While the OP appears to have no clue about the goals for tech 3 when the concept was introduced,* he might also be refering to the general marked and income implications by a tech 3 nerf, which might decrease demand to an amount where WH income is below 0.0.

*they were infact designed to be exactly what the dev's now seem to plan to "nerf" them to: Jack of all trades, master of non, as opposed to tech 2.

If it were up to me (which it clearly isn't), Id have t2 design ships as THE best ship for a particular role, e.g the best brawlers, kiters, scanners, remote reppers, etc. They would be THE specialized (and therefore BEST for their role) ships for their race.

I'd have t3s reach somewhere near 80-90% ( just under) the effectiveness of a t2 if you design the subsystems and mods around that role, however it would remain flexible enough to swap it's role by replacing sub systems/ modules at stations/ POS so that you could fly a full DPS t3 or swap out at a station/ POS to something different like for example- cloaky, scanner, remote rep, kiter, etc.

That would make t2 the ship you would go to if you needed to specialize your role in a fleet. T3 would be the ship you could change roles depending on what was needed at the time, also if you were limited in terms of ship movement or storage or just if you wanted 1 ship that could do a lot of different things effectively but still not as good as buying/ moving/ alt-piloting many different specialized ships.

If that meant buffing the t2 and nerfing the t3 then that's what I'd do.

but a few things realy need to change
* T3 should not be able to use covert ops and nullified at same time
* passive tank for proteus is too big
* HAM tengu has way too much DPS
* T2 needs te be better at specialized roles (at least for a part)

It's true when you look at T3s from the perspective of a wormhole dweller.
* Their tank and dps is close to that of a T1 battle ship but they don't have the utility of a battle ship.
* They are slower and have worse damage projection than a HAC
* They are roughly equivalent to a faction BC and massively inferior to a pirate faction BS
* They allow small gangs to jump someone running a sight without the need for bringing 5+ logistic ships
* They enable a group to enter a hostile wormhole and fight without getting insta-popped due to the home team advantage
* They allow wormhole fleets to be effective with relatively small numbers

The alternative to bringing a 10 man T3 gang is bringing a 20 man HAC fleet and personally, i don't want that style of null sec pvp to come to wormhole space.

i want it so that a SPECIALIZED T2 ship is better in the task in what its specialized. thats not strange or wrong it just makes sense. i want the T3 to be a good alternative for EVERY T2 role.

HACs are tough but mobile cruisers that can take a lot of punishment. What we want to do is extend that tenacity to some of their other systems, namely electronics and capacitor.

but why is it that some specialized ships suck so hard if you compare them to T3s

HACs are worse than T3s...
