I have read several times that the boosts provided by the T3's and CS will be changed so that CS fill their specialist roles better than T3, however unlike the very well documented actual skill changes, I cannot find any posts from CCP to show these ship changes are coming with Odyssey.

I'm curious, so that I know whether or not I need to train cruiser 5s to get into T3s or settle with the BC 5s for CS.

Any clarification would be great. To be clear, I don't mean the prerequsite skills to sit in a Command Ship. I am aware of those.

I think command ships will get 1 extra category of warfare link each and the hull bonus goes up to 5%

tech 3s will get 3 categories but the bonus is 3%

I remember someone writing a post about it about a month ago but i just cant find it =S

its 2%....and it was actually an adjustment many players asked for. Set up right 5% t3's are jsut a little bit too much edge a common feeling brought up.

The 2% also should swing the favor back possibly to CS for fleet boosts. There has always been the gripe, and a valid one, it made no sense you could power grind into t3 5% boost heaven much faster than a CS (who actually boosted less).

Buts its not all bad imo. 3 link specialties a nice consolation prize. Legion looking to be a nice all around booster. Helps armour, helps speed/agility of said armour and information warfare has its uses. But I like balance and mixing and matching. I am sure the peeps who ran all 3 say skirmish link will not adopt this change readily.

Ah by 3% I meant the maximum boost my alt will be able to offer, rather than the T3 boost specifically.

I guess we'll all adapt to it.

ok so yeah my numbers are completely wrong but general Idea is the same.

Max boosts from CS: 15% for 2 types of link

Max boosts from t3: 10% for 3 types of link

I like these changes, but instead of being specific to 3 link Id prefer all seems like it singles 1 warfare out it dosnt seem there has to be a reason.

This is a Signature, It makes people Stare. (Man I gotta Make one , or Find one to steal)

In my opinion in a small gang those extra bonus aren't Worth the fitting requirement and the slot losses

remenber those % are applied directly to the module bonus, not as a direct bonus to your hull

( 2% at lvl 5 will push a bonus from 30% to 33% , and remenber stuff like resistances are always under staking penalties )

As before, bonusses are more about having the implant on best situational bonus over the ship boosting ( T3 was preferred because was hiding unscannable off grid )

( edit : talking about fielding a dedicated CS/Tech3 over a combat battlecruiser just for the bonus )

No not yet. They have not stated when the command ship changes are going to happen. However they do seem pretty happy with these proposed set of changes.
