Defacto not only the super accounts, but their support accounts as well. Imagine a supercarrier or titan like an Abrams tank. To keep a single Abrams operational and ready for battle it requires some ~50 people supporting. Obviously not as extreme for a lousy digital supercapital, but the concept is the same. You won't have a need for logistics toons to provide fuel/stront/etc, no more cyno alts, no more scouts, no more wormhole/ratting/incursion/mission -alts to make isk for those big babies and their blingy modules (eh, how much would you want to bling up your Ishtar anyway)

You may see a chain reaction... if it was up to me, I'd rather give supers a new and strategically important purpose, much like every other ship has one. Let them excel in their field just as other category ships do.

Anyway, I'm not too worried about it, nerf or buff either way - it may be a sign from Bob that it's time to spend the next decade doing something else :D



Well said.

Your statement seems at odds with the facts. "What facts?", you ask. Well, I'll give you the one metric I use on a daily basis. The Character Bazaar.

I'm seeing a lot of WTBs for Carrier pilots right now. So while some angry ragequitters may be unsubbing their Carrier accts, there's a line up of new accts waiting to jump in and buy these characters.

Net result on subscription numbers? No change.

EVE, as usual, is not actually dying at all.

When I got my Nyx, I bought it because I wanted a SUPER CARRIER, not a 30 bil links ship. Having a character locked into a coffin that cant do anything other than sit on grid and provide boosts is completely uninteresting and lame. Is that even worth paying a subscription fee for? Not in my eyes..... It goes like this, lets say I bought a sports car. The reason for buying it is because I wanted something that is fast, and is fun to drive. Now lets say the very next day that awesome sports car gets turned into a pickup truck. What am I supposed to do with a pickup truck? Thats not what I wanted when I first bought it.... Same goes for buying the Nyx.
