I stumbled across this article today after a corpmate spoke something about retraining battlecruisers in the new expansion. I have no idea why this is going on. Is CCP smoking dope? (probably.) I thought the classes were innovative enough as it is. I do agree some ships need to be rebalanced - (mostly an entire bunch of useless cruisers.) but the accessing part (skill training) I believe is just fine. Yeah sure, once you train battlecruisers, all you have to do to unlock other races ships is to begin training it up, but is that such a big deal? I already spend months at a time attempting to get into a bigger and better ship, making me retrain all this BS is going to be unbearable.

It's just something I don't agree with, the tech tree is fine, leave it, begin working on cruisers and remove tier 3's entirely from the game. That's my opinion.

Other than that. . . I can't believe CCP had the balls to call the Myrmidon and the Dominix a hit-and-run ship. . . Makes me question if they even play the game.

Dunno. Typically I would rage in this case, I was just curious if anyone else had a shared opinion. I already dedicated an entire year to teching one race up, I would enjoy thinking that my goal to the secondary race would be half-as-long.

I'm totally with CCP on revamping the whole game. Any change on a singular aspect of EVE's future mustn't be focused on entirely unless, of course if it becomes completely unacceptable, which I doubt things would become.

Crucible has proven something to CCP and they're continuing that awesomness through the months, to next April's Fanfest and beyond!

Focus on the idea of multiple everything changing and the future of EVE will be great. Not just one thing.
Sandbox is a tricky game to change, evidently, and they have already exclaimed that this ship balancing is a delicate matter.

You do realise that you wont have to retrain anything? CCP have repeatedly come out and stated that anything you can fly now, you will be able to fly in Inferno. The rest of your post is just some impotent complaining to add substenance to your core complaint - that you think you have to do more training to fly battlecruisers, when you won't.

Also, there appears to be a smattering of butthurt from alpha-nados mixed in for good measure.
