Wheres the dislike button? I cant find it!

there shouldnt be any other T3 ship type other than cruisers

ever

Im not sure what your refering to to be honest with you :D Did you post in a topic i made at some stage? :P

Title is misleading...

We talking Tech 3 or Tier 3...never can be really sure anymore.

I am all for new ships and designs...especially of the Tech 3 kind because they are more customizable in designs making them a little more unique to each person. Sorta...

Unfortunately, introducing new ships for the sake of new ships is a bad idea. They need to have a purpose and a reason for existing first. After that I am all for it.

The problem with new Tech 3 ships is you need a really good plan for their capabilities. Just taking T3 Cruisers and doing the same thing but in a smaller hull is kind of pointless.

What is going to be the role of these modular... destroyers?

From where I sit, Cruisers work because they are already a very generalist ship class, Combat ships, Recon Ships, Logistics, etc. Cruiser hulls were already used for a wide variety of purposes. The gold standard of general purpose.

Destroyers are an anti-frigate platform and for interdiction... That is not a lot to work with for a modular design.

And on the PVE side... what Destroyer can be expected to stand up to Sleepers? It really doesn't have the requisite PVE niche.

I would love to buy a covert nullified destroyer with a sig radius of 1 and 150k ehp. But I'm not sure that would be good for anything other than trolling.

Last I heard the next shipment of T3 goodies would be coming out in 2013 at the earliest, unless things have changed.

I despide Tech 3 cruisers and what they stand for. The tengu/loki/proteus all need nerfs, tbh the Legion is what tech 3's should be. Adaptable to an extent but against a ship fit for the same role it should be subpar.

can we please get a teir 2 destroyer before we even consider "TECH 3" destroyer here?

no, more tier 3's would just obsolete even more ships, i eman, holy crap, think of the ridiculous amount fo DPS a NORMAL destroyer can get, now slap some T3 specialties on that mofo, you LITERALLY have an "i kill everything" ship.

the art for tech 3 frigates is rumored to be done, I'd like to see that. frigates as expensive as battleships, cool.

Yup. T3 destroyers and frigates are the answer to a question nobody is asking.

My hope is they would add some new roles with T3

No more ships unification, t3 cruisers are awesome, but meny other ship got less usage since CCP introduce t3 cruisers, you want kill all nice destroyers and interdictors, aslo i say no for t3 frigates, because we got a lot of specific roles small frigates, like assault ships, electronic frigates, interceptors even mining firgates.

Is really easy to add new ships, but is hard to balance them while we got a lot good old ships.

I thought I heard Soundwave mention 'Tech3 Destroyers' in that Ten Ton interview.

I may have misheard, but it seemed like he was dropping a pretty big hint that Tech 3 Destroyers are incoming.

In my mind, the best thing about Strategic Cruisers overall, is that you can fit them to fill the role of Logistics or Command Ship as part of a Black Ops fleet i.e. with a Cov Ops Cloak.

No Tech2 Ship can do that at the moment.
