to weigh in.
After spending several hours on the Test Server with a Naga, as well as with my corp mates with the other new ships...we have come to the conclusion that the suck. No, really. We each got a whip that we fly...Me, the Naga, and with the Amarr and the Galente ship. We shot at each other. I got popped by me ceo with his Galente ship. I then got my Rattlesnake, and shot at both of them, and I popped him. We tried SEVERAL different fits. I have all my shield skills to 5, but i suck at gunnery, I am better at missiles and drones. See, we feel that after testing these, that they are NOT a good PvE ship, or even PvP as they are right now. You would need SEVERAL of these ships to take down a Battleship. So, PLEASE make these a bit better, just turn them into Battleships, and add more things....for the Naga, drones and missiles, and more slots and a better cap and shields. Otherwise, I don't see where these would fit in. I am not complaining, just stating there needs to be something done, in order for these ships to be of any use. |

Also, how are missile-focused Caldari pilots "minutes away" from being able to fly Amarr / Minmatar ships exactly? They only need to train a new weapon system and for Amarr a new set of tanking skills as well... |

Heh. I know, it was close by, and I put some heavy missiles on it. I guess my, and my friend's main question is, what exactly is the role of these ships? Are they PvE, PvP, Gank? etc. Just curious, and perhaps a DEV can answer... :)
