Would it benefit PVP in the warzone if the following was changed?

Novice Plexes: No change
Small Plexes: T3 Destroyers no longer allowed
Medium Plexes: Battlecruisers now allowed
Large Plexes: No change

It seems to me that in the small plex assault frigates, electronic attack ships and standard destroyers are all currently outclassed by the T3 dessies. I'd like to fly some of these other ships without having the T3 dessies be nerfed. I think that like the T3 cruiser isn't allowed in medium plexes, the T3 dessie should not be allowed in the smalls. I think this would promote using other ships in the smalls again and allow those that like the T3 dessie to brawl with cruisers in mediums.

I would also like to get some hurricanes, drakes and other fun battlecruisers out and about. I think these guys need a warp speed buff as well, but specifically in FW it would be cool to have them be an option in medium plexes. Just like you can have frigates, T2 frigates and dessies in smalls I think you should be able to fly cruisers, t2 cruisers and bc's in mediums. Might give you an option against HAC gangs and recons hanging out in medium plexes.

Just some food for thought. Sorry if it has been suggested before.

The biggest thing is to get T3Ds out of smalls. Not sure you wan't to do anything with BCs until after they undergo their balance pass.

Also, you may want to move this to features and ideas.

Crossing Zebras has an article up that mentions those very things. My personal favorites in the article is rebalancing the plexes to make more sense(t3 destroyers get moved to mediums) and neutrals get flagged as soon as they enter a plex.

Legitimate suggestion or thinly-veiled anti-T3 dessie rant triggered by a recent "unfair" loss? Can never tell with these...

T3 cruisers aren't allowed in medium plexes. Likewise, T3 destroyers shouldn't be allowed in small plexes.

Not the best article in the universe but not the worst. About what you would expect from someone who doesn't spend most of their time doing FW. It doesn't even acknowledge any issues with adding a 5th plex to the rotation at all, nor preferring ships cruiser sized and larger towards small ships, etc.

T3D excluded from small is all that needs to be done
BC in mediums makes no sense to me, how would this encourage pvp?
