Hello!
I'd like to be considered for inclusion in this focus group.
My experience with T3Cs is somewhat limited compared to many of the other applicants, but I am heavily invested in T3C hunting for Black Ops fleets. I also rat in a T3C and theorycraft a lot of different applications for T3Cs both in Kspace and Wormhole space for both ratting and PvP. My focus is the Tengu, but I am familiar with the other T3Cs as well.
Thank you for your consideration. Fly safe. -Lexa Griffin Hidden Flame Blops FC/Huntress for TORP Fleet |

I'll throw my name out there as someone who has been using T3 Cruisers for a long time - in a variety of roles. That may not make me unique among Eve players, but I am also a reasonable player who works well as part of a team and can communicate clearly. Like many others, I am already on Slack.
CCP should add more NPC 0.0 space to open it up and liven things up: the Stepping Stones project.

Hello, Fozzie! I've waited years for this thread. :D
I'd like take part in this focus group to help represent the factional warfare side of this game. I have extensive experience using strat cruisers for solo work in every area of the game, fighting with and against them in lowsec, have been a rabid theory crafter for years, and would like to entertain and encourage out of the box ideas for refining and/or re-imagining how strategic cruisers work in relation to their impact on such a wide variety of roles in this game. I have a free schedule, and am willing to put in however many hours that would be possible or allowed to assist in this focus group.
Ex. for out of the box ideas would include discussing the viability of splitting current strat cruisers into 2 ships, changing the method/form subsystems take in relation to the ship, or simply playing devil's advocate in group discussions to highlight strengths and weaknesses of potential changes. |

I'd like to apply to be considered for a position in the focus group.
While I am not a CSM member, I did apply this year and for my first run, I don't think I did too badly.
I have used T3s in many situations throughout my time in EVE:
C3 solo farming (legion/tengu) Hunting (covops tengu/proteus) AHACs (proteus/loki/legion) Exploring (tengu) DED running (tengu)
I also invest a large amount of time into theorycrafting and have helped design T3 doctrines for use in my current corp, SniggWaffe (in which I'm currently a director).
I am a very analytical person and like to think I consider a situation from all angles before committing to an answer, it's for this reason, coupled with my knowledge and expertise in using T3 cruisers, that I think I'd be ideal for this role. I second anyone from a Snigg leadership position being put on this focus group. They've been reliable, solid opponents for YEARS, and are one of the few groups in lowsec i've run into that don't suffer catastrophic upheavals, and have a clear and level head. |

Hi, my name is Rowells and I'll be applying for consideration.
I've used and lead T3s in numerous different situations:
- Highsec, Lowsec, Nullsec fleets - Shield/Armor doctrines - Used in large and small fleets, blops, utility/prober/hunter, - Member of two different alliance doctrine teams (T3s being a common subject) - PVE uses including anomalies, missions, and incursions
T3s have been my bread and butter for the last few years and I don't think I can remember a time when they weren't in my hangar for one purpose or another. I'm quite certain we can mold these warhorses into to something that is still a reliable jack-of-all-trades while adding and maintaining plenty of uniqueness for them.
I'm already fairly active on slack and have personally always enjoy some good mental flossing with problems like balance and fittings.
As a side note: will this and future teams be using reddit for discussion like some of the previous groups? Or has that been nixed? |

don't know if i would be all to helpful over all but one of the main ships i have built into fleets over the last three years is logistics T3s for blops gangs i have a strong general knowledge of how they work but outside of this niche my experience building fits and flying them is limited.

Hi,
I'd like to throw my name in the proverbial hat as well.
I've been playing EVE with various levels of commitment in the past. I started in 2004 and have stuck around since then. There has been stints in alliances holding space in null-sec, I've been friendly with BoB back in the day, I've been against the Goons, I've been with the Goons. I've lived in W-space, I've been a miner, I've managed POS's, I've done moon mining on my own. I've flow in massive fleets. But at the moment I'm living in highsec taking it easy for the moment.
When I lived in a C3 Wormhole with my small corp we almost exclusively used T3's, they've seen usage in my service for exploration and various PVE experiences (incursions, missions etc). At the moment, I answer to the more casual side of the EVE community. My main activities currently consist of exploration (those yummy sleeper caches are too good to pass up on) and combat site PVE. So far the one thing I haven't done with T3 cruisers is PVP.
It seems to me that the majority of the respondents are from the heavy hitting core EVE community (Null-sec FC's, Wormhole corp CEO's and the like). But it seems to me that the more casual side of the EVE community is very often under represented, which is why I think there needs to be some counter balance. I'd happily carry the torch, but if there is someone better suited I'll let them step up - there just need to be someone representing them/us.
Anyhow, fly unsafe and never give up! o7 |

