EVE General Discussion

Would prefer to have the T2 BCs get some attention and then adding T3 modules (to be used on all hulls) as a way to burn money and T3 manufacturing resources.

Extra bonus if the T3 modules provide bonuses like their T2 variants with an added extra effect (ex. webs with built-in TP effect for instance).

I like the idea or more tech 3 varients, but dosn't every ship have to have a role? Tech 3 cruisers make sense as it's a class that is very much about versitility already tech three command vessel maybe allowing differnt command modules that allow different warfare links and massive tanks to keep FC's alive?

Tech 3 frigates would probably explode to much or you would see a lot of covertop/interdiction nullifyer stealth frigs or the unhittable wake limier interceptors. Which to be hoest if thats the case you may as well release two fixed module tech 3 frigs.

BC's have a role as a vessel it's the stop gap between cruiser and battleship, the most logical choice would be the tech 3 battleship, however does the meta game need tech 4 battleships mission running? What would the purpose of a tech three battleship in a fleet be? With the SP loss no one would take it to a large fleet as it would be primary.

The problem with Tech increase is that older hulls become redundent except for new players who cant join in the tech three game for a long time and will feel they cant ever be as good as that vet in his 'pwnmobile' (not my opinion. but.) Also when do we hear the call for tech 3 super caps?

One of the problems of any game with multiple players be it MMO, roleplaying, wargames or LARP is power creep and percived power creep. I worry that Tech three power creep would lead to either lots of 'Nerf x OMG' or 'Such and such is weak OMG' posts, another rebalance followed by another round of 'OMG'.

I like the teir idea, I also like the idea that the tiers have different ships geared towards different roles. More of that please.

Edit: Oh and the last few pirate ships that you can't get yet two please.

We already have Tech 3 battlecruisers. They're called "Strategic Cruisers". They're small, fast, agile battlecruisers that can be reconfigured for many different roles and they make T1 and T2 battlecruisers obsolete. What we need are T3 frigates and T3 battleships.

They are actually cruisers, not battlecruisers,
although i see where you are going there.

If by best you mean the worst, then I agree. T3 at least was supposed to be about versatility and ability to do multiple tasks and roles using a single ship. Dreads on the other hand are extremely specialized ships, that are designed to do pretty much only one thing. Those two things just don't fit well together. I guess there could be a T3 capital ship, that can be made to fill carrier, dread and industry roles. What you seem to want is a T2 dread, that is basicly just better at doing what the dread already does.

based on what solid information you make this conclusion ?

they could be

however

they dont have to be.

either way they are not gonna implement anything "brand new" until they figure up some role for it to plug some "hole" in game.

T3 BCs =Strategic Cruisers=T3 Cruisers. Your mother language teacher is crying at the corner.

Balance and rework existing T3s. There are useless subsystems, or sub standard subsystem configurations (drone proteus to name one).

Tech 3 frigates before anything else. T3 BC would be over-powered, and T3 BS would be ridiculously over-priced.

Or rail tengu.
