If anyone caught the stream earlier, fozzie stated that we are finally getting a balance wave for some of the T3 subsystem that are currently unused.
Anyone else excited? T3s have been my favourite ship addition since their introduction. This deserves a discussion thread!

Gonna be awesome isn't it? They should be ship-of-the-line for big alliance subcaps, expensive, lethal but all thats really worth using at the moment are the niche point proteus and webbing loki. I guess you get the odd slippery pete tengu but damn I want a reason to fly more of em

There's loads of stuff that 'jack of all trades' is great for if done right, look at the stratios. Especially now we have mobile depots for refitting. T3's better subsystems will need a little nerf of course, but if they could re-fit on the fly like a carrier they would see plenty more uses. They would go from being basically HACs to allowing some of the different playstyles fozzie was talking about.
Imagine a squad of cloaky nullified tengus that could refit on the fly depending on the situation. They would never be as good at any role as a dedicated T2 variant but they could adapt to any battlefield scenario making versatility a credible choice.

Not sure you'll find thousands of Legion pilots.
We all know the main 6-5 subsystems need toning down a touch. I think T3's power should be the ability to be reactionary. With T2 you pick the best ship for the job. If T3's lost slots being tied to subsystems, and could switch them on the fly without depots (With some penalty - emptying capacitor and shutting down engines so it couldn't be used mid engagement) being a swiss army knife starts to work.

Well the beauty of a re-balance is problems like subsystems cargo size can be addressed. They could get a dedicated bay, for example.
Yeah, T3 will be weaker than a T2 doing the same job. A legion shouldn't be a better AHAC than a legion, a Loki shouldn't be a better webber than a huginn. It should be damn near as good, however, and switching roles should be possible on the fly to make up for it. If you know what your facing, undock T2, if you aren't sure undock T3 and adapt. That's how I think it should go at least...

They will probably tone down the subsystems that make T3 better than T2 at a particular role - some will see it as a nerf. A loki shouldn't be a better webber than a huginn, but it should make up for it with crazy speed or damage projection or something instead.
I want to make a proteus into a dampening stratios or a tengu into a jamming eagle, that kind of stuff.

Yeah, you still want the recon to be better at the role it is for. What good is a fleet recon when a T3 has just as good ewar and a better tank?
The curse should remain a better neuter than the legion, perhaps with better range. The Legion should be able to make up for the loss of neut range with greater manoeuvrability and a couple of sentry drones, for example.
If you just want stuff neuted, you pick the recon every time.

The price is meh, get richer peasants.
I get skill point loss being a bit dumb, but I still have a lot to train for!
Not switching rigs is fine, you need to make intelligent choices and there are plenty of versatile rigs out there.
Additional subsystems? What did you have in mind? What do you think is missing?
