Player Features and Ideas Discussion

So today I’m going to post a dodgy T3 Battleship idea and as I know some people may disagree on this as T3 ships do seem unbalanced to a lot of players but I aim to try and suggest some ideas on a decently balanced ship.
The idea is pretty simple should I put it and doesn’t stick to the new theme of mode switching ships instead goes back to an idea leaning on the t3 cruisers and their modular design yet scaled back to a certain extent, the deal here is to try make a ship that is similar to the current t3s but tends to lean to a more dedicated platform compared to the modular T3 cruiser and the mode switching in destroyers. The idea centres around the ships taking the form of a hull with the idea of a t3 cruiser and their modular design and focusing it into specific category’s, instead of having the ship being built around multiple subsystems I believe the ship could be focused around a single one that modifies or adds onto the ships traits. This would mean instead of having a ship that’s a mixture of things it would fall a little more in line with t2 ships with their focused traits and usage.
The way the ships would work is that they would be limited to one or two subsystems that are focused to do dedicated things such as a Defensive subsystem, Offensive Subsystem, Scanning/Exploration, Electronic warfare/Logistics and Engineering/Ship Agility. This would limit the ship down to two things and could be mixed or matched to the players liking or their usage of the ship.

Some ideas for the stats

Offensive - Racial damage bonuses, Tracking, Missile bonuses targeting range so on.
Defensive - racial tanking bonuses e.g. damage resistances so on.
Scanning/Exploration - Easier to scan down ships and things like sites as well as maybe the possibility of scanning cloaked ships but not making it too easy to scan them down >.>
Electronic warfare/Logistics - electronic warfare racial bonuses strength range it can work so on.
Engineering/Agility – bonuses towards ship capacitor or ships overall agility maybe dropping it down to either battlecruiser agility or somewhere in between the two classes.

Just an idea room for change I guess any ideas or changes or comments sorry I can’t put my idea out very well

Also no more T3 anything till they fix the current ones.

Those are the main problem of the sleeper cruisers.

And we don't need to scan down someone who isn't there. That is what the NSA is for or the FBI or the Federal Marshall Service or the Ghost Busters or NASA or VISA or The Bank of Switzerland are for.

I can promise you that, never have I ever killed a boat while I wasn't there.

Even CCP has said they have no plans for a T3 Battleship. Cruisers were ridiculous enough, we don't need something that's a Battleship++ with a swiss army knife strapped to it.

Granted that was back when the design of T3s called for as much tank as the next full class step up, but still no. Also having a single hull that can select a single specialty is, um, not a very T3 thing. It's not like Battleships even have very many T2 specialist hulls for a T3 to emulate off of. There's Black Ops and Marauders and that's it.

Okay that one time my alliance mate had a 15 drone svipul doesn't count.

You are getting your idea across just fine. It's just an idea that has been suggested many many times before abd each time was rejected for the reasons listed above.

You deffinetly didn't do yourself any favors by mentioning locating cloaky ships though. That is always a hot button topic.

Personally I'm waiting on T4 destroyers. What could go wrong?

They already handled the T3 battleship issue, its called the Bastion module.

The better way to handle this would probably be to create multiple types of Bastion modules that can alter the ship in different ways, with each needing to be separately trained.
