EVE Naga Navy Issue is the missile-focused Caldari attack battlecruiser introduced in Fractured Skies on 10 November 2026. Unlike the regular Naga, which is known for using large hybrid turrets, the Navy Issue is built around cruise missiles and torpedoes. It also gains an extra mid slot, making it a genuinely different hull rather than a simple upgrade to the original.
If you’ve already trained for and fitted a standard Naga, you’ll need to adjust your plans. A rack of hybrid turrets from your old ship does not suddenly become a viable Navy Issue fit. You’ll need to plan for missile launchers, appropriate ammunition and the supporting skills, and you’ll need a blueprint copy from the Caldari Factional Warfare Loyalty Point store if you intend to build your own.
EVE Naga Navy Issue missile bonuses explained
The EVE Naga Navy Issue has bonuses associated with the Caldari Battlecruiser skill, including 10% kinetic cruise-missile and torpedo damage per skill level, compared with 5% damage per level for the other damage types. CCP also gives it a 10% cruise-missile and torpedo velocity bonus per level. The exact result depends on the skill level and equipment you fit.
The EVE Naga Navy Issue also gets 95% lower powergrid requirements and 50% lower CPU requirements for cruise-missile and torpedo launchers. Those fitting reductions make it practical to mount battleship-sized launchers on a battlecruiser. They do not increase damage on their own.
Higher Caldari Battlecruiser skill means a larger bonus to kinetic missile damage, as well as the smaller damage bonus to the other damage types. It does not follow that kinetic ammunition always deals the most useful applied damage in every encounter. Target resistances, flight time, missile application and the size and speed of your target still matter.
Can the EVE Naga Navy Issue use hybrid turrets?
Don’t build a new fit on the assumption that it can use the standard Naga’s railgun or blaster setup. CCP explicitly changed the Navy Issue’s role from large hybrids to cruise missiles and torpedoes. The Tech I Naga has not been converted into a missile ship; these changes belong to the Navy variant.
An old Naga fit isn’t directly transferable to the EVE Naga Navy Issue. Launchers need different support skills, ammunition choices and damage-application planning from turrets. Check the ship’s fitting screen in the client before buying a full rack of launchers, rather than relying on a screenshot of someone else’s fitting.
Where to get an EVE Naga Navy Issue blueprint
The EVE Naga Navy Issue blueprint copy is sold through the State Protectorate Factional Warfare LP store. The Fractured Skies expansion notes list new navy attack battlecruiser blueprint copies at 52,000 LP and 13,000,000 ISK each. That price buys the blueprint copy, not a manufactured, fitted and insured ship.
If you don’t have the necessary LP, you can look for a completed hull on the player market once other capsuleers have manufactured and listed one. Expect prices to depend on supply, production material costs and demand after the expansion. A blueprint that looks affordable in LP can still represent a much larger investment by the time you have a ship ready to undock.
How to fit the EVE Naga Navy Issue
Start with the role rather than chasing a theoretical damage number. Cruise missiles and torpedoes behave differently, particularly in flight range, target application and intended engagement distance. Choose which weapon system you want to use, then check the hull’s slots, powergrid and CPU in the current fitting window. The extra mid slot is valuable, but it does not remove those limitations.
Missile support skills are just as important as the launchers. Your ability to hit moving targets and apply damage efficiently will depend on the weapon skills, missile velocity and explosion characteristics as well as target size and speed. Training Caldari Battlecruiser alone is not a complete fitting plan.
For the EVE Naga Navy Issue, propulsion, shield defences, tackle and missile application all compete for the mid slots. A fleet fit may need a very different balance of tackle, propulsion and tank from a solo or PvE setup. Avoid treating any untested fit as a guaranteed high-DPS build just because the hull’s paper bonuses look strong.
Is the EVE Naga Navy Issue worth it over the regular Naga?
If you’ve invested in large hybrid turrets, the standard Naga still has a place. The Naga Navy Issue is the more interesting choice if you specifically want a Caldari missile attack battlecruiser and can support its ammunition, skills and costs. Neither option automatically wins every engagement, and changing weapon families is a larger commitment than swapping a couple of modules.
Fractured Skies also introduces faction Synchronizer rigs that become stronger when fitted with matching faction modules. Those can create additional fitting choices, but the rig CPU penalties and costs must be considered before planning a Navy Issue build around them.
What other new navy battlecruisers are available?
The Naga launched alongside the Oracle Navy Issue, Talos Navy Issue and Tornado Fleet Issue. Each is sold through its empire’s corresponding Factional Warfare LP store. If your character already has strong projectile, laser or hybrid skills rather than missile skills, one of those ships may be a more comfortable place to start experimenting with the update.
