Hmm... pretty pi**ed about the bombers only being on moms. I mean really???? How are these supposed to break up dread blobs when they're only going to be used by moms? I mean perhaps make the carrier pilot choose between having fighters or bombers but not both, but to restrict them to only mom pilots just feels like a kick in the teeth. If dreads had a persistent threat of being bombed to bits by bombers it would bring smaller ships back into blobs which could track and kill the bombers. Just like in RL you have say a carrier in the middle being protected by picket ships keeping watch on the outside. Would mean people had to think about ship deployment instead of just dropping 50 dreads and not having to worry about anything. I got really excited when I heard there were new fighter type ships/drones being introduced to the game... but it just sucks now. How many people get to fly a mom ffs

It's too bad carriers will remain unchanged and I would like to see a small boost to carriers, make their drones repair themselves within their bays. It's odd that a massive ship with launching bays doesn't have a repair bay for the ships they are carrying unless they go outside.
+1 for that. As its a carrier, will have a flight deck with crew. Makes sense for fighters and other ships in the carrier's bays to repair at a certain hp rate per second/minute etc.
Would be nice for the Supercarriers to be able to dock... but they're so effin' big how would they fit in the station environment???

*Supercarriers are going to get new teeth in the form of the deadly new Fighter Bombers they can launch. Fighter Bombers have exactly one purpose: to destroy capital ships and look very cool while doing so*
Ok this looks really cool. A+ on the sweet look of the Gallente bomber. But my issue here is limiting them to S'carriers alone.
IÆm not suggesting let normal carriers be able to put out a max flight of 15 of them like a maxed skilled carrier pilot can do with fighters (only if they fill there highs with DCUs) but from what I have read they will require being on the front line to use.
With the current cost of MOMs(14b+) I just cant see anyone using them on the front line, not when they can just pos hug and sent 20+ fighters out among there fleet.
Here is what IÆm thinking. Since carriers are smaller they donÆt have the Best hangers and control units. So the new Bombers would take 3x the space and bandwidth of normal fighters to field. So a thanny would only be able to use 5 of them (375 BW) (75000 m3 in current drone bay) so it would make the pilot THINK about what he wanted to do. If the pilot took a full flight of bombers (5), He wouldnÆt be able to carry many fighters or other drones so it wouldnÆt be OP compared to SÆcarriers which would have normal requirements for bombers (25 BW/5000 m3) cause in my mind. A ship like the Nyx has the most advanced, up to date equipment and software there is.
I just donÆt want to see such an awesome new drone model wither away in dust in a mom drone bay sitting at a pos cause they are to expensive to risk on the front line.
Of course the bombers will still require a mom to be used to there fullest. But to be able to use them in carriers will not only make the carrier pilots happy. But the ppl who will be building them happy to. (More need to replace them as they will get used, and lost more)
I completely agree with this, pretty much the same kind of suggestion I was flooding my corp chat with last night . The fact that the "Supercarriers" will be toasted within minutes because of multiple titans arriving I can't help but think in the current form they will just gather dust on a Nyx's hanger deck  .

Is it me, or do you guys see this new focused DD becoming a tool for putting POS's into reinforced in super double time? Imagine it if you could just drop 4 or 5 Titan's onto the grip next to an enemy POS... boom boom boom boom jump out. POS is stuffed before anyone can even lift a finger.
