Because they don't want you to be GOD in it.

Unless they plan on releasing all three of the other destroyers in the next update, it means that Minmatar pilots will have to wait six weeks, Caldari pilots twelve and Gallente pilots eighteen weeks after the Rhea release to get their hands on the destroyers which should damn well have been released on the same day. Like I said, downright spiteful behaviour by CCP.
Well they basically made it a contest and we all chose which ones we wanted first. In the end, it's our own damn fault.
Yaay!!!!

The difficulty comes with balancing them all.
Sometimes the best of both worlds is the worst of each one.
Do T3's need a rebalance, yes.
Would merging this and adjusting the T3 subsystems work.. Maybe.
That would be ALOT of adjusting.
Yaay!!!!

Remember you have to train the new skill too, build the ship (because it's going to cost about 150 million day 1), then fear welping the ship because of insta lock sabre.
I want the gallente one myself. That one will arguably be the most difficult to balance.
Yaay!!!!

You may want to give that ship a bonus to probing.. Because it's pretty terrible. Asking people to commit a set of virtue implants (roughly 1.5 billion for a low grade and 2.5 for a mid grade), while flying a destroyer class ship with no cloak, no scanning bonus and worth 40 million isnt the smartest idea.
A 37.5% to a 70% (it's a combat scanning ship with no cloak) bonus to scanning would help a ton with it (tried it earlier with the mid slots filled with scanning mods and its a pain even to scan out a basic signature (actually failed to scan down a site, and anybody with eccm will be impossible to probe out with this combat prober, even with midslot scanning mods.
Yaay!!!!

I believe all sites currently on TQ are scannable with a right skill set from an unbonused hull and without scanning mods and implans (with a sister launcher and probes though). At least I have no problems scanning down combat ladars with an ishtar and rangefinding at 4, and they should be 1,25% band. As for the unbonused combat probes, I don't think you are supposed to catch slippery petes with that thing, and they are, as the ship class suggests, more of a tactical option to catch enemies MWDing around grid (thus you are dropping probes in a known position), not a way to seek and destroy unprobable tengus blitzing missions in low and null. According to my calculations, an unbonused sister launcher with sister probles should be able to scan down targets with signature/sensor strength greater than 3. For example, a linked 2LSE 2 field extender ishtar with MWD off has sig/str of about 4.5. A scimi without MWD should be from 3.2 (1 LSE) to 3.8 (2 LSE) if it has sebo instead of ECCM. With ECCM it becomes unprobable (with MWD off, again). AB armor logis are typically unprobable too.
You know instead of me screaming "bonus the ship" could we do some tests on it. I want to figure out just how difficult it would be to probe out some of these frigates in both thera and kspace in this boat. Without implants.
Nothing's unprobeable, but what you would need to probe some of this stuff isn't practical. This is nothing against dedicated probers, just more curious about unboused combat fit probing ships.
I'll try and test this with sole mobile depots and some abandoned frigates the next two days. Yea I could run the numbers but sometimes actual application matters more than statistical potential. If I'm wrong and I can wis around probing out frigates in these new frig holes, fantastic.
Yaay!!!!

Decided to try the combat probing in this hull. I can say that it doesn't need the scan bonus for scanning out frigates and above, but you do need some good scan skills.
Threw out a Dominix, a kestrel, and three different types of depots (basic, wetu, yurt)
Dominix lit up as I expected. The kestrel I had to go down to 1 au to pinpoint it (but I think I could have gotten that above 1 au). Mobile depot showed up. Yurt and Wetu were unprobable. I am assuming that any frigate with ECCM will also be unprobable.
As much as I would scream "OMG Unprobable!!", not many frigates and destroyers use them over other mods. Guess it doesn't need the scan bonus. The mobile depots will be annoying in the frigate shattered wormholes.
Some reference videos to the brief test.
