Disconnect anyone?
You had the expac released and within a few weeks this thread started. If you thought that people would be wondering around in all areas of space in T3 ships you really aren't paying attention to your game, or so it seems. Do you not pay attention to history? How long was it until you found people galloping around in Battle Cruisers or better yet, Battleships after release? How long was it before T2 ships were a mainstay in fleets after release?
I take a look at T2 rigs and find that it's just another area where the Devs didn't complete the 'spit and polish' that is needed. T2 ships were made with only 2 rig slots and higher calibration. To me, that says that T2 ships were MEANT to equip T2 rigs. At the current cost of T2 rigs, there isn't much of an incentive to equip them with the minor improvement they offer by quadrupling the cost of a ship that isn't even insurable.
I see so much potential in your current endeavors but I don't see the follow through to get that potential. For years, many players have simply dealt with overly cumbersome UI's, bugs and procedures and instead of continuing the fruitless pursuit of bug reporting they just state; "it's a feature, not a bug".
fyp
The answer is "not very long" people were gallivanting around in battleships less than a month after release. HACs took a bit longer but not Assault Frigs, an Interceptors (before Interdictors) were never in short supply after their release. In terms of time it took to learn, well many had to lvl their final prep skill up to 5 but lots had it to 5 already.
Honestly, what I think is really taking tech III a little time to catch on is the fact that it requires bigger ******* to see the process through all the way to the sweet end. You don't have to just get hold of a ship bp and rare ore, you have to kill sleepers, research many bps, invent, have a pos to make the components, then you can finally build the freaking thing. At that point you have to train up not one or two, but no less than 6 skills to fly it. All of those cost isk too..
yikes.
