Remove the "Tier" system that cripples frigates, cruisers, and battlecruisers.
Rebalance them so they are a viable alternative to the highest tier ship in its class (e.g. Rifter/Rupture/Hurricane). |

God...this again? There is nothing wrong with the Tier system. Some ships are better than others. They just introduced Tier 3 Battlecruisers...
Get over it.
Hell...I don't even pay attention to the Tier system. It does not effect my decision to use a ship. A ships stats and it's usefulness in combat does. EvE is not about PvP.-á EvE is about the SANDBOX! - CCP!-á Open the door!!! |

What the hell does tiers have to do with balance?
Tiers are labels..they accomplish nothing but categorizing the ship..and the majority of them don't indicate strength as it is.

I agree that the tier system should be updated a bit, they have already changed the ships so tiers doesn't match much. Best example is the cruisers. Each "tier" of cruiser has a role, but role should be enough define the cruiser.
Amarr Cruisers - Maller, the tank ships - Omen, the glass cannon - Arbitrator, the e-war ship - Augorere, the support ship.
Frigs follow this a bit aswell, with a prober ship and an interceptor ship. I would like for CCP to primarily define the ships on their roles. An Augorere doesn't have to have bad slot layouts,hp,speed and so forth, because it's a tier below Omen, its slot layout should match its role. I think it would be perfect for the Augorer to have bad sensor strength, so easy to jam and adding a weakness. Instead it should have CPU/Grid/Cap enough to fit and run 3 or 4 medium cap transfers. Specifics is not the idea here, just concept.
Frigs could fulfill these roles - Scout, a probe ship. - Interceptor, for tackling - DPS, frig DPS is good
Battleships - Sniper, the Apoc fits this role nicely - Cannon, Armageddon could fill this role. - Brick, Abbadon should fill this role, if it's damage bonus was change to a cap bonus (no, not a suggestion, just an ilustration)
Destroyers remain anti-frigate but Battlecruiser I don't really have interresting roles for. Could be just a tank and a spank, kinda like they are now.
Tanks could also be speed tanks, so Minmatar remain speedy but with lower hp. The phoon would be the Minmatar brick, in it has a lot of staying power through speed. Then CCP could introduce Tiers within each role. So you could have a 2 "Apocs", one slightly better than the other but also more expensive. Not the best example, but you get the idea.
Hope I got the concept through, I know it would require a lot of work but CCP are already halfway there. |

This needs to happen. All that's important are the roles. I'd rather die in battle against a man who will lie to me, than for a man who will lie to me. |

When was the last time you saw a heap of Hyperions in a fleet?
Now, when was the last time you saw a heap of Domi's or Megathron's in a fleet.
My guess is you're having trouble with the first one whilst realising it's a Tier 3 BS.
EDIT; When I really think hard, I can't find a reason why a silly 'Tier' system would cripple another ship. It's really just a state of mind. |

Tier matters, take a look at PG/CPU, even the number of total slots can differ.
