I'm sure we all remember the Super carrier nerf, or Mom nerf,

my question is, how many players miss the old part of supers, that could launch lights meds heavy sentrys, elctronic warefare etc type of drones.

Would haveing these drones re added to Supercarriers, allow for seeing more supers used in pvp rather then just the odd times to kill titans and other capitals?

Would it increase, the loss of super capitals.?

If this is indeed our sandbox or the future is ours shouldnt we atleast get a say on if we want to re add what CCP took away ?

i dunno about any of you but i miss being chased by light drones from a super, it made eve alot more fun in my eyes, when you see a super launch 20 hungry T2 Lights.

When a fleet of supercaps can sit and blap everything, we have a problem.

That problem was solved and you want to unsolve it?

**** no. Players are the last people to ask how to balance a game.

De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

Hardly. Ever seen a fighter bomber trying to track anything smaller than a battleship? Even then it'll be poor hits. And if a bomber tries to hit an armour battleship doing more than 1m/s, forget it. While it's possible, it's not easy. The subcaps get way more time to kill the supers.

Flying a ship you can't leave never made since to me. I don't expect anything else about supers to make sence.

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

Since you're not making any sints (New Zealand accent), I don't believe you don't have the sense to make cents.

It seems to me that space superiority is the point of a supercap. Rather than nerf them into a meaningless state, the proper corrective action is to deploy a weapon specifically to defeat it. A crusier class stealth bomber, maybe? Or, a long range super cannon?

Are you referring to the Mobile Jump Gate class of ships?

op should appreciate the amount of effort coward goons put into rigging two csm elections to get a supers nerf so that he could have the luxury of waxing nostalgic of the game super caps online

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Also, no.
