Thrashers are dessies. Nice try.

1v1 a T2 still has the upper hand over a T1 of the same size class.

T3 ships have been broken since their inception (tengu = god), how do you suspect this idea to even be feasible?

Here's a random thought, use them to introduce a rock-paper-scissors nature to the game. Name have T3 equipped craft be weak on their own (so T1 beats them) but have bonuses when they are opposed to T2 ships. T2 would still have the upper hand over T1, but it'd have something with more oomph than it does. T1 could beat T3, but it's still underpowered compared to T2.

More Subs...sure. Not T3 modules. You dont need it, well unless the ship balancing fails miserably. What would be interesting is to change the null drops from the faction/officer loot to components that would go into a reverse engineer/invention style build requirements for said meta items built by players. Thereby killing off another aspect of seeded items and introducing more player built and driven economies.

I could see a division of null sec/WH and low sec items that would go into the production chains then perhaps limit production to high sec only to encourage "transportation" from one area to another and thereby increasing the likelihood of.... "interception" by those of the Yarr persuasion.

Then by changing where or how much drops where CCP can directly control the markets for said items.

Id also love to see a personal flare for the manufactured items to make them more one of a kind items. Having them loosely based on their meta named counterparts; Estamel, Cormack, Domination, Dread Guristas, etc, but with a player name for each item if wished. This would create another collectors status or goodwill style of value over and above the market or meta level value of the good in question.

How about not? My Gotan's Modified String Vest and Draclira's Modified Leather Cop Hat are working out just fine.

Discuss.

T2 = specialization
T3 = flexibility

T3 is not necessarily better than T2. A T2 module is a better than its T1 counterpart insofar as it's better at the one thing that the module does... But a T3 module doesn't really make sense imo, as the fundamental purpose of a module is to make your ship do one thing better.

Agreed.

I never advocated T3 as a "win button" as some lamebrains here have stated. Flexibility is the thing. It should never be "easy" to get to use or make either.

There's no "win" button here, it's just a discussion about extending the function and use of existing and future modules.

I need a T3 car and a T3 house first :/

What you're talking about, i.e. better than T2, is already in the game in the form of faction, deadspace and officer modules.

you know to be honest i never understood what exactly is overpowered about T3 ships, i have flown T3 for a while and i found them quite underwhelming, not to mention extremely weak against Webbing, scramming and having quite low EHP.

aside from the 100mn Tengu, but even so, all you have to do is dual web it or neut it, and it is a pretty normal ship.





now back to the original topic, i aprove of T3 modules, but more than that, i would love to see Tech 3 Ammo, specially stuff like those sleeper missiles, the praedormitan missiles and alike or their crystals.

Actually Meta 4 Rolled Tungsten plates are better than T2 but there are also a lot of other mods in same scenario.

A T3 module should be standard-use T2 and enhanced T3 function by 'adding' something to it, whether it's fuel blocks or Cap boosters or paste, heck, I don't know, I'm not Indy, but something to "stretch" their useful function. Give Industrialists a fresh challenge and give players even more to look forward to.

The same rule which applies to "getting into a ship" should apply. Just because a player can "get into a battleship" does not mean the player can actually fly it well, nor utilise it to it's full potential - not until all the necessary skills and experience have come into play. The same goes for T3 modules.

I am asking for T3 modules.
