CCP please, reconsider the last supercarrier changes

In my opinion, a very hasty decision has been made and only based on whines, not real facts, making a worse playing experience and not a true rebalance of ships.

Removing dronebay room only makes more tedious and boring the management of a particularly hard to manage ship. When CCP created the drone bandwith was with the only purpose of making this kind of situations less painful, as drones can be easily killed/lost. Forcing pilots to use the Supercarrier's corp hangar as a "fighter's store" only reflects this poor "rebalance".

With this changes, a carrier is way more flexible than a supercarrier, allowing more roles (remember, supercarriers can't even use triage) while a supercarrier is only a character hogging glorified dreadnought.

I like the part where you post this here, instead of in the capital balancing feedback thread.

um.. right, that's the whole point. One ship should not be an uncounterable pwn mobile vs all other ships in the game. Subcap fleets and dreads need to play a role in any fleet. The fact that you could use a SC/Titan blob for literally any situation was the whole problem especially combined with the logoff mechanics which are now also getting fixed.

This tbh

It's about time SC are a powerful tool vs caps/supers and not just a powmobile hotdroping everything in game.

They will still be useful and they will still be uber ships related to ships of their size but now you don't need a 200 SC fleet to counter a 100 SC fleet, you need a good mixed ships fleet and pilots to achieve your goal, and this single point IS awesome for the whole game.

SC should be powerful but not a solopwnmobile. With the new changes their only role is being anti capital, and having no spares (and being so hard to replace: 20 bombers = 100k m^2) makes them too easily "disabled" in battle, boring and useless.
