I see capital ships get a lot of hate on this board, why is that?

Well, I for one, love them for that very reason.

Because there are too many of them, and they support 10% TIDI node crashing gameplay.

because flying a capital is way less exclusive than it used to be.

Well that's a stupid thing to say. If anything, the barrier to entry of capitals reduces 10% TiDi node crashing gameplay in that fewer people have them and so fewer people will have them in system. Thus, less TiDi.

Simple answer... it's the flavor of the day. Tomorrow it will be cloaking again. Then null sec local. Then the stuff CCP is giving away. People just love to complain about anything and everything. Say something, people will find something to complain about. I'm even complaining. See? Lol

Capitals = Dictors on field = swaths of nubbins in Dictor swatting Ceptor fleets.

Well currently there is very little use of capital ships as a main fleet doctrine and the game has moved away from structure grinding in order to determine things like sov and such. Right now capitals are the last thing to show up on the battlefield due to how slow they are to project across the map. CCP will get around to them with a balance pass I'm sure.

Remember when capitals could traverse across the entire game map in ten minutes thus compounding the need to form super coalitions?! *shivers* Those were dark days indeed. I think we are better of with the numerous wars going on instead of just one where players would spend 6-8 hours in soul crushing TiDi don't you?

Capital ships get plenty of love. Just live-stream yourself ratting with a carrier, or announce that you are doing a level 5 in a carrier or popping a POCO in a dreadnaught and you will see right away just how much love your capital ship will get. People will line up for a chance to, er, love it.

Silly noob. They do better damage when firing on grid with a low sec gate.

Goons are mad. They believe that the proper way to win is to meta-game, and the N3 Carrier blob is pissing in their back pocket.

Well they are cool but it has nothing on what they can carry and thats a templar, an Amarrian fighter used by carriers.

The final yule gift this year is a carrier/super/titan (which you can fly with noob skills) for everyone, didn't they tell you ?

I am hoping I get the Revenant :D
