The formula for calculating missile damage.

http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=901280

Damage = Base_Damage * MIN(MIN(sig/Er;1);(Ev/Er*sig/vel)^(log(drf)/log(5.5)))

Where
sig = ship's signature
vel = ship's velocity
Er = Explosion Radius of missile
Ev = Explosion Velocity of missile
drf = Damage Reduction Factor of missile

"Compact Citadel Torpedoes"

Explosion Radius 3500m (2187,5m for Hel with Minmatar Carrier V)
Explosion Velocity 60m
Damage Reduction Factor 6,5
Base Damage 3200 (4000 for Nyx with Gallente Carrier V)

I did the calculations and here are the results for "Compact Citadel Torpedoes" with the current information given by CCP Nozh.

The targets:
Naglfar with 3x Lg CDFE I, In Siege, 1886m sig, 0m/s velocity.
Naglfar with 3x Lg CDFE I, Full Thrust, 1886m sig, 106m/s velocity.
Nidhoggur, Standstill, 2865m sig, 0m/s velocity.
Nidhoggur, Full Thrust, 2865m sig, 112.5m/s velocity.
Hel, Standstill and Full Thrust: No difference between standstill or full thrust. The same results are for all the Super Carriers and Titans as well.

Aeon and Wyvern against a Siege¦d Naglfar: 1724 dps and using 5 DCU 2299 dps.
Nyx against a Siege¦d Naglfar: 2155 dps and using 5 DCU 2874 dps.
Hel against a Siege¦d Naglfar: 2759 dps and using 5 DCU 3679 dps.

Aeon and Wyvern against a Naglfar, Full Thrust: 869 dps and using 5 DCU 1158 dps.
Nyx against a Naglfar, Full Thrust: 1086 dps and using 5 DCU 1448 dps.
Hel against a Naglfar, Full Thrust: 1456 dps and using 5 DCU 1941 dps.

Aeon and Wyvern against Nidhoggur, Standstill: 2619 dps and using 5 DCU 3493 dps.
Nyx against Nidhoggur, Standstill: 3274 dps and using 5 DCU 4366 dps.
Hel against Nidhoggur, Standstill: 3200 dps and using 5 DCU 4267 dps.

Aeon and Wyvern against Nidhoggur, Full Thrust: 1288 dps and using 5 DCU 1717 dps.
Nyx against Nidhoggur, Full Thrust: 1610 dps and using 5 DCU 2147 dps.
Hel against Nidhoggur, Full Thrust: 2158 dps and using 5 DCU 2877 dps.

Aeon, Wyvern and Hel against Hel, Standstill and Full Thrust: 3200 dps and using 5 DCU 4267 dps.
Nyx against Hel, Standstill and Full Thrust: 4000 dps and using 5 DCU 5333dps.

The calculations clearly show that 15 Fighter Bombers against a siege¦d dread do less damage than a regular dread in Siege, a Revelation deal ~4000 dps with 2 heat sinks...

The same against a carrier, less dps then a dread do. But against a xMom or a Titan will they do some nice dps starting at 3200 and the Nyx beats all with its 5333 dps using 5 DCU modules.

Conclusion; The new Super Carriers are intended to be used against Super Carriers and Titans.

Why shall we bring a xMom to the capital battlefield when it deal 50% less dps against a Dread then a Dread do?

Solution:
* +3 To all regular drones and Fighters per Carrier Level.
* +1 Fighter Bomber per Carrier Level.
* Reduce the Explosion Radius of missile from 3500m to 1500m.
* Increase the Explosion Velocity from 60m/sec to 75m/sec
* Increase the volume of the Fighter Bombers so a xMom can¦t bring to many to the battlefield.

This will allow the xMoms to defend themselves against smaller ships and deal dps on capitals, using lesser drones resulting in less laggy fights.
