I have a few questions about supercarriers:
- They are immune to electronic warfare, that means that if I attack a POS, the POS cannot scramble/web/jam/neut my SC?
- The only way to scramble a SC is a bubble?
- What is the real DPS of a SC? EFT says 4000 with 20 Malleus; is that a realistic figure for attacking a small POS?
- Drone damage augmentor seems to have no effect on Fighters or Fighter bombers, is there another way to increase the overall DPS?
Thanks

Tp's will effect dps (not against a pos tho), otherwise its just skills.

Neuts work against you

Hic infinity points will also work

1. Correct. Neuts still work on it though.
2. Bubble or infinite point.
3. Nyx puts out about 10k DPS, other SCs put out 8k.
4. Only thing that will increase dps is by adding Drone Control Units, which increases the amount of Fighters/Fighter Bombers you can deploy. This is a terrible idea though because you lose the utility.

Supercarriers can strip a PoS but not reinforce it. They can incap, which is putting it into structure so it offlines, all the modules outside the shield but lack a means to attack the PoS directly, since they cannot use sentries anymore.

Can they still take out an offlined POS since there is no Shield?

Yeah. Offline PoS are free game. No shields so the SC fighters can attack.

Afaik ECM burst effects supers, thats the only "EWAR" module that works on SCs.

They cant shoot POS any more since they dropped the drones (Sentries).

Nyx puts out about 10K deeps, the rest 8K, with FB/s vanilla, the only way to increase that is through DCUs.

not only is it chopping off a util high slot, but that drone control unit adds a single extra bomber (which will eat into your fighter space) and add a whopping 5% dps (400 dps on non nyx, 500 dps on nyx). which is pretty insanely small gain for a big loss.
