This is to prevent T3 becoming the normal PvP Ship in EVE. Believe it or not, T2 was not supposed to be the standard fit. T2 was supposed to be elite making ships better but the losses bigger.
They do it this way so that the risk/reward aspect they love is in play. Yes you can make your T3 ship a huge DPS machine, but the risk is, if you get killed, there's a hefty price to pay not just in isk.

What is the deal about losing SP when you lose a t3 ship?
Doesn't that defeat any pvp purpose of t3?
This just in: Eve is about risk vs reward.
This just in: Moos/rpgs/adventure are about advancing your character not digressing it. A developer who comes out and tells its customers it's actually created a way for them to level down their character, can hardly be surprised it's received badly.
LOL that is not true in any sense. FFXI is still a popular MMO and when you die you lose XP. The only solace is, that these are regained not only by a time base, but dependent on how many NPC's you can kill to regain that level.
With that being said, if you forget to update your clone, you lose SP too. so they have effectively "created a way for them to level down their character". People live with the fact that it's part of the game and you better be prepared. Same thing with T3 ships. You better be prepared to lose SP and your ship when you un-dock.
Lastly, no one is making you fly T3 ships. If you don't like the mechanic, don't use it. The rest of the game is still in tact.

If your ship gets blowed up and you dont eject you randomly get ONE of the skills reduced by ONE level post death:
You're sure about death affecting only one of the subsystem skills? If that's the case, training them all the way to lvl V might be worth it.
I confirm this. Only ONE subsystem skill is reduced ONE level.

lmao, this is great.
Besides already building on one of the HARSHEST death penalties in all of MMORPGs, now T3 is going to be suited more towards the older players (who have implants and learning skills up in order to train those lost skills back faster).
Good job CCP.
Great work.
So what? plus these skills are lvl 1 skills!!! for an un-implated pilot lvl 1 is what 15 mins? 20? any new pilot isn't going to have the iskies to fly T3 ships anyway.
Edit: you could also say: "Way to go CCP, T2 ships are only for veteran pilots as new pilots can't afford them yet."
