This, besides there's nothing that'll brighten your day like that big blue poof when you blow someone up (especially if you have a big monitor).
You don't PvP for profit, it's just a nice bonus, should you get any. I doubt that T3 will change this. |

TL;DR -> when you lose your T3 ship, all the accumulated experience is lost.
nothing to do with your pod's sp |

rly ? jebus, given how prohibitively expensive they will be and this nice little penalty for losing one.....will we ever see anyone use T3 ships as anything except hisec "look at me" cruise mobiles ? |

Edited by: achoura on 08/02/2009 00:59:42 Each of the five modules require a specific skill (i.e. you'll need 5 rather than 1 to fly a t3 ship). Since risking isk is too boring, when you go pop along with your isk one level of one of the five skills will be chosen at random and lost so yes, you die you loose sp. Aside from them being pricey initially, i'd say that's good incentive to pay up.
Conversely, it's wont get me flying one over my current recon/hac because if ccp do balance them well, there wont be any reason too. The idea is a ship you can strip down and refit to cover multiple situations/transport easily but breaking them down destroys rigs so that advantage is negated totally (i mean moving hacs is easy, we just don't do it because we loose rigs). The second problem is they're not ment to be more powerful than tii, so essentially you get this.
Two ships to choose, both have similar performance, both have similar cost. Loose the first you loose isk, loose the second you loose isk and sp i.e you loose time, the one finite resource in eve but more importantly, your life, which would you fly?
Either they have to be cheaper than tii to negate the drawbacks or proportionately more powerful but ccp dont want either so go figure (sounds like b.ops). Pvp wise there's almost zero incentive to fly one considering how frequently ships are lost. I mean why bother training a ship skill to 5, or even 4, if you loose the time/sp at the first bubble you meet, camp you run into or roaming gang, dd etc, etc.
3 types of people will fly these. Firstly rich types who want the new toys, thankfully despite buying isk they cant buy mre time/sp so realistically, you've got the edge the second you catch them. Secondly epeen, aka the idiots you find "pvping" through lowsec, same as rich guy but lower iq = isk. Third pve types which, considering how infrequently loose ships, seem the ones most likely to be drawn to them, lost of isk and low risk missions.
Frankly t3 (from what ccp have said) is simply not worth the investment over tii pvp wise. They sound more like something i'm going to spend ample time removing isk from, or killing but the former to begin with. If experience teaches you anything it's that right after someone get a new toy it visits a low sec system near you  ***The EVE servers and their patches*** |

They'll find more of their player base flying black ops that these but more importantly low demand = no reason to look for wormholes = waste of the new 50% system expansion (how many thousand systems?).
Despite that there are going to be twits with isk flying them which will almost certainly pay up when asked. The f u i'm rich respone won't work with sp

Does t3 apply only to ships? If so thats total crap besides ransom. If there was t3 loot that would be kinda cool to replace the worthless t2 ****.

If you LOSE sp when losing a ship - that essentially will keep me completely uninterested in them.
What a huge pre-nerf. 
Now I gotta find that info to make sure - and find a place to let CCP know this is a HORRIBLE idea.

I can already lose training time and implants when losing a pod. Why not just let you get podded when losing a T3 ship instead? Keeps the high grade implants out of these ships.

Aren't you speaking like a carebear now? A) you get to kill carebears in T3s that suck at it. B) You don't need to train the T3 subsystem skills, if you want you can opt to only train the T3 ship skill, and be fine with it. C) It's definately gonna be risk and reward, and I am totally looking forward to destroying those who deem me and my t3 a easy target.

If you dont like losing sp ofc u dont have to fly it. But i think there are quite a few people playing eve for some time now. The most fun many ppl i know including myself have is the thrill at flying something expensive.
Maybe some ppl disagree here but if you just died in ur hac buy a new one and rly dont care about the loss its getting boring. And they already said they will implement t3 based on the feedback given on the testserver, so its not in stone yet. [imghttp://img393.imageshack.us/img393/3425/sharinganzu9yn0.jpg[/img] |

Hmmmmm speaking like a carebear..... unfortunately they make clones so you dont lose sp, so why would you lose any from a ship loss
I like to specialize in the ships i fly, many pilots do this, so if i fly the ship im gonna want to have a good part of sp invested in the said ship. To lose that SP would be a waste of time on my part.
Lose a set of slaves......lose a faction ship.......big ****en deal.....lose sp......waste of time on my part. My opinion really and im sure plenty others feel the same. |

Unfortunately i dont think CCP will make it that easy, if this is implemented i thin kthe SP loss will be linked to the ship loss......who knows....
One thing is certain, if i lose sp im not gonna train for the ships or fly them for that matter.
In my eyes SP is the only true value in this game....

