If I recall correctly, the last Tech II ships were introduced in Trinity (EAS, HICs, Black Ops and Marauders) 6 years ago!!!
Since we have a lot of T1 hulls still available without T2 counterpart: Tier 2 and now also Tier 3 BCs, some combat frigates, Tier 2 destroyers, most capital ships (only Freighters have a T2 version, being the only ships that require T2 capital parts)... I was wondering if CCP have any plans on releasing new T2 ships.
I'm not sugesting anything, just asking if there are any plans. I would love a dev blog with a teaser about this... |

Well, before introducing new tech2 ships we should ideally fix the existing hulls. By that we mainly mean Black Ops, Electronic Attack Ships, Command Ships, Heavy Assault Ships, but the list goes on.
Command Ships are on our direct focus for this year, while this won't add new ships by itself, this change will most likely put obsolete hulls back into the light. Want to use the Eos as an advanced Drone boat? Or the Damnation as a missile spammer? You can.
We do recognize we need more goals for our veterans however, so we do have plans for new tech2 hulls indeed. Exactly how and when is a bit too soon for us to say, but this is definitely being considered.
Hope that is a good tease  |

I would much prefer fixes / balances etc on existing ships than another bunch of new ships! Hell, there are so many damn ships anyway i never know what to fly! I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannh+ñuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.....Time to die. |

If they had time, they could just throw out all the obsolete ships and introduce new ones with the rebalanced stats, and no one would be the wiser. Except shitstorm because someone just lost their fav ship model |

Exactly. There are literally hundreds of ships we can fly; lack of variety isn't the issue here. Lack of variety of viable ships within the available list of existing hulls is.
I'm really looking forward to the T2 cruiser rebalance. Vote for Malcanis for CSM8 https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=192717&find=unread |

You're thinking of it backwards
Rather then "when are we getting more T2 ships..." think what holes are there in the current selection of ships that could be filled with a T2 variation"
also, fix what's out there first, then add more tbh |

Teases are allways nice. 
But besides Fozzies post in F&I and the Link between Dust and Tranq it feels like not really much happend in this young year. How about more F&I-Stickies? Integrating the Players optinions into design processes would be a little dream coming true. Perhaps just tossing us some bone like: "Hey we will set focus on this and that in this year." You did this. Thanks for that.
What are the other teams doing? I totally respect hollyday times and the indisputible #1 priority to share time with their friends and family but some more hints on what could be coming up to us this year.
POS-Redoing? Big roundtable about 0.0 (I don't live there and don't know what's broken, if there was something broken)? Some resolutions like "I want to be more active on the forums." from some/more devs?  Other player inspired ships? Perhaps a weapon review coming up 2014?
Pretty please!  |

for eas: give a role bonus like you did for Assault frigs (50% reduction in mwd sig radius)
how about for blops they can use a mjd while cloaked?
that and a cool down bonus for mjd?
as for hacs? the two i would focus on are the deimos and eagle
for the eagle i would get rid of the second optimal range bonus and repalce with a second damage bonus or rate of fire bonus and then give it another turret high slot and increase pg
as for the deimos replace the mwd bonus with a tracking bonus give it a 4th mid slot and reduce mass.
i am excited for all the threads in the comming future that talk about these ships... At the end of the game both the pawn and the Queen go in the same box. |

I never understood why we have to tattoo it on their scalps like some pirate map. Wouldnt taking some pictures and then uploading them to say Facebook be easier?
Also for the rebalance people, its buffing not nerf. They want to make the ships better not drag them down to be crap. |

Dunno what your timescales or plans are but it would be really nice to see more T2 tweaked in 2013.
HACs really need a look at after the T1 cruiser changes. Recon also could do with a look. Especially Gallente - like those damp bonuses... Blops. Y NO T2 resists? Perhaps more cargo? Maybe an eeeeeny bit more range?
The bottom line is that now I have one of those annoying signatures. |

The interceptors need a little tweaking also, I am thinking about a little more targeting range for the tackle bonused ones (% to point/scram range interceptors)
35-40 km base would work better than the current 25-30 as it would make more sense for people to fit faction points or such a t2 point has 30km range, on a stiletto, while the lock range is only 31.25ish, however, consider that you can also overload the module, but this is pointless without a lock range increase
Also, from my personal viewpoint, they also need a little extra PG, between 1-5 base, but thats just my personal opinion.
Also, not your department, but the warp speed (AU/s) should matter more... specially on short warps, so you should get someone to poke someone... about improving the warp acceleration mechanics so ships accelerate faster inside warp based on their max warp speed :D just my two cents Christmas wish list https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=134275 Module activation delay! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1180934 |

It doesn't have anything to do with lock range, which can be increased just fine with signal amps.
I agree completely on the point about warp acceleration, however. Phrases like "you can't nerf / buff X EVE is a Sandbox" have the same amount of meaning as "If this is a sack of potatoes then you can not carrot." - Alara IonStorm |
