First off i would like a dev to sticky this if possible, its a viable option, and i don't want it to dissapear like all the other posts i have made...

Supercarriers

Drone bay can only hold fighters and fighter bombers.
Reduce Shield, Armor and Hull hitpoints on all Supercarriers by 20%.
Reduce drone capacity.
Aeon, Revenant and Wyvern: 125000 (25 total Fighters + Fighter Bombers)
Hel and Nyx: 150000 (30 total Fighters + Fighter Bombers)
Remote ECM Burst: Does not affect ships that are immune to electronic warfare (Supercarriers, Titans, Triaged Carriers and Sieged Dreads)


A ship with immunity to EWAR should not have the ability to use ECM, also the sig res change on fighters affects carriers as well, and the same problem remains, super carriers can jump out when they get into a bad spot, so what if there fighters can't hit regular ships? they only need to ECM & kill the hics/dics with fighters/ support and they are gone. best solution would be to get rid of Projected ECM period, as ECM makes those ships way to comfy to fly.

Dreadnoughts

Remove drone bay from all dreadnoughts.
Siege Module I: Boost damage bonus from 625% to 700% to compensate for loss of drones.
Siege Module I: Duration time reduced to 5 minutes. Fuel cost -50%.
Moros: Remove drone bonus.
Moros: New bonus: 5% bonus to Capital Hybrid Turret rate of fire per level.


Regardless of the siege mod and the damage change Dreads have been nerfed, and will continue to collect dust as they can no longer handle small ships...

The best solution to fixing the problem with carriers and dreads collecting dust would be to give ALL combat Capitals IMMUNITY to EWAR, or remove immunity from all combat capitals.

I prefer all cap ships have immunity, everyone would start bringing there caps out to play again, people would take risks more often. = more money for CCP, and more fun for everyone else.
