A few quick updates:
Supercarriers will not be docking in Dominion. If this ever happens it will be the result of a very expensive infrastructure or outpost upgrade.
The Hel has had its hit points adjusted to reflect a primary shield tanking role.
All Supercarriers have had their base jump drive range increased from 4LY to 5 LY.
Docking: Plz don't just state "no docking" but instead motivate the reason (if U have anyone else than it seems hard for U to fix). And when that's done plz change your mind again, the ability to dock is a really good feature imo since being trapped in POS's is poop.
Size: As another thing I agree with those who wants Super Carriers bigger, perhaps not insane much larger than a regular Carrier, but so it's noticed there's something big on the field.
Active tank: Another VERY important comment imo; I'd like to see either an XXL-rep/booster for supercaps or an x00% effectivity to the regular capital reppers. Without that a regular carrier in triage get 4x more effective active rep than a Super Carrier, and the Super Carrier tanks will ONLY be about EHP, since active rep gives like nothing compared to that.
Implants: Since Super Carriers is REALLY expensive ships and EVE get's more and more a very deadly place for this behemoths (now with Titans/SC's who specilize in killing them also) the best way to go concerning implants should be to also make crystals make for shield tankers (or make an new Shield implant for HP-buff and make only crystals not work for capitals as it is).
Hel: A good move to adjust the HP on this.
I got a small thought about it's new bonus to fighters. Isn't it more in Minmatars style to get extra speed to their fighters instead of an resist bonus? Anyone is fine by me, it's just a thought.

I don't quote, but this is reply to xttz posts 339-340. First thx for good answers.
Docking: The issue of using supercaps defending stations I think is better solved by making SC's not be able to use modules/drones at station grids, in same way as Smart bombs are made ineffective to close to stations. I still want to see them able to dock, and think the problems with that should be solved instead of keep them unable to dock :)
Active Tank: I get your point but I still think a larger and 20 times more expensive ship should have better active tank, even if it's just a double bounus the rep-amount (or half cycle). The active tank will still be almost non-existent compared to the EHP. And I don't think it's really fair to compare the 700 million ships vulnerability to instapop versus a 15000 million ship. It's still mostly paid by personal players and not alliances. As always in such matters there could be valid arguments from both sides, but in the end someone (CCP) will have to weigher one more heavy than the other. Their choice isn't by any law the most fair or logic one - it's just the one they got stuck with at the coffetable.
Implants: I still don't think it's fair that one way of tanking should have set implants and the other not. This is much more so since the overall best tank is armor also - especially due to the amount of remote armor reps compared to the shield transfers. What damage mode in low-slots got to do in a topic about SC's I don't get.

In addition, pilots who take triage carriers out to support the supercarriers don't receive a benefit in return. Which leads to "Why am I sacrificing my ships and gameplay so YOU can have fun flying in your big ship?"
It really isn't much different than people flying logistics in sub cap gangs. Besides, a triage carrier supporting a mom is probably going to end up a lot more useful than a non triage carrier (which is really pretty uselesS) and not everyone can fly dreads.
That sounds almost as same thing to say as there really isn't much different in loosing a mom versus loosing a carrier. I have to say in both cases there is a BIG difference. First of all ISK-wise - second of all logistics-wise. U can't just pay someone 150-200 millions and get a fitted Carrier delivered or picked from the market with fittings.
