His question was about carriers.

You responded that supercarriers cannot be jammed.
…because those are the ones providing the reps. Thus, the notion that bringing along a lot of ewar as a counter falls flat.

He did not imply that carriers are overpowered because they can be repped by supers — just that ewar is not a viable option.


Interesting. Never seen that myself (at least, it's not common). When CFC got crushed by the giant slowcat fleet a few weeks ago (well, not just slotcats. titans + slowcats + subcaps) the Archons were most definitely repping eachother.

There were no supers repping them.

Maybe I'm being silly. I assumed we were talking about actual fights that actually happen....As opposed to hypothetical fights that have not happened.

Here's an example Archon fit from the massive 2700+ pilot fight in DY-P7Q a few weeks back.

I happen to see remote reppers fitted to it. Surprise!!!! Roll

Also, it somehow died. I thought that was impossible.

"A few weeks ago."
Yeah, because things can't change.
The reason for the supers now repping the carriers instead of the carriers repping each-other is because the CFC and co. have moved their ships outside of the drone control range of N3PL's carriers. N3PL adapted by filling all of the slowcats' high slots with DLA 2s, which of course means they couldn't fit any remote repair modules. The task fell to supers.
This is what they call the "wrecking ball" doctrine. It's been mentioned several times on the forum and both sides acknowledge it having been used.



SO THATS WHAT THE WRECKING BALL MEANS...

I live under a metaphorical rock and this explains everything

... Isn't everyone?

Personally, I think we should call our waterboarding doctrine the "achey breaky" fleet. Billy Ray is the best Cyrus anyway.
