I said this at the CSM summit and I'm repeating it here: while I understand the desire to keep a Moros from raping any subcap to get closer than 60km with drones, making it rely on sentries in siege to even come near the dps of the other dreads makes it by far the least desirable dread. Its only saving grace was it's ability to fight off subcaps out of siege but with that gone it's just going to be one more class of ship where Gallente is the worst.

supercaps arent intended to be solo pwnboats, but with triage carriers around you can ensure that your supercaps would make an awful primary target

They haven't changed ANYTHING to do with a moro's while it's in siege.
There was no point in putting a moros on a hostile pos if you didn't siege it. There was no point in putting a moros on hostile caps unless you sieged it.
Now : You have Drone bonus, you drop it on POS, siege it, you get weapon bonus
Future : You drop it on POS, siege it, you get weapon and drone bonus
You do the same damage, have the same things happen, in both situations.
Stop acting like they've removed the bonus.
here's why the Moros sucks: the 1000mm railguns do less damage than other dread turrets. This lower dps is supposed to be offset by the drone damage bonus, but drones can be popped and have short range. HOWEVER, the drone damage bonus was pretty cool out of siege because you could own dictors or any subcap with drones. Without the option to bone subcaps out of siege the moros loses its versatility and becomes functionally the same as the other dreads except doing less dps and being handicapped by drones

Furthermore, yes I used to fly a moros before I put that pilot in an erebus and yes I remember pos gunners popping my t2 sentries, which not only cost me bux with every siege, but also handicapped my dps. I also rememeber capital fights at about 70km range where my drones couldn't do anything. I remember drones bumping caps around when they were deployed, I remember my sentries appearing so far away I had to abandon them because it would take 10 minutes to scoop. But I also remember killing a t3 cruiser with ogre II's (that was pretty sweet), and dictors with flights of small drones

Generally a good blog there a couple of questions though.
I would say the hit point increase which CCP is saying is "respectable" needs to be more like "generous", CCP should really be working along the line of making a Titan be able to tank lets say 40 dreads in siege for quite some time, as with the proliferation of Dreads in the game now being hotdropped by that kinda force coming down on it is quite feasible. Maybe add some kinda repair bonus for the titan? Or a resistance to capital sized weapons? As I said if you're not gonna do that then make the HP to be along the lines of a large pos cos anything less and you're gonna increase the titans survival time by minutes not the kinda time necessary for help to get to it.
I would also give a repair bonus to Motherships too along with their hitpoint increase, they need something extra on the defence front for certain.
Good move on the Moros, leaving Dreads and Carriers as they are is a good move too
But I gotta say CCP you guys are gonna ruin your reputation if you carry on like this, you actually do generally seem to see the problem as the majority of us see it this time! 
a titan, by itself, against 40 dreads? yea there's no situation where that titan shouldn't be completely boned. A titan tanking 40 dreads but with a half-dozen triage carriers repping? That's more reasonable.

im glad the mothership moniker is going away because "mom" is the dumbest nickname for a ship ever. Also anyone who ever fit a triage mod on their mothership is stupid and if you really want to spend 10 minutes frozen in space i'll gladly drop dreads on your self-tackled expensive supercap. That change should be a no-brainer

Supercarriers as a name didn't bother me but if I had to suggest alterntives I'd rename existing carriers "Light Carriers" and motherships "Heavy Carriers"

This will probably be called a horrible idea. But I think a doomsday should get a massive damage boost, and affect all ships in system, not just on grid. It should be strong enough to eliminate even caps. The drawback is that it self destructs the Titan. So it is an awesome weapon that can only ever be used once.
Jihadswarm would love this one. Could only imagine local lol