I want to contribute to the T3 focus group. My play in EVE is centred around manufacturing and flying T3 cruisers, spending most of my time living inside wormhole space, solo or in small gangs. The Proteus is my current favourite (flew the Loki before that) and thanks to the recent module rebalancing effort active tanks can and do work well against sleepers.
I'm interested in ensuring that interesting fringe builds of T3 cruisers as they are used now remain viable after the simplification. Living in wormhole space necessitates the use of multipurpose ships and fits, especially for solo play where you have to do everything. T3 cruisers make this kind of play possible. A lot of recent changes have focused on large scale play which affect huge alliances in null sec. While that is important for a lot of people it would be a shame to lose small scale use of these ships to rebalance. |

I would like to be part of this. I've been playing eve off an on for a long time and would like to help contribute. I don't have a ton of experience with T3 cruisers. but I've been killed by them a few times. that counts as something. =) I feel I can bring a different perspective, more out of the box type of thinking, and hope to help bring them online with what people truly desire as a variable roll ship. |

I would like to participate in this focus group because I believe I am very skilled at cloaked T3-Cruiser gameplay for scouting, scanning recon, and black ops hunter.
I am highly experienced in using Black Ops in a small-scale environment. For this purpose I have a T3 cruiser with a dedicated pilot who acts as my scout, cyno, and hunter. She is always kept around since having a T3 over a regular scanning ship brings many advantages and is very powerful. For instance, it can act as a platform to provide intel, to tackle targets indefinitely, or to provide crucial probing capabilities.
While I do have experience using a T3 in pvp fleet fights in both WHs and nullsec, I would like to stress that this is not what I regularly use a T3 for. My use for T3s is a niche and I deem it crucial for the health of the game to continue to have expensive scouts, intel platforms, probers and tacklers bundled together in one high end ship with many options to modify.
To conclude, I think I am best suited for this focus group because the development team should profit from my skillset in this particular area. I want the T3s to keep their 'general purpose' spirit and therefore cover the described area. |

I'd like to be part of this focus group. I have experience with T3s in small and large fleets, in both low and nullsec. I've hunted, explored, used one in nullsec PvE and highsec PvE. I've also run large T3 fleets. Most of my PVP experience is with a web Loki or FCing from a T3, but I also have Tengu and Legion experience and understand the overall T3 world.
I'm particularly interested in the support T3 roles (tackle Proteus, web Loki, ECM Tengu, neut Legion, etc.). I have slack active, can use it and speak English. |

For example, Tangu with HAM can choose better damage against anything while Legion can only do em/th with energy weapon and less damage. Legion can only fight affectively against Sansha rats with main pulse laser but when it get tracking disruption your weapon range will become like 1000km and can't do a **** against the rats. However, Tangu HAM has no problem with tracking disruption because missiles is ******* op. Please make each T3 good and useful against certain faction rats so that it stop everyone to choose Tangu. I have a better idea. Burn them down to the ground. All of them, all of their stats. The problem is not and never has been that some T3s excel in some areas better than others, it has been that T3s excel in every area over every other ship in the game, save for a very select few roles. Something that is supposed to be a jack of all trades but master of none should be a jack of all trades and a master of none. If they're heavily tanked, their DPS should suck. If they're nice and ganky, their tank should suck. If they're cloaky, they should have ****** dps. If they're nullified, they should have ****** tank. But Legion is been like this: heavily tanked while its dps is **** because its armour fit. However, Tangu is a master of all, that is why everyone are using it. besides if you want a good pvp T3, you need to spend over 1b isk for the fit. Because of this, not everyone want to risk it in pvp situation. |

Hey,
I'm a HK and FC for the NPSI community "Bombers Bar". I use the tengu / proteus as a hunter killer in many unique ways.

Hello Team Five 0, as a T3 producer and user, I am very interested in being part of this focus group.
As a tech 3 cruiser user, I do various activities Exploration, Wormhole Space Site Running, Brawling PvP, Cloaky PvP, and kiting PvP.
As a tech 3 cruiser producer, I can provide an additional viewpoint of what impact these changes can cause to wormhole space's PvE landscape.

I think I'm not entitled to be included in the Focus Group. However I would like to suggest to focus the changes on the key strength around which the ship design revolves: flexibility and versatility.
The ability to be almost anything, in a reasonable amount of time (minutes), is a unique feature. Sometimes you need exactly that, a Swiss Army knife.
Iterate and improve on this. Things like a dedicated Subsystem cargo bay, being able to refit without a mobile depot (with usual restrictions), and "utility features" of the like would boost the unique gameplay factor and vastly improve the experience of us, the "swiss army knife" guys, without making the class overpowered. |

I'm a relative nobody, but still going to throw my hat into the ring.
I use T3Cs for PVP and PVE. Primarily lowsec based. Small and large fleets. Low-effort gatecamps. I do missions and sites in lowsec because it's easier to not worried about being highsec capable. Also involved with T3C production on some alts.
The problem I see with T3Cs conceptually is that grouping subsystems by offensive, defensive, etc. just leads to people picking subsystems that synergize way too well. Reducing the range/diversity of subsystem won't fundamentally fix problems with the class.
Based on what I saw from the Fanfest presentations, I expect one of two things will happen;
- The changes will do nothing substantial, and T3Cs continue being over-represented,
- Heavy-handed nerfs will be applied, reducing T3Cs to irrelevancy, and screwing with w-space income.

