Well first of all. Stop calling them supercarriers. If you want that name to stick... let them dock. Afterall I didnt eject from my HAS(read HAC) and jump into my RNI(read CNR) You want to eleviate confusion... but it's only going to create eversomore confusion.
New ehp is pretty crazy. Damage just blinks off moms now. I really do think that will mean they are likely to jump onto the battlefield now... or rather stay at the battlefield sigh. I think that it will be essentially the value of commandships in rr bs gangs. Massive tanks that if the enemy shoots... they might just break it. However how many loses will they take in that fight.
Fighter bombers on the otherhand. Very nice. Ammo for drones :) compact citadels :) Perhaps something that might roll over to being used on the stealth bombers or new variant there of? the compact torps dont take skill to use. The launchers could be what makes the skill deal. Have a special launcher. WIN!
Fighter bombers dont win though. From what I can see. They orbit within smartbomb range. This is totally impractical. The reason carriers and motherships dont use fighters vs caps is because of smartbombs. Instead relying on sentries which are extremely weak and very limited in range. Where a mothership with 20x garde 2s does a weak 1200 dps.
Im not sure wat bomber dps is with 20 of them and proper skills. Id hope for 3000-5000 dps i think.
The problem though. Smartbombs beat on them dont they? So you're right back to the first problem. Make them orbit very widely. Like 25-50 km. Within range of dread drones. Very clear for support to pew pew; and far enough rr from carriers and moms cant get them.

IMO supercapital's need a balance to hic's.
3 hic's would be a fair infi scramble.
on a mothership or titan.
No. The point of hics are exactly this.
The only thing hics need a nerf on is sensor res. They can get boosted to where they are catching the impossible.

quick question, will supers be avalible on test for those of us with the required skills to test without direct ccp intervention?
Indeed. I cant fly a titan but id test out mom in things like lvl 5 missions if i could. Beyond the 2 days of all lvl 5. supercap available?

Seems fine to me. Even though I have major doubts about only letting moms use bombers (Bad idea, major bad idea Evil or Very Mad) you wouldnĘt want every carrier pilot to have them w/o any extra work. Besides, flying a SC w/o fighters V anyways just seems.... wrong.
Oh totally forgot that part.
Seemingly you can put them in carriers. With the limitation of either/or for fighters. you cant haveboth.. So i think it's good.
fighter 5 I just dont know. Fighters 4 will allow more death and destruction though.

So far only Titans should have the name Super Cap. SC should be remade into normal caps, dock able and cheaper (3-5 bil)
Not cheaper and not buildable in stations also.

Jumprange really needs to be looked at, if cal5 motherships could have the same range as cal4 dreads (currently like .5ly short) it'd make them a lot more appealing. Also, mothership infinite point module, please.
I wouldnt mind the jumprange change. I dont like the mom infiny point. Back when hics were in testing. I want another mom-titan to be the one holding them there. However now the moms/titans are far more offensive. I dont think it fits in. The big issue. Hics can be easily neuted out by titans and moms. The special part of the titan dmg bonus. They are far less likely to fit neuts. So it is a hictor boost in the eyes of supercap capturing.
Though someone should test how much dps those capital turrets and citadels can do to hictors. I can fly neither a hic nor titan atm.

They are not mommy's anymore so there is no reason they can't dock, the're not so big ! You must have a charater just to park it it's spimle crazy for Carrier tiers 2
This is what I was reading during the blog.
The simple fact is that this class of ship now stays mostly parked on trained alts and is rarely used as they are nothing more than expensive targets for hungry legions of Dread pilots.
It really does hurt because of this. Allowing them to dock would be a fix to this garbage.
