They got a massive buff in the form of fighter bombers and an almost absurd EHP boost, then they took a relatively minor nerf that reduced their EHP and removed the ability to use normal drones.

The more important difference is actually a universal change to logoff mechanics -- you will no longer log off when you have an active aggression timer, so you cannot save a supercapital by turning off the game.

simply means i need to have a falcon alt with me whenever i fly it now
i only ever used it in small gangs most people will flame but its my game to do as i wish

i though all ships stayed in space for 15mins if they were aggro'd is the supercaps different in some way ?

Now it's 15 min from the last time you get shot, rather than 15 min from the start of combat. Since anyone can probe down a supercap in under 15 min, you can no longer log off and expect your supercap to survive.

Most people agree. It's one of the more popular changes in Crucible. Welcome back to the game.
