I had a flash of inspiration today
The new Tier 3 BS will have more PG/Cpu/armor/shields/Cap and some say an extra slot, What does a Navy BS have that makes it so sought after? yes the same!
So the Navy BS will directly compete with the new ships.
Better then to discretely discontinue the offers.
Then the next point is what will replace the now redundant Navy ships? Navy versions of the new Tier 3's?
just a shot in the dark but to me seems a plausable reason to remove Our beloved faction BS offers.

From what I understand it isn't the dev's intention to make the faction bs's obsolete. Meaning, the tier 3 bs's won't be better then the faction bs's. I may be horribly mistaken but thats just what I understand

mmm we might see the navy issue ships continue to be offered and then an ever more uber tier 3 navy ship (perhaps a storyline about the calderi and gallente navies developing new ships above what the pod pilot community have access to) this would tie in with factional warfare as well (come to think of it maybe they are being shifted to a factional warfare system)
anyway tin foil hats at the ready

Faction BS offers do exist still, I finally got one, it is for Caldari Navy Raven and its the 500k lp offer. Couldnt find either of the officer tags on escrow so I am suitably unimpressed. Oh and I have just shy of 750k lps so it seems you just have to go a lot higher (I have alomst 50%) above the offer lp requirements to get one, guess I had better do some grinding towards 900k for the "easier" to meet the demands 600k offer. _______

Actually I think the Tier 3 BS can and should be better than (at least some) of the factions ships... I mean I would hope for minmatar the tier 3 is better than the fleet tempest and for amarr the same... CNR is good, but word has it the tier 3 caldi bs will be a gunship ... the navy thron could be equally different from the gallie tier 3 bs...
I really hope they are better cos lets face it, lots of t1 (tech) frigs are better than the faction ones...
A faction ship is not just for effectiveness...

Agreed - I'm hoping the Tier-3 BS's are being introduced with level 5 missions in mind. Certainly level 5 missions should be too tough for currently existing BS's.

The only hints we had about lvl 5 missions is that they MIGHT be gang-oriented, and that they MAY be included in the game near the start of 2007 ...
Don't hold your breath for them, you'll be very blue IF they come in the game ...

The reason they have disappeared is that I have started running missions and am possibly the unluckiest person ever . As soon as I wanted something, the possibility of getting it is removed from the game...
(this is a joke, don't pod me, it would be just my luck )

I am hoping for and expecting lvl5 missions to be things for gangs and dreadnoughts/carriers. --------- ZOMG my sig was concordokkened! Link removed due to bad language on remote site. -wystler

The inability to do gang or Corp missioning seriously hampers my enjoyment of the game.
On the balance of things, Tech 2 Battleships shouldn't be so overwhelmingly superior to Tier 1 and 2 Battleships such that Tier 1 and 2 BS are rendered obsolete.
Perhaps they should just remove 1 of the Tiers and replace it with the Tech 2 version, allowing people to trade up.

TECH 2 Battleships are not even on the drawing board ... TIER 3 Battleships are announced for september ...

To the poster who said that the L5 missions might be gang related...
Don't forget that 50% of the L5 agents are courier agents such as archives, manufacturing, production, etc...
Thus many L5 missions will be uber hauling missions, probably requiring a freighter. |

I somewhat doubt it. Gangs, maybe. Capital ships as a requirement? No. Why? Simple. Too many level 5 agents (which are in game, just not usable) are in 0.5+, where cap ships can't go! Unless the acceptance of a mission allows capital ships to get into high-sec, which I can't see happening because of the obvious exploits.
Just my 0.02 isk.

To be honest, I was thinking the reason it seems faction BS's seems much more difficlt to aquire is the same reason faction modules were removed. Factional warfare.