Actually it was confirmed that ejecting keeps your SP, as a boost to piracy rewards, where the pirate then can comandeer the ship (if he has T3 flying skills or a orca) :)

I see no change, at least for myself. I never pay ransom, and I won't even if I flew a t3 ship in to a pirate camp. If I did, the result would be the same, t3 or not. I pay, they kill me and laugh, I go away, they receive hatemail. Nothing has changed. |

Then you need to move m8, if that's what passes for piracy in your area. Besides, people who don't pay on principle (when they know that they actually will be released) tend not to be the smarts pilots in the game. Waste hours making even more isk back then wandering around putting another ship back together vs. paying less, saving time and keeping ship intact. -------------------------

Edited by: Madner Kami on 09/02/2009 14:27:40 Is there somewhere a voice record for what the CCP dude said? If yes, then you should listen more precisely to what he says, if no, then the following applies:
T3 ships will gather "experience" during their duty. If the ship gets disassambled/reconfigured, then the ship's XP/SP are lost. Same applies when the ship is destroyed. Logically, if you eject from your ship, it doesn't loose it's XP.
Also it's just a proposition without beeing a definite decission yet. Geez, cool down and be level-headed until Apocrypha is released on Sisi.

frankly this SP loss thing dosent bother me
1-5 days of skill training lost to fly a T3 ship? it really wouldnt bother me to pay that penalty. i can fly what i want to fly anyway.
plus iv seen no figures (note i havent specifically looked/heard of any figures) as to how much these T3 ships will cost. if theyre 100 mill, and IF you get podded loose like, 1-5 days of T3 learning (i say 1-5 cause, skills 1-4 dont take long to learn, and due to the loss, youd be insane to get lvl 5 unless your over confident)
frankly if your afraid of loosing a little bit of SP amung loss then your a carebear. the SP is only for the T3 ships, not like ur gna loose out for your other ships

I am pretty sure that it is the "experience" that you lose, not SP. If what I remember reading is correct, they are trying to bring the whole "crew" notion into the game, for RP'ers or whatnot. So when you lose your ship, hence you lose the crew, and the experience that they have gained under your command. Now you have to go out and buy a new crew, or enslave, and start over.
Again, this is what I "remember" reading with no regards as to how much I might have drunk either before or during that period. But I think that makes much more sense.

Edited by: Kaileen Starsong on 11/02/2009 11:25:56 Tbh, it's all about how good these T3 ships would be. If it's cruiser-sized platform with BC+ capabilities and some specific bonuses(like dual sensor types), then why not? SP loss is only meaningful for people who are pretty much generalized in their SPs, if you already can fly everything you need/want, there's not much point in SP total raising 
Alas, if they're kinda equivalent to HACs(as in, oh so dead when they meet pvp-fit BC), they would be kind of worthless.

I was about to add to the "T3 is failsause" sentiment and then it hit me. What reward could justify this risk? And I remembered reading some of those chronicles and seeing that super-weapon in one of the videos. Perhaps T3 ships will allow you to fit that bad boy. (For those who haven't seen it, it looks like an area of effect weapon the jumps from enemy to enemy.)
I mean there's going to have to be SOME reason to fly these things other than the "this is new" value, right? I bet that weapon is it!

Er. What sarcasm tags? Realistically speaking, you shouldn't use sarcasm in text-only communication, as it is not reasonable to expect people to get it when tone-of-voice is not available.
Sure, some people MIGHT get it, in which case you can sit contentedly at your screen, knowing that your witicism was not wasted; however, if someone specifically doesn't get it, its more your fault than theirs (for trying to use form of language which isn't supported by the transmission medium). |

How would losing SP bring back ransoms?
If you are sitting in a locked down T3 ship, and someone is demanding ransom, do you think for even one second he won't pop you 1 nanosecond after you wire him the cash, just to get a T3 ship on the kill mail?
Heck, you'd be lucky if someone even stopped shooting holes in your T3 ship to demand a ransom at all.
These days it's all about the kill mail. The sooner you realize that, the better.
Ransoms are a joke, and rarely ever honored, unless you fly something crappy like anything T1. -------------------------------------------------- "Every complex problem has a solution which is easy, neat and wrong!" |

Not true at all. I honor every ransom, although I rarely ransom inexpensive ships. But anything that is T2 or a BC or larger, I'll probably demand a ransom.

Yes, my name is Pompous. Yes, this has been designed for maximum deliberate effect. Well done for pointing that out. Well done you. |

Originally by: Matrix Skye You must learn to read between the sarcasm tags. I'm sure there are plenty of idiots that have sentiments along the sarcastic one I typed above. Do you happen to be one of them? 
Er. What sarcasm tags? Realistically speaking, you shouldn't use sarcasm in text-only communication, as it is not reasonable to expect people to get it when tone-of-voice is not available.
Sure, some people MIGHT get it, in which case you can sit contentedly at your screen, knowing that your witicism was not wasted; however, if someone specifically doesn't get it, its more your fault than theirs (for trying to use form of language which isn't supported by the transmission medium).

Win.
Originally by: Frenden Dax My heart hopes that people aren't that stupid, but my experiences thus far suggest otherwise.
