Well it probably would of been true without the jump change since you would be capable of helicopter dicking anyone's POS producing a super/titan.

Now it's not really the case.

Tell that to everyone else here.

Think about how epic this will be.

Currently supers act like old capitals.
People use dozen of titans to reinforce towers , they are safer than dreads ( no siege) , immune to ewar, and have tons of EHP.

There is no easy solution.
Best one ?

Remove all supers, nerf capital remote reps , negate ewar invulnerability , reduce EHP.
Every one know about this , but CCP don't move in this direction.

If we cannot manage current super capital numbers, that just grow - make them more available.
They cannot dock, and don't make them dock in citadels.

Small groups all around eve will get supers , start to use them in bigger numbers.

Look what nerft to jump range did in lowsec, capital super powers lose ships to lowsec people without a hope to save them.

And this will improve the game because?.. Dude, you are literally saying "less people will fly one of those 400 ships and more will start using that 1 ship and it's good".


I don't see how it's even related. So lowsec closet supercap owners started to log them in and dunk each other now that they aren't hotdropped every time... And that has anything to do with your suggestion how?.. Mind you, jump bridges were as suffocating for "small guy content" as dropping supers.

Your suggestion literally rides on some weird "coolness" factor. "Supercaps are cool, supercap battles are better!"
Well, I don't see it. Meanwhile, by lowering their price you promote usage of now cost-efficient powerful ship over many others, reducing diversity of the game and fleet battles even more. You still promote absolutely unfun way they are handled (as in: don't log in unless you want to do particular thing and nothing else) that also kills diversity of gameplay process as a whole.

What is there to gain at all? It won't close the gap between "big guy" and "small guy" (already covered), it won't diversify and improve gameplay, it won't do a thing expect creating terminal phase of "get most of your guys into FOTM ship"... So?

My personal solution to Supers as they stand is to refocus them as Capacitor Warfare boats. Them currently being EWAR immune repping machines makes them extremely hard to counter. However if they were moved to be more offensive than defensive they would still be useful and more of them would die. Basically remove/decimate their rep bonuses and replace them with Nuet/Nos range/amount bonuses. Maybe some cap transfer bonuses as well but make their offensive ability better.

The reason big, powerful corps and alliances have so many big scary things is simple: they have the organization and the industry to put that many on the field, and the skillpoints to fly them. Nothing short of one of these big corps/alliances falling apart will change that.
