Done it in LS a lot to kill both clones and NPC mining carriers…it’s cheap and very powerful in glass-cannon mode (over 1400DPS). I suspect not much can beat it in the ISK/DPS department save Cats or other exclusive ganking fits.
I’m not saying the Naga is a bad choice at all just that the OP might want to go a cheaper route to start as a beginner.
yeah but Praxix is not that cheap compared to Naga I mean even if I got 1 free im bound to lose it some time in null and last I checked naga is what 80-90mill praxis 120-130mill I even saw a few for 140mill last time I was in hek.
Praxis just doesn’t align very fast and 1400DPS is total overkill for belt ratting, especially if you have to be glass cannon fit to do it. You’ll be confined to one system unless you have a scout alt or a friend with you, unless you want to get caught on gate in your belt ratter. Battleship for belt ratting is overly risky for not much extra benefit.
If you’re moving and aligned (as you should be) it’s not a problem.
The 1400DPS is mostly for clones and mining haulers.
It’s only an option with free/cheap Praxis…not at ‘normal’ prices
200M nowadays. Mostly 'cuz of prices of other battleships and due to how much use praxis actually gets (it is nice hull… onc eyou get to L5 skills racial hulls tend to be better but praxis beats them all on slot layout)
Not cheap I agree but that’s a pretty cheap 1400DPS…
In a few days about 70k to 80k Praxis are about to be issues to players…trust me, the price will drop to the 70M-75M range…nothing to do with other ships or ore availability…
I recommend using a stratios. It served me very well for lowsec belt ratting. I was able to kill all the mordus ships too. Having the ability to warp off when someone comes in local with a covops cloak is invaluable.
If you are targeted by rat, you can’t cloak. So there is no reason of cloak.
You may as well warp away to safe spot in BS and warp between safespots even if they try to scan you down ^^
More valuable is MJD which allows you to disengage rats even if ur pointed
Well cloaking in warp allowed me to not be spotted on dscan by people coming into the system hunting. They went from trying to hunt me 5 times a night, to once a night for a few minutes, and then not even bother after a couple weeks. If you never see your prey eventually you stop trying to hunt them.
It also let me warp around and find my next clone spawn for when they did leave.
A Naga is certainly capable of clone tag farming. I just prefer the covops way of doing it.