I'm one of the primary fittings wizards for the E-UNI wormhole campus (C2 low-class wspace), so I bring a perspective from a somewhat unique area where we don't really care about abnormally sized buffer.

I concur with Maxwell DuSmart's points. Hope to see this group focus on general improvement of the Tech III cruisers with the goal of maintaining their flexibility and versatility; I absolutely abhor the idea of a major overhaul turning these cruisers into bigger 'tactical destroyers'.
I would like to be part of this Focus Group but I honestly haven't done anything spectacular with my Strategic Cruisers yet besides all-encompassing PvE (although given years of experience could consider myself an expert in that at least) albeit I do aspire to delve into PvP with them in the near future.

If invited to the upcoming focus group, I would be an asset for the following reasons:
I currently use T3Cs in every terrain excluding high security space. I am active in groups that use these hulls all the way from solo, up to lowsec and nullsec fleet combat. In the past I've created niche tournament fits that were used to secure match wins. My specialty is looking at the implementation of new mechanics, modules, hulls and seeing how they interact at every scale from solo up to tidi-scale fleet combat. In order to accomplish this, I frequent the test server and use EFT/PYFA damage graphs to look for optimal builds for whatever scale of composition and use case I'm building. Any design implementation or mechanics I would put forth as a member of this group would be tested to ensure that they have healthy counterplay and are in line with your design goals for these hulls.
Thank you for your consideration. |

I'd like to sign up to toss my pennies around on these ships.
I have experience with T3C from the dark days of the super drake (tengu from drakefleet days) right up to today's AHAC fleets. Flown with them in both large and small fleets and in a range of roles from DPS to tackle to logi and E-war support. I want to look at this rebalance from the view of the other ships as well as getting a few improvements to T3C (mostly getting them to be actually adaptable on the fly). Primary goal I have is to get T3C down to the level of cruisers and ensure they do not overpower the t2 cruiser "specialists". |

Fair enough. You spend a billion isk on a T3C, I'll spend a billion isk on a battleship. Then we'll compare them in the following metrics:
1) Survivability in PVP (spoiler: the T3C will win, be it against the BS or against pretty much any other solo target) 2) PVE ticks (spoiler: the T3C will win, given that you can solo 10/10s with a single T3C and if a battleship can do it at all, it will be with warpouts) 3) Utility in PVP (spoiler: the T3C is BUILT for utility, though this is by design) 4) Mobility (spoiler: ...sigh, you get it already...)
There is one and only one metric where a battleship will beat a T3C, and that is raw damage against a sufficiently large target.
That the Tengu excels more than the other T3Cs is a red herring; ALL T3Cs excel over virtually all other ships.
Burn them to the ground. |

Looks like I'm fashionable late to inviting myself to this shindig. I have had experience flying all 4 strategic cruisers in hi sec, low sec, wormholes and now in null. I've used them in small gang, large fights, solo and pve. I'm a big believer of "if it isn't broke, don't fix it.". I think that there are a few things that need to be fixed with them but for the most part they are right where they should be. I also already have slack. |

Hey there!
Please consider my application to be in the T3 Strategic Cruiser Focus Group.
Game design balance is something I massivley enjoy and have spent many, many hours creating and designing Eve Online tournaments for EVE_NT and other projects using basic game design principles that I have taught myself. I would relish the opportunity to be a part of a team that gives feedback on targeted proposed changes from a player perspective. When necessary I can communicate concisely and effectively as part of a team or on a one to one basis and enjoy reading about, and commenting on Eve Online. I would like to think I have an open mind and whilst I certainty have opinions, I try not to approach discussions with a personal agenda.
I have played eve online quite actively for over 7 years and flown Tech 3 Cruisers on many many occasions in a variety of roles including the following;
As a 'go to ship' for wormhole combat when living in class 2-5 WH's, flying on a daily basis in carious configurations, mainly as an FC in a Loki. As hunter-killer covert ops ships in both WH space and Nullsec. As a lowsec gate-camper for a small pirate gang. Fleet combat in nullesc - Loki artillery fleets, Tengu Rail/Missile fleets, Proteus/Legion a-hac style fleets. Guerrilla warfare style 'un-probabale' Tengu fleets. As an exploration/scouting ship mainly focused on probing and data/relic sites. As 'tinker' remote repiar logistics ships in tournament setting.
I am familiar with Eve Online PVP in many forms, from playing key roles in nullsec fleets, to small gang and objective warfare FC'ing and coordinating, to being a team captain and theory crafter for Ministry of Inappropriate Footwork tournament team.
Thanks. |

Hello, I wouldn't mind participating in this focus group since it's affecting one of my favorite ships in Eve. I run support with the Loki and use it for WH exploration, Tengu is used for PvE. I have been playing Eve Online since 2009 so I have decent knowledge with Eve's in-game mechanics and would enjoy giving some of my opinions towards these unique ships.
