I have heard it mentioned as an idea for many months now but never stated as a feature coming out. I for one would really like to see it happen. I believe CCP can learn from the leasons of T3 cruisers and make the roll out even better this time. Can we get any word on this please?

PS
We are still waiting for covert cynos on Covert T3 cruisers

Title is misleading...

We talking Tech 3 or Tier 3...never can be really sure anymore.

I am all for new ships and designs...especially of the Tech 3 kind because they are more customizable in designs making them a little more unique to each person. Sorta...

Unfortunately, introducing new ships for the sake of new ships is a bad idea. They need to have a purpose and a reason for existing first. After that I am all for it.

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

The problem with new Tech 3 ships is you need a really good plan for their capabilities. Just taking T3 Cruisers and doing the same thing but in a smaller hull is kind of pointless.

What is going to be the role of these modular... destroyers?

From where I sit, Cruisers work because they are already a very generalist ship class, Combat ships, Recon Ships, Logistics, etc. Cruiser hulls were already used for a wide variety of purposes. The gold standard of general purpose.

Destroyers are an anti-frigate platform and for interdiction... That is not a lot to work with for a modular design.

And on the PVE side... what Destroyer can be expected to stand up to Sleepers? It really doesn't have the requisite PVE niche.

Good questions. I have seen quite a few ideas in the CSM and features areas that could be incorporated.

The tengu/loki/proteus all need nerfs, tbh the Legion is what tech 3's should be. Adaptable to an extent but against a ship fit for the same role it should be subpar.

Trolls gotta fly too hehe.

Interdictor along with stealth ships are my favorite ships TBH.

I am not sure I like the idea but a limited anti stealth destroyer is one idea for modular I could see working, Id like it to be a short range anti stealth bubble so it could still be countered though. Same size as current dictor bubble I think is a place for them but it should never make flying stealth obsolete. I believe we could take on the challenge as long as it is not grid wide. Maybe the same size as current bubbles could work though. I think it is important to remove local as an intel tool before any kind of counter or nerf to stealth comes in though.

Maybe even a mini command with one slot for a command module?

Id really like to see a T3 stealther dictor to be able to travel with Black Ops BS.

Just a few ideas. I am not claiming any as my own.

I have the skills ( Mains ) for all of them but mainly I have flown the Loki so can't say from personal experience but the trolls seem to talk about tengu a lot.
