CCP, we have had the modular cruisers for some time now, isn't it time the modular battleships made an appearance possibly retiring the T1 versions in the act?

What would a T3 BS look like? Maybe we could start an art contest for the T3 BS for release in the summer ...

I am aware of my own ignorance and have checked my emotional quotient - thanks for asking

Hopefully never - I can't see any way CCP could get the balance right for them (or t3 frigates).

Yeah, battleships with capital tank and/or damage. Good idea :/

EVE would be a better place without them. Even the T3 cruisers are extremely poorly balanced between the races.

And what exactly would you have T3 battleships do? Missions? Oh wait, marauder. Cloaky? Oh wait, black ops (which is still poorly balanced.) PVP? Oh wait, faction BSes. Mining!

The only way I see them adding to the t3 lineup is if they nerf the t3 cruisers first. Given how attached people have become to the current t3 capabilities CCP will need new servers for the forums to handle all the crying if they ever do go down that road.

TECH 3, not Tier 3.

And hopefully never. T3 Battleships are already in the game, and they are still worthless.. (read: dreadnaughts)

This.

And, FFS OP, we don't need more new ships. We need some of the ships we currenlty have that never get used to be buffed. Specifically to scrap the tier system. And we need ongoing balancing adjustments for the same reason.

Tech III frigates, BSs or BCs (I think I just threw up) are not needed and would only harm the game. So the answer to your question should be, never.

You could have made the exact same argument against T3 cruisers, but last I checked they were pretty popular to use and pretty popular to kill.

Eve is about tears, and without expensive targets the tears would be limited to killing tech 1 hulls all day long. So what if they implement a T3 battleship that can do everything a pirate battleship can do, only slightly better and with an additional role quirk?

Internet spaceship enthusiasts will want to fly it, it won't make that much of a difference when the thing gets primaried, and people will rejoice when they get the killmail for an expensive ship exploding. That's all the reason CCP needs to put something in the game.

Eve is a better place with gigantic loot pinatas everywhere, not with a bunch of pussies flying around in rifters.

Not until they add T3 forum posters, gold rounds, make them pay to own, pay to not lose SP, and fix tank spotting mechanics

You guys are ********... You expect a t3 bs to become all powerfull and better than anything els... when in fact such a ship should only be as good as other ship classes but with the ability to change bonuses... change what its purpose is
There is on reason to think it should get capital tank or dps

The last thing Eve needs right now is more ships. Even the Tier 3 BCs where a bad idea. There are dozens of ships and multiple ship classes that really need balancing. Adding in more only adds too the mess and doesn't solve anything.

I'd like to see Tech 3 industrials.
