It may not be smart and he will more than likely crash it, but its his right to do it. Same rule applies here. They may not be ready for a BS, but when they lose it, they gain experience on why not they should not be flying it.
I think your comparison is all wrong. BS are not a shiny ferrari they're more like a truck or an SUV. And strangely enough for PVE a BS with lvl 2 and 3 large skills is better than a BC with lvl 4 and 5 skills. In fact the new skill trees will make it even easier for folks to get into a BS. Just ... they won't be able to afford one.
For pvp it's a whole different story but as I said before you don't see that many BS, in smaller gangs anyway, now you won't see any. Thus depraving you of the so desired of you juicy kills.
As far as performance increase goes compare the caldari line: DPS goes : raven, rokh, Naga(if you don't consider the drones of the rokh) , with the naga being able to run from unpleasant situations with much higher chance of success. |

Why does everyone assume that rushing into a BS is a bad idea. Obviously BS is not for the small gang or solo pvp, since it cannot get out of the fecal matter if it happens to hit the oscillating air propagator. Devs see 500 abaddon fought in pvp this month and think all is fine but the fact is that it was 1 fleet with 500 of the same ship. No small gang BS, no not in eve.
However for pve it's the only ship that makes sense - large reppers or large EHP are the only thing that can and will save you in a serious pve situation, whether group or solo that's the only ship that makes sense (well there's the tengu nowadays and the ishtar and gila from the original lineup, but those just confirm the rule). And in PVE there is no such thing as rushing into a BS. The earlier you get into one the earlier you start rolling the dough. Hell if I was starting a new account now, I'd get to lvl 4 ASAP just so I can start making real money and after that get into an incursion with meta 4 guns , t 1 rigs and somewhat faction tank. OF course with price of 300 mil the initial investment into a BS is too big for a newbie. Obviously the newbie has to fork over 15 extra just to get into it's new shiny ship.
Ah well the best we can do out of a bad situation is buy as many tier 1 ships as we can and wait for the market to double the prices. It will kill the manufacturers but ah well, at least CCP can sell more plexes |

OP stated that all BS prices will be equal to the prices of the current tier 3s. So I'm thinking that 220 mil domi better bring twice the dps of it's current version... oh it won't , does it have twice the tank? ... no ? Does it move twice as fast? NO? What do you mean it's dps is actually lower. I thought the price went up? Can we buy the BPO of the current domi at the current price and keep making it? It's obviously the better ship, price wise, dps wise , utility wise, everything wise... G-+ddamnit I hate totalitarian regimes , and this "open box" game just took away yet another choice from me. Fu-ük you! |

back when the domi was 60 mil it was such a great ship to lose, and to win in. If bigger doesn't necessarily mean better, does it mean it's worse?
Right now bigger means worse. Slower and in a lot of cases with less DPS. And to top it all 4x the price.
And I thought price wasn't supposed to be a part of the balance? If you cut off -¦ big part of the ships from the newer players doesn't that mean that you're trying to balance the game using price? Slow down the progress?
All in all, removing the tiers didn't make all the ships of equal power, it didn't even improve the lower tiers, it just made them more and more inaccessible.
The big alliances make the big money, inflation makes the isk cost less and less, ultimately driving the in game currency into the worthless and undesirable status.
If isk dies game dies. If I need to spend a plex just to buy and equip a tier 1 ship, do you honestly think that I'd want that plex. It's not like that t1 ship is immortal. If you make the t1 ships cost that much that they NEED to be immortal ultimately you're forcing the players to not risk them in any meaningless violence situations. And meaningless violence is what the game runs on. |
