What about BS size ship or BC, and even maybe new mini carriers with capabilities of transforming on battlefield? (with cool animation not this crappy dreds siege anim)
It can be new kind of tech3 ships that can switch power of some modules to other, like:

Shields/armor res and HP for dps
Immobilization for shield/armor res and HP
Reduced dps for better tracking/range/scan res etc

Switching will take time of course and maybe cap, and You can turn off enemy switching by new e-war module.

Just quick idea, and yes i know it need a lot of tweaksRoll

Why?

What exactly are you shooting for with this, I think you have something in mind as a specific example.

Upgrading Local to Eliminate All AFK Influence What if Local Chat changed, Hunting the Cloaked...

Hmm because:
1. It's possible
2. It's awesome
3. Attract new players (omfg transforming spaceships...Blink)
4. Players and CCP want new tech3 ships (but tech3 cruisers are fail in it's assumption without rig subsys)
5. New possibilities on battlefields
6. Action from films: captain/FC screaming: "switch all power to shields!" or "engines full power" Lol

But to be serious i know first we need some tweaks with existing ships, and when it's done something like this colud be cool Cool

'because it's cool' is not a reason to implement changes.

Nope, don't like it
And i don't have in mind transforming ships like optimus prime with houndreds, tousands elements, but with few of them nicelly animate.

Not changes, it's new feature, and EVE will need something new if want to be forever ;) but why i even mention about this, it's logical, trolling with some words game wont work Roll

CCP thinks about new tech3 (far future) and they consider Battleships, but with the same way as cruiser in the end we will get ~10bil ships that are antigangable and ultimate for high sec - more carebears <-- this

If we have to go the Macross route, CCP should focus on Macross Missile Massacre first.

Every launcher in the game should fire 4x as many missiles as they currently do but half of them can be avoided by turning on your afterburners and doing a barrel roll while overly hyper J-Pop blares in the background.
