A very simple question -- will existing content such as missions, belt rats, anomalies / complexes and the like be upgraded to include the new T3 Battlecruisers in rat form?

Also, while we're on the subject -- will there be Faction versions of the T3 Battlecruisers? I'd love to see what the Guristas, for example, could do with the concept.

That's prob a no and a no.
If I were to guess I'd say CCP will have enough work with deploying 4 new BCs by 12/2011 with the tools they got.

Will be fun to watch the unavoidable nerf/buff/FOTM-lag this triggers (again) as CCP admittedly has no means of .. say adjusting the PG on the Tornado within 1 week of deployment without involving 30+ of staff..

My guess is that the BC will have a role bonus that lowers the grid/cpu requirements of the weapons (like the torp launchers on a bomber), and that they have an idea of how they want the ships to be able to fit. E.g. with close range weapons it will fit tightly with 1-2 meta 4 mods, and you will be required to have say a t2 reactor control in the lows to be able to fit long range weapons with any sort of tank.

Exactly how they want them to be fitted I don't know, but I'm sure they have an idea of what is supposed to fit on it with max fitting skills. After all crap people give CCP over everything, I bet they can atleast make this right after designing quite a few ships already, even if they might to tweak the numbers by the last +-1-2% over time, it's probably not any big changes.
