Again CCP just hoping to hold onto their new pubbie players by screwing those that have spent years earning their supercaps

I can't possibly keep up with this threadnaught but i'll do my best to summarise;

By removing regular drones you remove too much effectiveness of supercarriers against subcaps, which means there's even less attrition of them from being used in smaller numbers, which becomes too unsafe.

So these changes probably only push super cap deployment further into the super blob domain - for mutual security. And when you have 90 SC's drop 20 fighters each at the time your fleet is trying to enter system, it doesn't matter how many replacements they have, or don't have, because about 50% of the incoming fleet will blackscreen, and the other will get slaughtered. This happened in geminate, vale and trib more than once this year.

So generally, make them more gankable. Remove their ability to fit a cloak, make them much slower to get into warp, whatever. Reduce their EHP way more.

And make them vulnerable to ewar. this is the solution to SC's speedtanking sieged dreads (you can web them, and bring a new definition to hero rifter), and significant super blobs with distributed ewar on subcaps. Fine, give them super strong sensors so they're not automatically jammed up by 150 unbonused multispectrals or 2000 ec-300's, and whatever the numbers work out to require say 50 sensor damps to be useful. But this makes them into normal ships, with normal vulnerabilities. Why isn't this the correct course?

But I don't care that much, I'll take any nerf whether I think it's heavy handed or not, I've been on the receiving end of super blobs all year.

Thanks for not reading. \o
