EVE General Discussion

How about it, would this be a good thing or a bad thing ?
Extra skills required to use T3, of course.
Extra skills to manufacture T3, ditto.

I just think it would be a nice "rounding-up" for fitting T3 ships.

Killmails would be juicier too, yes ?

Discuss.

Lin-Young, yes on both counts.

Vicky Somers : Have you nothing sensible to contribute ?

Seems like a natural "next step" along with other T3 ship classes. Good idea for a new expansion down the road. Possibly coupled with general improvements of PVE content to make it less predictable and/or requiring PVP fits.

I am asking for T3 modules.
I write under correction, but for the most part, I think, or so I am told, that Meta-5 is the highest level of build by proficient Industrialists. Please do correct me if I am wrong.

I know there might by a few deadspace blueprints in the game, but I have no idea what Meta level these may be.

I guess to be more specific, I am asking about T3 modules for the T3 ships such as Proteus, Tengu etc.

you know to be honest i never understood what exactly is overpowered about T3 ships, i have flown T3 for a while and i found them quite underwhelming, not to mention extremely weak against Webbing, scramming and having quite low EHP.

aside from the 100mn Tengu, but even so, all you have to do is dual web it or neut it, and it is a pretty normal ship.





now back to the original topic, i aprove of T3 modules, but more than that, i would love to see Tech 3 Ammo, specially stuff like those sleeper missiles, the praedormitan missiles and alike or their crystals.

This will happen only if too many people have t2 and t3 already.

As the market looks like right now, the diversity between lower tech ship classes will increase,
so t3 modules won't happen for quite a while. One could expect these higher tech modules to happen
if the player base increases dramatically ...
... and then you'd need to add a few more years until enough people have enough SP to justify higher tech modules.

Simple example as explanation:

There are 20 ships and 100 players.
Sooner or later all these 100 players will be able to fly all 20 ships.
Conclusion: More ships are needed.

Same applies for modules.

Wtb interdiction nullifier module.

I'm a little confused. Per CCP statements, T3 is not meant to be better than other Ts. Its supposed to be more generalized.

So in a sense, we have a T3 module. its the new adaptive hardener. And it is worse than specialized hardeners in most cases.


So your T3 modules would be worse than what we have, so why bother.

T3 cruisers were meant to be flexible, able to do tasks that other cruisers do, but not as well as the specialized t2 ships. T3 were also to do things that other t2 ships could not.

However, t2 ships can out DPS the t2 cruisers meant for dps. they provide warefare boosting better than command ships which are T2 BC ships, a class of ships above the t3 cruisers.

In fact, properly fit T3 ships, in some examples, can tank and dps better than those same t2 battle cruiser command hsips at the same time.

T3 ships, in general, are overpowered because they are as good, or better than the specialized t2 cruisers.

Look at the ship balancing presentation from fan fest. T3 were meant to be flexible, where as t2 were specialized. But the t3 were meant to be of lower overall power than the t2 in those specialized roles.

I fly t2 cruisers, I fly t3, I fly command ships, and I do it in 3 racial types.

I am all for T3 modules and ships!
T3 is just misunderstood. T3 is not supposed to be overpowered T2, it is supposed to be more flexible.
I would think T3 modules would either have scripts or two modules mixed together.

An armor hardener that can be scripted to resist any of the four damage types, but have worse resistance than the T2 armor is the perfect example of what I think a scripted T3 module should be like. Worse than a T2 armor hardener but it got the advantage of changing on the go.
A T3 shield extender could have slightly less buffer than the T2 version, but some added resistance to make it a mix of a shield extender and an adaptive invulnerability field.
