So the Apocrypha expansion brought some nice new content, T3 Strategic Cruisers, that was over 3 years ago now.
IMO that was a real expansion, it introduced some real content as well with WH's. Since then we have had usual Expansions
including the Incarna debacle.

Now we have Retribution, which in my eyes does not really seem to offer much, usual tweaks, fixes and nerfs, crime watch, revised bounty system and some new mining frigates.

So, are there any plans for T3 battleships in the future CCP?, or any other Tech 3 advancement plans? I love my Proteus, such a versatile PVP boat, and I am keen to see more tech 3 ships introduced!

Does anybody know of any such plans? I would be interested to know what others would like/expect to see in any future T3 hulls.

There should be a T3 version of everything.

Yeah, I'd much rather see T3 frigates first. However any more T3s are unlikely, as they have proven to be a royal pain in the ass to balance, and they tend to completely replace specialized ships in specific roles - something CCP never intended to be possible.

Personally not a fan of the T3 frigate idea, I'd much rather have t3 battleships. but each to their own. I do remember CCP mentioning something a while ago about T3 Frigates however.

I would much rather see the T3-type modular technology be thrown at the industrial/POS side of things next. Since faction battleships can solo L4s with frightening ease, a T3 battleship would almost need to end low/null only as they bridge the gap between Cap and sub-cap ships.

It would be cool, but for what purpose?

I just feel that out of all of the recent expansions Apocrypha was one of the best, it brought real content, but it has just been forgotten. There is no real direction for EVE atm. I see Team Avatar prototyping "avatar only" exploration sites, this will probably be released half finished and then forgotten, as with Incarna and TBH i have no interest in it.

They just seem to have fingers in so many pies and never seem to follow though with anything.

Need Tech3 BS because Tech2 one ..is for a specific role would be nice to have a choice here tech2 black ops or tech3 combat/fight

CCP it's time to remove Off Grid Boost and Put Them on Killmail too, add Logi on killmails .... Open that damn door !!

I'd rather see some balancing done across the board with existing hulls before we see any new hulls introduced.

If they did a T3 BS then it should be just one ship with multiple subsystems, instead of each race gets a ship with its own subsystems.

Personally I would rather see T3 guns and other mods over a new ship line.

I agree, that just highlights how CCP have all of these great ideas, spread development resources too thin, and do not really finish anything.

T3 cruisers are cool but look at this form other perspective, more t3 ships mean big ship unification, if we got like t3 frigates or battlecruisers- battleships people stop using and manufacture old t1-t2 ships.

This is pure fact after CCP add t3 cruisers averege ship usage like battleships and marauders on missions drastically drop, i remember time when ravens were everywhere and now i see horde of tengus.

Same happens In pvp area, more t3, less recons, command ships on battlefield...

In my opinion (all in one) suck.

EvE isn't game, its style of living.

For actual EVE expansions you'll have to wait a year or more until CCP recover from Dust development. Which actually is EVE expansion.

I think CCP has said that T3 cruisers will be the only T3 ships that they will ever have in the game. There are no plans to add any new T3 ships of other class sizes.

Why do I have this sig? I don't smoke.

We will never see any other T3 Ships in EVE which is quite pathetic...

That's incorrect. At the moment there are no plans to release any new T3 ships, but CCP isn't just going to throw the whole T3 line out the door.

What would be even better, is modular tech one cruisers that have subsystems, nice and cheap and cheerful strategic tech one cruisers. Subsystems for active tank or buffer tank; for optimal range or damage; drone bandwidth or small ewar bonus etc. etc.

No, there shouldn't. Just because it sounds cool its not good for the game. It is already hard finding roles for ships without obsoleting existing ship classes. No need to make it worse.
