Holy Crap I was only gone a couple hours to mail my tax forms and pick up Mass Effect 3!
In general support this blog.
I like the idea of removing tiers and rebalancing the ships based on roles. It would be good to be able to have more choices about what to fly and to see some of the lower tier ships get buffed.
So who's with me on training up all the racial ship skills so we can get reimbursed for all the new destroyer and battlecruiser skills we would need to have? Don't know if I would actually do that but wouldn't care if it worked that way.
So is the next plan to stream line the module system?
Where there are consistent progressions of primary purpose and fitting requirements.
So that we don't have some Meta 4 Tech 1 items better than Tech 2?
If you did that my suggestion would be, Tech one progress with both better stats and better fitting to highest meta level. Then Tech 2 has base Tech 1 fittings but better than meta 4 stats. Faction items are as good as meta 4 fitting and get as good of stats or have either fitting or stats better then meta 4 and get better at both as they progress, Deadspace get really awesome stats, and officer pretty much stay as crazy as some are today.
Of course I think you could do a lot with modules if you broke them up more into sizes in many categories.
But anyway, interesting changes, don't let the Inferno burn you to bad.

Apparently I've been doing it wrong and should have been using propulsion mods and nano-fibers instead of plates, resist mods and heat sinks.... |

For the reimbursement of skill points and to make sure you can fly today what you could fly yesterday.
1. I would hope to see that SP would be given out to all players so that they could fly at the same level any race's ship that they can today automatically. Which is what I believe you have stated multiple times.
2. As for Cap ship pilots whining about having trained BS to 5 when they wouldn't have otherwise, perhaps make an automatic petition category so pilots can choose to get reimbursed for those SP if they want.
3. And do the same for the miners who trained barges to 5 to get exhumers.
And for the first part above give us enough notice so we can all game the system equally and get extra free SP!  |

Actually: No, it isn't. If there is a problem with ships of a certain Tier being useless, then the answer is to rebalance the ships of that Tier. Very carefully. With as little intervention as possible. I see all Tiers of Battleships being used. So the answer to ships not being used is not scrapping Tiers and implementing an arbitrary line of ships that forces me to use a single ship with a single fit if I want to do XYZ. This is, in fact, so much worse than Tiers that it's not even on the same scale anymore.
Did you read the blog?
They acknowledge that Battleships have the smallest tier problem because the proportional difference of slots and EHP is the least in that class!
Where as for frigs, cruisers and battlecruisers the tiers make more that half the ships ridiculous to fly in combat or their current role.
