Sorry if this has been asked, but I found no answer. I was watching the fanfest interviews about ship changes and was left wondering if they are changing command ships other than the bonus they give.

I fly all factions command ships for level 4 missions, with the Nighthawk being my favorite. Will they lose the tank or dps with the changes or will they just gain bonus over the T3 cruisers, albeit a specialized bonus? I enjoy the command ships over battleships but if they are going to be nerfed for combat I would like to know so that I can train up all the marauder skills. After watching the interviews I really didn't know if he detailed this or not. Thanks for any insight you may be able to offer.

AFAIK only things that have been talked about are swapping the amount of command bonuses between Tech 3s and Command Ships around, and possibly buffing Eos to at least usable level. Currently T3s give better boosts than real, specialized CSs, which is seen stupid especially considering their SP requirements.

The topic of changing fleet boosts applicable only when on grid has also been brought up.

Would be interesting to see T3's keep their 5% boosts and CS's receive a bonus to another type of gang link as well. But yes, something needs to make CS worth the training time. I trained for them, then T3's (which take probably less than half the training to fly the ship), and considering every man and his wife has a T3... Crazy.

CCP has also said they are not happy with Combat Command Ships in comparison to Tier 2 BC's. They are looking to buff them as per the CSM Minutes.

Don't expect much. CCP said at Fanfest that they'll be adding new ships and balancing current ones over the next five years. That's a ridiculous amount of time.

They all need +1 slot (except the sleip) as well as the hp buff they never received (that t1 bcs did) like 6 years ago. Notice how tech 1 BCs have higher raw hp values than their t2 counterparts, seems rather broken....

Really? I must have missed that bit. Would be nice to have tbh.
