You know, I really liked combat the way it was. Fast paced, strategic, energetic. Got my pulse
up every time. Nothing could be worse than for long, drawn out tanking wars. YAWN!!!

CCP had honed the balance of the ships and mods over the years, coming pretty close to perfection.
(Expecting whiner flame after that statement). Now they're tossing in such major changes to combat, it's like we have to start all over again.

Personally I'm abit worried. I have alot of expensive ships in my hangars, that I really like flying
but with all that's going on I'm expecting the value of 'em to drop like nothing we've ever seen.
Why should a t2 ship have less rigs and less HP increase than their t1 counterparts? They'll be equally tougher? Sure, but people are paying 300m for a vagabond these days, they get 25m from the insurance of it. Shouldn't it be a little tougher than a couple of t1 cruisers? Not to mention that
the invention career is gonna deflate all those assets people have been storing up.

Same goes for the faction battleships. You've introduced tier 3 bs's. Now raise the faction battleships above those. They're the rare, hard earned ships that people have been paying billions of
isk for. Don't devaluate that.

50% hitpoints increase? 50% on extenders and plates? Easier access to t2 equipment? Sounds to me like
CCP are catering to the "casual" players that didn't have the resolve to play the game the way it was.
Why don't just introduce a magic healer that'll restore your ship with 10% damage to structure, and a 10 minute reconstruction disease. Welcome to carebear heaven :(
