The T3 cruisers is really a testament that diverging from typical does not destroy the game. Adding to that, the fact that CCP is adding more T3 ships with yet different ways of shuffling bonuses and specialization, they must agree this is true. If not CCP, SOMEONE with influence must think so.

Actually T3 cruisers are a testament to how you can break the game with how OP some of the configs are. Hence why they are trying an entirely different way of making T3 work without being OP.

If they did indeed break the game, they would've changed drastically. I don't think that is the case. Some nibbling here and there perhaps, but the game is as fun as ever, no?

Sometimes the long term effects of introduced items aren't really considered during design, or they take a long time to emerge or that sometimes the effects are more subtle than you'd expect.

Further to that - T3's are pretty much the handmanual in creating ships that are out of touch with the meta-game.

My Flycatcher fleet would like to disagree with you there. If the Confessor isn't piloted correctly or caught off-guard, the evaporate in an instant. Confessors are indeed powerful, but the slightest pilot error and they are your paper thin, very expensive coffin.

My ridicule, heavy criticism and general pale outlook about your or CCP's ideas is nothing but an encouragement to prove me wrong. Give it a try.
