CCP,

I see lots of speculation about what is being altered in the upcoming expansion but no actual information about what is actually going to happen. There was a vague devblog sometime last month that hinted at some changes, can we just get a sentence or two on what is going to happen. i.e. "We're going to look at T1 cruisers only" etc.

I admit I wouldn't mind some clarification on what, if any, ships will be balanced in either Escalation or Inferno.

Traditionally the average player opens a second client on SiSi and compares notes.

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

They usually also put out specific dev blogs... ;-)

A dev blog would be great, but even a sentence or two would suffice.

I'd also be interested in some devblogs highlighting what the V3 textures for Minmatar and Amarr ships will look like.

I'd wait until after april 24th. The balancing I believe will be in inferno, which is still a ways away.

From the CCP comments Ive been gathering frigates and some tech 1 cruisers as well as tech 3 commands getting a reroll to counter the FC superior fleet boosting abilities.

Oh and of course the Titan.

Also you can say good bye to empire mining cruisers and frigates. They're going full logi.

Looking forward to any changes. Hope they also add some more new ships.

Would be nice to know, but I guess we'll have to wait for a dev blog on that topic.

Though when I heard that CCP will be rebalancing ships, the image that immediately leaped to my mind was this:
