So are these cruisers the only t3 ship types? Will there be T3 Frigs, T3 BC or T3 BS?

Someone posted a powergrid stat of like 1400 for one of these in another thread. That's considerably higher than any unfitted cruiser currently in the game that I'm aware of. Relaxed fitting restrictions will help in further opening up the variety of setups for these, on top of the variety you get from the fact that the whole construct is modular to begin with.
Although maybe all that extra space is going to go towards keeping the tank up. It appears that while each race is getting very good resists against their primary enemy's main damage types, that there will be not one but two considerable resistance holes with these things that applies to both shields and armor. So your base resists in those areas at both levels of protection are lower than T1. Not sure how widely that will apply once all the components are finalized in the database but it's an interesting deviation from what people are used to regarding resists.

Thoughtful and articulate. +10 karma.
That's an intriguing observation. I haven't been able to get on SiSi to check out the placeholder stats, but if this holds true it should create a fascinating Armored Core-style incentive to really specialize your ship. You get the benefit of unpredictability from the perspective of other players with the drawback of potentially pigeonholing yourself with a particular setup that requires a carefully controlled situation to really shine.
Between that and the increased penalty for loss, I can see Strategic Cruisers bringing a more thoughtful and deliberate edge to PvP.

Yeah because you know, it's not like they made a massive speed and missile nerf change recently or anything.

I think those fittings were using oversized MWDs though.

When I last logged in there were only 3 modules per section and only a few propulsion and defence seemed to have genuine variations. I really like the idea and were its heading, looking forward to more changes as they come. But please don't nerf out my shield tanking, missile spewing, drone boat

Between shields and missiles, you got an uphill battle ahead of you as it is.

It's not like the stats were final in any shape or form...
