You should travel back in time before Tech 2/3 and get everyone hooked on calling Tier 2/3,T2 T3. Then we wouldn't be having this conundrum.

TI-3 = Tech 1 - Tier 3
TII-2 = Tech 2 - Tier 2
TIII = Tech 3

Maybe a little… sans the moustache.

Also, I suppose R might work for those who are too lazy to write the extra characters… or why not L, since that's where the tiers come from: the skill level required.

I.e. L3 frigate = frigate that requires the skill av lvl III.

uhm ...

as one has to skill to level 1/2/3,
it seems that lvl would be the obvious choice.

Of course, that's a definite no go because it would be too easy and ... obvious.

No. Just no. I do not feel like delving into the many reasons this is not the obvious choice, but I am sure someone else will.

That actually sounds like a good contender against R.

So we're at

L for level

and

R for tier

... o-O I do look like HG wells shaven...

Just do "Ti3", which is visually more intuitive that "TR3"
That said, anyone who writes T3 to denote Tier3 shouldn't be writing and deserves to be flamed to ashes (as the internet demands) Big smile

t3 = Tier 3
T3 = Tech 3

Yes I understand the issue with tiers and the massive amount of work required to unfubar them entirely but thats not the point at the moment.

Current issue is that when somone says T3 the other readers usually think Tech 3 instead the of Tier 3 as the speaker may have intended.

I purpose we use the letter:

R

Which leaves T for tech.

Any thoughts?



My thoughts are...


Did you intentionally try to make your avatar look like Justin Bieber?



? If I did I would look alot younger and have blond hair and a skinnier nose?
My avatar probably has alot more in common with my real face than justin beaver.


So you're JB in real life?

Your autograph, I can has?

No just some employed student at a tech college using government earned (spent 8 years working for it) college money to pay the way.
