I would like to see a different aproach towards the ballancing of ships.


Now CCP aproaches the ships as a game that should be be ballenced though, with the number of ships and players that is an illusion within the sandbox.

Why not take it from a more real life aproach, an "Arms Race" work from the two classing empires that are in a cold war with eachother.

Caldari inventing counters to Gallante an the other way arround the same should be for Anmar and Minmatar and maybe even ORE and some prirate factions.

Instead of removing or changing ships atributes a new ship comes in comission, to give some nasty counter to this or that nasty ship.

This could be done by bringing an entire new ship that within time repaces the old one (Blueprints will no longer be produced, maybe not even coppied) or it could be a slightly new update on the exsisting ship like the optical make overs as done with the Raven last time along with technical modifications, name chance would be nice as well, could be as simple as Raven II or the like.

With Eve running since 2003 in a time of coldwar it would be more than normal to have replaced certain ships.

It also give the players their new ships without having to think of new roles, because they will be replacement of their old ones.
