T3 exhumers. with drop down drilling platforms like the Startrek movie that collapse whole planets and blot out the sun. With OMG tank of course available too for those slow days or maybe a nullifier/cloak for that exciting adventure or two.

Frankly, I'd prefer to see T3 Destroyers.

They could easily deal with having a lot of the same capabilities as T3 cruisers in a more nimble platform without being overpowered.

For unique abilities the option to fit it as a "Heavy Bomber" would be a good place to start. Smile
Heavy Bomber configuration would be something along the lines of.

AF type tank.
Reduced Sig Radius.
Hard to kill when using AB.
Multiple bomb capability.
No cloak.

Tbh, there's no room for more T3 ships currently, and I'm actually somewhat of the opinion that the current T3 were a mistake anyway (adding a very good jack of all trades shipclass when the game is geared towards making people team up and work together with specialised ships in defined roles).

I'd much rather see CCP redo or remove the entire tier system to actually make a substantial amount of ships we already have worth flying again than to keep adding ships to the game.

introducing MORE new ships would be a disaster. are you insane? until the fix inter- and intraclass balance between the dozens of ships that exist now, it would be silly to add more unbalanced stuff in the mix.

for example, why not fix the current t3 cruisers first? as most people know, there's no reason to fly anything else except a HML Tengu, and a Loki on occasion. why not make tier 1 BC's useful? AF's, EAF's, BO's? you get the idea.

besides, i think it only makes sense that small ships are modular. frigates, cruisers, etc.

The Idea behind t3 is that its a jack of all trades for Cruisers

The Battlecruiser is already a Jack of all Trades

We don't need any more T3 ships. The ones we have now are so good that for a lot of players there is little reason to fly anything else. When players are blitzing skills to get into one after being in-game for only a couple months, you might just have something powerful enough to be called "overpowered".

I say this because I have 3 myself (got tired of switching subs/fittings, lol). Most of the time, my T3 is the BEST option available, and frankly, most players have so much cash that not even their high price is enough to justify using something else, because "something else" usually means "something worse".

Also, I approve of new players who can barely fly (let alone fit) their T3's. They make tasty snacks for mine.

I would rather have them rebalance most of the ships before making new.

Yup, do away with the ship tiers and make them all (per type) on par but with different specialisations, that way you increase the number of viable (and thus flown) ships, while not needing to introduce new models and all that. So it'sa easier and cheaper to do for CCP and we get more ships to play with.

T3 is severely OP and I would hope that CCP learned their lesson regarding introducing OP stuff. I mean, if you extrapolate from T3 cruisers then T3 BC would have around 1 mil EHP with some 1200 dps, if you can't see anything wrong with that you need help.

Excellence is not a skill, it's an attitude.

Definitely not supported. First of all I don't think they are needed since they most likely obsolete Battleships and T3 Cruisers at the same time. Secondly I think that if we ever do get T3 BCs they should come after T3 frigates, BSs, Industrials, and capitals.
