Rubbish. The Navy versions will be as effective as they are now. If you want to use the T1 then crack on, but it's disingenuous to suggest that Navy is suddenly crap.
Game is about relative performance bub, that's what "balance" is all about. If an inexpensive t1 cruiser becomes superior to a far more expensive and hard to obtain navy cruiser after the patch then something is quite undeniably wrong.
The reality is that the SFI probably suffers the least from the relative change in performance between t1 and faction however as pointed out several times in this thread... Other cruisers are not fairing nearly as well.

Hardly. People regularly pay 4/5 times more for an item with 5% more of something in it, or 5% less fitting etc. As long as a navy cruiser is 1% better in some way, it will still be flown.
If you honestly think that anything other than a tiny proportion of the eve population will pay 4x to 5x more for a ship with a minimal 1% increase in effectiveness you're smoking some seriously good ****.
The reality is that the issue being poked at by the op has already been admitted by ccp and will be addressed most probably late next year. |

In a year-and-a-half CCP will release the new command ships, and after that you could see the navy issue ships improved slightly. They would probably tell you it's not a high priority. There is a lot of other stuff coming first.
Commands should be rebalanced by next summer... Not a year and a half  BCs will probably be revamped before that.

Cruisers are now, battlecruisers are summer expansion, battleships are probably next winter expansion, then the summer after that may be command ships.
BCs will be early next year, re read blog

You guys are way to optimistic they promised us walking in stations and all we got YEARS latter was a 1 room bachlor pad with a DOOR that doesn't work.
Yea... because building a graphic engine from the ground up and introducing thousands upon thousands of art files is even remotely comparable to a balance pass... Oh wait it's not.
I'm not trying to white knight here but using incarna **** up as some kind of justification for the point that BC, BS, T3s, and Commands will not get a balance pass in a reasonable time frame is an utter fail. Especially considering we've had had more than 40 ships balanced within the past 3-4 months...

Yes, that would be the spring/summer expansion. They don't have any specific release date. How about you re-read the blog?
"Well thatGÇÖs pretty much it for now, remember this is just a vision for the beginning of 2013 and as such, not final. We have more balancing changes to be planned and released, so keep your eyes peeled for updates."
While obviously not containing any specific dates the "beginning of 2013" most certainly does coincide with my statement about early next year, as next year does happen to be 2013... The entire dev blog is simply summing up their "vision" of changes they would like to introduce "for the beginning of 2013".
I'm pretty much 100% certain that we will see at the very least a bc balance pass well before next summer's xpack.
