I would like to ask the devs to take this whole thing back to the drawingboard.
Im not all that upp to speed with ships other than Minmatar ones but among them I find the changed apalling.
The Probe a scout ship?
The Probe is a frigg hauler, its the role it has had since I started playing and it does it very well, its one of the few tech I friggs I regularly use for anything other than pure amusement.
The only problem with the Probe is that it kills the Burst, sure the Burst is minutilly better at mining as oposed to the probe but when it comes down to it 99 out of 100 will go for the probe all the same.
Thus keep the Probes role and strengthen the Bursts.
Next the Bellicose... EWAR?
WHY!
The Bellicose is not now and has never been an EWAR ship, its a wonderfull ship with one main weakness, its difficult to fly to its potential.
People on the way upp compare it with the stabber and realize naturally that the stabber requires little skill and has more firepower.
Later however when you have advanced in skills and become more vercitile you (If you choose to try it out) find that the belicose outperforms the stabber.
Why would you want to turn this beautifull shipp into a useless EWAR ship. The minmatar does not have a dedicated EWAR cruiser, never has had one and if you really want one in the game then designe a new ship type, dont radically alter a good ship just because it is not used alot in PvP.
My main issue with the whole overhaul is that you make groups, each race should have a miner, a scout, a tackler and so on.
Why?
The beauty of having 4 races with their own ship types with their own strengths and weaknessess is that there does not have to be a perfect balance.
In real life if I want a fast car then I buy a Ferarri or Porche, if I want a reliable 5 door I buy a Volvo.
The same goes for EvE, if you want an EWAR ship you look at the market and find the ship that suits you best, then you train the apropriate skills to allow you to fly that ship.
I can understand why tech II ships need to come in quardruplets as the time required to fly one of them is considerable but when it comes to tech I ships... well you can easilly get lev 4 in any cruiser skill in a week or two, let the races keep their unique flavor and only make minor changes so that all ships are usefull... please.
