I know its been discussed a few times at fanfest but what about scripted doomsdays...
1. script - AOE but limited Damage 2. Script - Directed like it is now.
as I see it the AOE could clear out the large number of fighter bomber blobs in fights and support with no tank....
Discuss.

From what I can tell even the people who used/abused the AoE are generally in agreement that its a good thing its gone.
Limiting damage will do nothing unless its so stupidly low as to be worthless. The old one was what 80k? hardly a big numbers until they were spammed which it will be again but on a far greater scale due to Titan population being quintupled in the meantime.

Was 50k. DD change came shortly after Goons used about 20-25 titans to DD a carrier with the old AOE DD.

There are too many titans now. 20 in a big fight is common. 40 is not newsworthy. In those numbers, your AOE DD is going to pop BSes unless it does trivial damage.
The DD was supposed to be the answer to blobs. It worked too well once people could field 5 or more Titans. The focused DD was supposed to be the answer to capital blobs. It, combined with SC DPS worked too well. People just stopped fielding dreads altogether except for un-defended tower shoots.
FBs die to a well executed bombing run. There are relatively few well executed bombing runs, and when you have 100 SCs on the field, their target is going to die so fast that the bombers don't have time to come in and save them. That would still be true if you cut FB damage in half.
Bottom line, CCP screwed up with Dominion. They gave us these "next level" toys and with anoms gave the average grunt a way to finance one at the same time. Genie is out of the bottle now.

I was thinking even introducing capital smart bombs to help counter the endless number for fighter bomber blobs.
a smartbomb that does 800 damage up to 20km or something.

And conveniently remove anything smaller than cruisers as well as all dictor bubbles. Do you perchance produce HICs and trying to boost sales?
Add a defender missile that only fits in Hvy/Ham and larger that exclusively targets drones for above average damage .. there is your fighterbomber counter.

if Doomsday are to have AoE damage agin, they need to add something like a spatial rift that will prevent doomsdays to be used within the same grid within 30 minutes. ---
