Okay so the CBCs got their long overdue rebalance which are starting to make their T2 brothers redundant. So CCP, I really hope you intend on giving the Command Ships the same overdue treatment soon. Otherwise, their usefulness will further deteriorate even more than it already has as their cost continually escalates.

It probably has to do with on grid gang links. They're not going to touch A because it's loosely connected to B, which itself is still waiting on chances to C because they HAD plans for D but those got iced as the art department hadn't done its part yet.

I'd guess after they announce and implement their plans for the capital ships and what roles they can have in a space filled with citadel stations and entosis link gameplay.

well, what about its combat part

can it get 25% bonus that all CBC now have?

Well they already have a range bonus (except Abso, which needs a complete rework) so I was thinking something along these lines.

Command Ship Role Bonus
Can fit 3 Warfare Links
70% reduction in Medium Micro Jump Drive reactivation delay
100% bonus to Cap Boost Injected Amount

Only buff command ships need is a change to off grid boosting :D

While changes to OGB might hopefully eventually happen at some point or not in the near distant futureGäó, I actually hope it's a lot more creative than simply bringing links on grid.

edit: probably shouldn't have even mentioned that tbh. This is a thread about Command Ships, not links.

Im confused didn't they JUST get balanced like in the past year?

They can't buff them too much, else they'll be the best ships in the game.

Not the best, but considering their lengthy training time and status as T2 BCs, they should be one of the best sub-caps ships in the game.

I love how all the people who don't even fly the ships have all these great ideas about how to "fix" them.

And by love, I don't actually mean love.

They are already good, it's other problematic ships that are causing the issues.

I fly both both the Sleipnir and Astarte Einstein. Get a clue before posting rubbish.

Command ships are so bad it's funny.

I've got command ships 5 and near perfect skills and I'm still not going to touch one with a ten foot pole.

The Sleipnir is the best CS at the moment because XLASBs. If it wasn't for that one module the Sleipnir would be in horrid shape like the rest of the CSs. The others need cap badly (especially the Abso) so CCP needs to either buff their cap recharge or give them a cap boost inject bonus. Additional cargo space would also be needed since the Sacrilege have a bigger cargo hold then any CS. A MMJD bonus falls in line with the Marauders T2 role bonus and would solve the limited mobility issue CSs has.

I don't know who created the idea of the T3C, but it looks like the current CCP develop staff wasn't the ones behind it's origin. But due to the T3Cs popularity and close ties to WH space economy, it looks like CCP are up against a wall as to what to do with them. If they remove them from the game like you want baltec, It could lead to disaster. CCP isn't going to take that risk right now, given the already shakey PO situation so I wouldn't hold my breath. I would rather see another higher ship class meet (or slightly surpass) the T3Cs potential instead, namely the CSs.
