CCP have already taken this idea on board, no further need for this thread.
Sure there is. The more people ***** about it, the more likely it is someone will do something.
CCP cares... right?

Yet they are harder to probe than CS's (smaller sig radius, higher sensor strength). Also, if you put ECCM on them, they become virtually unprobable for anyone without a faction/t2 probe launcher, faction probes and max (or near max) probing skills.
The problem with T3s is that, due to offgrid boosting, and their being really agile and hard to probe, they encourage use in conjunction with small fleets / solo setups, which leads to weird, gimmicky setups using the single bonus. Ever tried to fight a Thrasher or Vagabond that's receiving a Loki speed bonus?
Swapping CS and T3 bonuses won't do much. Changing boosting to only work on grid would do a lot more. Fewer people would risk T3s, preferring tanky CSs instead, and leading to far more easily-counterable boosting ships (and a nerf to gimmicky boosting setups, particularly in lowsec).

And yet I doubt that, if I brought my Cheetah along with a gang, I would be able to catch the Heretics' boosting Loki in Amamake (if I can even probe it out with my skills). I'd be able to catch a Claymore far more easily.

You really need to stop undercutting people's theoretical arguments with actual evidence one of these days. It's annoying and not in the spirit of the forums.
