If I recall correctly, the last Tech II ships were introduced in Trinity (EAS, HICs, Black Ops and Marauders) 6 years ago!!!

Since we have a lot of T1 hulls still available without T2 counterpart: Tier 2 and now also Tier 3 BCs, some combat frigates, Tier 2 destroyers, most capital ships (only Freighters have a T2 version, being the only ships that require T2 capital parts)... I was wondering if CCP have any plans on releasing new T2 ships.

I'm not sugesting anything, just asking if there are any plans. I would love a dev blog with a teaser about this...

Well, before introducing new tech2 ships we should ideally fix the existing hulls. By that we mainly mean Black Ops, Electronic Attack Ships, Command Ships, Heavy Assault Ships, but the list goes on.

Command Ships are on our direct focus for this year, while this won't add new ships by itself, this change will most likely put obsolete hulls back into the light. Want to use the Eos as an advanced Drone boat? Or the Damnation as a missile spammer? You can.

We do recognize we need more goals for our veterans however, so we do have plans for new tech2 hulls indeed. Exactly how and when is a bit too soon for us to say, but this is definitely being considered.

Hope that is a good tease Twisted

As long as you fix the Eris

while (CurrentSelectedTarget.Status == ShipStatus.Alive) {

     _myShip.FireAllGuns(CurrentSelectedTarget);

I would much prefer fixes / balances etc on existing ships than another bunch of new ships! Hell, there are so many damn ships anyway i never know what to fly!

If they had time, they could just throw out all the obsolete ships and introduce new ones with the rebalanced stats, and no one would be the wiser. Except shitstorm because someone just lost their fav ship model

while (CurrentSelectedTarget.Status == ShipStatus.Alive) {

     _myShip.FireAllGuns(CurrentSelectedTarget);

Right, fix the one dictor that almost works to make it like the 3 that are outright flying coffins. Genius plan there, braintrust.

Exactly. There are literally hundreds of ships we can fly; lack of variety isn't the issue here. Lack of variety of viable ships within the available list of existing hulls is.

I'm really looking forward to the T2 cruiser rebalance.

You're thinking of it backwards

Rather then "when are we getting more T2 ships..." think what holes are there in the current selection of ships that could be filled with a T2 variation"

also, fix what's out there first, then add more tbh

Teases are allways nice. Smile

But besides Fozzies post in F&I and the Link between Dust and Tranq it feels like not really much happend in this young year.
How about more F&I-Stickies? Blink Integrating the Players optinions into design processes would be a little dream coming true.
Perhaps just tossing us some bone like: "Hey we will set focus on this and that in this year." You did this. Thanks for that.

What are the other teams doing?
I totally respect hollyday times and the indisputible #1 priority to share time with their friends and family but some more hints on what could be coming up to us this year.

POS-Redoing?
Big roundtable about 0.0 (I don't live there and don't know what's broken, if there was something broken)?
Some resolutions like "I want to be more active on the forums." from some/more devs? Lol
Other player inspired ships?
Perhaps a weapon review coming up 2014?

Pretty please! Big smile

for eas:
give a role bonus like you did for Assault frigs (50% reduction in mwd sig radius)

how about for blops they can use a mjd while cloaked?

that and a cool down bonus for mjd?

as for hacs?
the two i would focus on are the deimos and eagle

for the eagle i would get rid of the second optimal range bonus and repalce with a second damage bonus or rate of fire bonus and then give it another turret high slot and increase pg

as for the deimos replace the mwd bonus with a tracking bonus give it a 4th mid slot and reduce mass.

i am excited for all the threads in the comming future that talk about these ships...
At the end of the game both the pawn and the Queen go in the same box.

... and T2 Shuttles.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

I think there were plans, but please let them balance existing Hulls first.

The Sabre isn't OP, the other dictors are complete ****.

Heh, I love that you put Black Ops first on your list there.
Although Interdictors do need to be looked at. You know there's a problem when everyone says there's only one out of four worth using.
