But you do get more tank for your gank than the other dreads when you get the support you need, so hardly a bad trade...

Really its only titans and power projection that is still broken.
Supercarriers lose tank to fit DPS but in turn now have a fighting chance to peel of tackle with fighters thanks to the recent changes. The shield supers are even more viable now than they were prior to the change since they dont have to sacrifice tank for DPS, instead they can sacrifice tank for utility mods like painters or Omni's which the armor caps dont have to worry about.

Carriers themeslves are balanced because triage is great, but alone solo triage your very easy to kill. and even when you get into 200 man pantheon / slowcat setups they can still die despite the RR to alpha. ( takes about 12-18 Swaglfars with artillery to volley one into DEEEP structure. and while fighters may be giving the carriers 1.2 - 2.2k DPS the fighters can still be firewalled or otherwise killed to gimp DPS.

Now titans are broken because what they were meant to be just never happened, and im not a titan pilot myself so i have No idea how to fix them.

After that its just power projection, because right now a super fleet can traverse new eden in 10 minutes to back someone up. My idea would be jump drive cooldown timers that cannot be reset by docking, about 5-8 minutes which means you have to jump in, cap up, and either dock the whole fleet or regroup and protect your supers while you wait for the next jump. Sure for solo carriers that use them for logistics and ship moving its a pain in the di*k to wait another 20 minutes to go 3 jumps to market for new ships but in the long run i dont see much else working.

You can spike fuel costs but that just slams the little guy whou now has to buy even more expensive fuel while major blocks just dump ISK on it like pocket change.

You could make them go through gates, but then you have caps in highsec where they dont belong. ( imagine war targets with nuetral triage or anti-freighter blap dreads on station ) so thats out

You could give cynos a spool up time, but this just makes low sec impossible since people are going to pop your cyno long before it charges which hurts the low sec alliances and jump freighter pilots more than helps null.

So I really don't see another viable option here, unless im still thinking inside the box.

The blap mechanic is just high tracking, which gives up tank or DPS to fit that way a normal Anti-cap dread cant hit subcaps well at all even if theyre webbed because of the tracking, the second the phoenix fires if your in range and not about to outrun the missiles your getting hit every time. If you get webbed or painted it gets even worse i was on the test server in a navy scorpion with links and crystals, and i had almost 90% resists across the board cold. I got shot once while moving by a phoenix in siege and it dropped 72% of my shields instantly.

Now with 2 ASB's it wasnt hard to rep back up but just as i did it fired again and once more i was in low shields and now had subcaps landing on me for DPS too. I died but i never once was painted or webbed, i was always moving and had an AB on as well. Which goes to show just how powerfull the phoenix can be

That would actually be in-line with Amarr and Caldari ships getting resist bonuses. I like this idea.
