Currently the support fighters for amarr caldari and minmatar are hardly ever used. this is largely do to them not being worth 1/3 of a standard carriers DPS.


essentially the T2 support fighters are about as strong as a single T2 mod of the same type with the exception of the sirens who are 3x as strong and the cenobite II who are 2x as strong . while they do have the advantage of range the cost in DPS and the nature of capital fights simply does not make the trade off worth it. and the fact that they get weaker with each one killed just makes it harder to justify.

while i don't have the best numbers zkills stats show as such

Scarab II 40 lost

Dromi II 142 lost

Cenobite II 37 lost

Siren II 660 lost


one way i see helping this is to change the E-war range bonus with a strength bonus


Caldari Carrier

30% bonus to Scarab Support Fighter ECM streanth

Amarr Carrier

5% bonus to cenobite support fighter neutralization drain amount

minmatar carrier

2.5% bonus to dromi support fighter stasis webification effectiveness.



but it's 5 a.m so i could be dumb
