With the winter expansion coming along, we all know that the supercarriers will be getting a nerf. The Nyx, and Aeon will receive a 20% hit to shields, armor, and structure HP's, and the Hel, and Wyvern will receive 10% hits to shield, armor, and structure HP's.

One thing that I saw in the patch notes, was that on titans and dreads, the requirement for capital drone bay is being removed seeing as those ships no longer have drone bays on them. That makes complete sense. They are removing that part of the ship, so they are removing the components from the build requirements.

However, the part I am not quite understanding, is why the supers have not had a reduction in build requirements? They will have 10% and 20% less HP, which would mean (logically) that they would have 10% and 20% less shield emitters, armor plates, and whatever the equivalent for structure HP is.

If you are going to nerf the supers, then go for it. But reduce the build requirements as well. The build requirements were massively increased when they received the buff that made them what they are now, so it only makes sense that when they are being nerfed, so are the build costs.

Yes need changes, but not reduced requirements but increased building time against Supercapital blobs.
Need to slowing capital online games.
