TBH the most important rule is to put all the previous AT ship prizes with agravated points cost.
Most of these ships are so heavily unbalanced that they give a decisive advantage to whoever uses them.
No matter if you actually won the right to use them or not winning previous AT's. With the right connections you can have free acess to these hulls on a casis by casis analysis by their current owners. It already happened in previous years it will happen again.
CCP really needs to adress this issue very fast or you can pretty much start naming the finalists/winners in advance for this tournament and following.

I personally would support a flat 1 point increase for all AT hulls to reflect their increased power , but even this would mean that perhaps outside of the etana you would see almost none of them fielded.
I like uniquies in the alliance tournament , they add a lot of drama to a match and people do get really excited to see them used and to flat out ban them would be a great loss to the event
Not talking about ban them, no, but there are extreme advantages in fielding a etanna vs scimitar or Utus/Malices/Cambions vs their tec2 correspondents. At the moment in terms of point cost there is no diference at all, but we all know that on field that isn't true.
Drama is ok and desirable in AT's but in the end what people want to find out is, who are the best out there, not who has more isks/connections. Even if fieldding a AT ship is not any guaranteee of winning, it helps a lot. |

The strategy is simple really. If facing tougher opponents in series you risk AT ships until you are in a position to be on the finals.
Even if you lose 3-4 AT ships during qualifying you are playing to get access to 50 bpc's of that year tournament prizes, making the investment worth it. And TBH I'm fine with it, but knowing all these "tricks" CCP should really review the point cost of these ships. |
