Not me.

But, please don't fill this group with Strategic Cruiser apologists. You will accomplish nothing. I was not encouraged by your tactical destroyer rebalance. Certain ships in this game are still too powerful both within class and across class. I wont bother listing them because I believe you know very well which they are. So, here is hoping you have the courage to break out the Sledge Hammer or Battle Axe.

Tech III cruisers currently step all over tech I BCs and BSs. No reason to fleet those ships exists. The game is all tech III or pirate ship or go home. Hell, the old days of sniper BSs was better than anytime that has followed. At least with sniper BSs they weren't a monoculture. Now it is all Machs and Gilas and tech III cruisers and still svipuls etc. There was a brief flowering of mixed tech I cruiser or BC but that fell away quickly. Lastly, the damn Tech III cruiser subsystems still obsolete recons and command ships.

Why not address the ease of shifting the tech III cruiser transformability. That is what they should be anyway, right? One hull that you can tweak on the fly or without a huge fuss to accomplish different roles but not take over the niche of the tech II ships in those roles. Presently they do take over the niches despite your previous attempts, like with command subsystems.

I know your job is very hard. But please don't lose this opportunity to diversify the game. A focus group of tech III fanbois will accomplish nothing for the health of the game.

edit: oh yeah forgot to mention, AHACs are not even HACs anymore, says a lot.

Hi,
I would like to join the group to provide input on T3 Cruisers, as I gathered some experience over the years of using them. I have used them a lot for PVE, which would be my main focus, but also general PVP, including solo/small gang nano warfare or Black Ops hunting, and last but not least, exploration. My experience comes from k-space only, null sec at most, but also some of the low and high sec.

As of the rebalance, I would like to be a counterpart to most of the group that will be PVP-oriented, and give an opinion about PVE aspects and possibilities of the T3 Cruisers - not exclusively though, as I am able to speak about both.

Thank you.

Hi there

I would line to be part of the focus group as well

I use T3 cruisers pretty often, mostly in pve. I have good knowledge of balance in the game and can help out with the good and bad things.

My uses were:
Running c3 and c4 wormhole sites in a legion
Running c5 sites in a tengu
Missioning
Hi sec exploration
Nullsec escalation runs and much more

I actually never pvped with t3, but still from watching videos of people that pvp in t3 ships, I know some of the issues there. Examples are the cap stable dual battery blaster tengus that tank any gang without really having to worry about cap.
But there are other issues as well in general, like fitting issues on ham tengu or the strong dependence of the pg subsystems. Also there are subsystems that dont make sense at all, like the dual weapon one on the loki.

I would like to be part in that group as the way I use them is strongly dependent of the future changes, also you have a player with over 8 years of gaming experience. Im available on slack mostly at weekends and evenings

Hi,

I would like to submit my name for the focus group. I've played since 2004 - experience with a wide range of ship types, but the Tengu and other T3's have always been a favorite. My experience in these are almost all PVP ranging from the hunter tengu to the great Slippery Pete.

Looking forward to the concept of changes to the whole T3 world - there's so much potential that these ships offer it's a very large project to try to revamp them. My hope is that changes will provide a new challenge in Eve, while still offering a wide range of viability to players.

I am very comfortable with fitting and extensive use of pyfa to build terrible fits that get blown up in beautiful explosions (Imperium Anger Games)

Thanks for consideration for the group - I'll happily send slack details if picked.

I vouch for frsd, he's one of the smartest people I know. He has a lot of knowledge about why ships/doctrines work they way they do, and he is at the top of the TRI and Vanguard theory-crafting team.

He knows how to maximize efficiency within a ships parameters and will have the highest chance to find aspects that are potentially under- or overpowered.

Hi I'm Tyler, acting CEO of Snuff Box and I'd like to be part of this, I've been successfully designing and using t3 cruiser fits for many years and i know alot about their strengths and weaknesess. We are using T3 Cruisers on a daily basis, they allow us to project through wormholes because of their small mass and offensive and defensive capabilities. i see why t3Cs are too strong but i think we need to focus on faction BS too

I would like to join the group.

I have used T3Cs for null sec pvp (and I've had them used against me/the fleet I was in), pve (mostly DED sites) and (something that hasn't been mentioned here a lot) exploration (and some explorer hunting).

Independent on whether or not I make it on the group: T3Cs are incredibly versatile ships and currenlty cover what could just as well be half a dozen ships (at least). This means that a large amount of more niche roles have developed for them, other than the "mainstream" ones. This is something I'd like to see preserved after the rebalance and I hope that these roles are represented in the focus group.

Throwing my name in the hat here,

I have been hunting extensively for the past 3 years using all types of T3C's. I have noticed niche role that Tengus and including some Proteuses have in catching carriers ever since the citadel patch due to the extremely high-DPS output from the carriers. In the past few months, I have caught heaps of carriers, rorquals, and other ships used for PVE and managed to survive for the most part.

My main expertise in using T3Cs would be hunting and scanning for quick ganks. I would like to be a part of the focus group.

I have no experience with T3s whatsoever but am willing to learn. I wish to train into one someday and so think my input would be crucial in offering this view point. The closest I have come to flying one before is when my corpmate helped me do an 8/10 complex which is harder than a 10/10 with a proteus and I was in a vexor navy issue.

This is why I would be a perfect candidate for these focus groups which attempt to incorporate all walks of life, Including those completely irrelevant.

Good morning,

Training into a Tengu was one of earliest tasks suggested for me in Eve Online. Since that time, I've trained into several T3Cs with various alts for PVE and PVP activities. Over the past few years, my primary activities with T3Cs has been in large fleet combat while currently working into more fleet support roles with them.

In the past, I used T3Cs mostly for PVE. When I arrived in nullsec, my corp used them almost exclusively for ratting. When I lived in high sec, I also used them for mission running and was involved in some early anti-ganking with an ECM fit Tengu. T3Cs are amazing ships and just want to make sure that even with a rebalance, they continue to be useful across different playstyles.

I have Slack and can have it on to be available as need. Thanks for your time and consideration.
