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.

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.

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.

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...

your RIGHT, 700mil should buy you a ship that will NEVER outperform ANYTHING, it amkes perfect since, paying more for less, with the threat of insta-losing SP if you dont eject in time, is TOTALY gonna make people want to even own a T3 of any kind.

3. Before even thinking about new tech3 ships they should and mostly will try to finish the above mentioned rebalancing process and the in this context necessary tuning of all existing shiplines including allready existing tech2 and tech3. that might take a wile, so no tech3 destroyer on the horizon i think.

They need to continue fixing Hybrid Turrets so that Nagas and other Caldari Hybrid-based Ships actually work. The last thing the game needs is another class of ships that STILL don't work.

Rokhs suck atm, still. I use mine only for gas cloud mining, for sakes.

Strategic destroyer:

May fit 8 torp launchers and variant of the infinite point

Torps fly 80km at x10 speed if regular torps

Primary Purpose : to suicide gank.

Interdictors fill that role I thought.

let me rephrase that.... Another "TECH" 1 Destroyer that is a "TIER" 2

Tech and Teir are 2 entirely different things

There.

"No Sir, I didn't like it."

Regardless, they need to find an actual current ROLE for the T1 Dessies before adding yet more ship types to the game. And the role for many other ships as well. Too many loose ends still out there.

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 fact CCP put much emphasis on exactly this fact! Tech 3 is more versatile while at the same time less capable in each of this specialised roles than it-¦s tech2 counterpart.

so maybe you should be prepared to see your soapbubble of imba-tech3 burst...

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.

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.
