So, we had that HAC and CS revamp last patch. The changes for the HACs are quite allright imho, but what i don't understand is, why all Command Ships are now pretty much similar?

Why did you get rid od the Field and Fleet Command Ship roles? Actually, it really doesn't matter if you fly an Astarte or an Eos, Absolution or Damnation ect. It's just a difference in flavour: missiles or hybrids, drones or hybrids etc.

Please Devs, rethink that!

Either come back to the Field and Fleet Command ship roles, where only 1 CS can fit 3 links and the other is more solo/small gangs, or at least change bonuses / slot laylout. Like Astarte gets bonus on armor HP while EOS gets bonus on repair amount. As it is, it's just nonsense.

If only there was a place where the Devs explained why they made certain changes.

If only there were a few months of back-and-forth discussion on the issue, dev blogs, and live interviews on popular EVE Online gaming radio stations. Things would be so much better.

Because CCP is going the easy way, look at rebalanced ships, and marauders rebalance, no mather the race, all are almost the same, nothing special...

Yes, CCP. Your command ship changes are the cancer that's killing small gangs.*

I like how you treat this as serious change. What CCP have done is left the ships functioning as they did previously and actually made them work. The Eos is no longer a laughing stock, for example. If you want fleet/field variation, crosstrain - the damnation and absolution are still bloody good bricks, for example.

Other sources aside... details, reasoning, and feed back was kicked back and forth for months in the Features and Idea's section of the forum.
