Lets put it the other way. If they can't enter Small plexes what then? As far as I understand it then they will be optimal for smallgang sniping / nanoing and will be really great against other small ships. All due to the nature of being destroyers. They will lack the EHP to take gateguns and they would probably struggle against medium rails / sentries that seem to dominate among large fleets. So if they can't enter small plexes it may be hard to find decent fights with them. Atleast in lowsec.

If people are worried about being kited by a destroyer in a small plex they just have to camp the landing beacon. Destroyers will have a harder time burning out of scram range than nano frigs like slicers and garmurs.

But I may be biased as I am hoping for a Supercharged Coercer of Doom Twisted.

Supercharged Coercer of Doom would be OP even in Large Plexes Twisted

I think they will be allowed. What would be the point of them if they were forced to occupy only medium plexes where cruisers could have their day on'em?

I'm more afraid about them being too good but I guess we will all train for them like crazy, and maybe they will be an easy way to make a newbie feel great - t3 ship around a month of training including t2 weapons? Could be interesting if they don't have a lot of prerequisites (probably will have :P).

edit:

just realized my post went into a circle just to end where it started - nowhere. I think this is what I feel about the t3 destroyer predominantly - I have no idea what they are and why they are about to be implemented. Never felt shiplessness right there in the t3 destroyer department... Gonna see I guess

Sounds like the Garmur/Wurm of small plex fighting. It will definitely be a set back to content as the plexes were intended to make for fairer fights. If they have versatility for C1's/2's then I couldn't care if they were allowed in Mediums or above. And you don't see cruisers that often solo roaming too much.

I am definitely FOR having them be able to access smalls but I think with the T3 label, they will only be able to access mediums. If they don't let them into mediums either, that would be a little harsh and then they wouldn't really be useful for plexing.

It was already officially announced they would be able to enter small plexes, not sure why still speculating as to their access?
