Reasons i won't warp a MoM to a fight.
1. There is a HIC present. Currently Motherships have no real way of dealing with HICs effectively. They are too small for the bombers. Without being able to field 20 fighters and 20 bombers and 80 heavies and 20 mediums and 20 smalls, you cannot guard yourself against HICs and trouble against dictors.
In the end if you warp a mothership into a fight and your side isn't winning, your going to lose your mothership no matter what your EHP is and you will have no way of getting out once things start to go poorly.
2. In a capital fight just about everyone has smartbombs. I like the HP of the bombers but they are still easy for cruiser gangs to kill, sniper fleets to alpha, and of course 100 smartbombs to annihilate.
3. Hp tank is good, but without a good way to kill HiCs or get away form them, it won't save you from a decent gang. If Motherships could rep more than 0.3% of their armor per rep then they might be able to survive on the battlefield a bit better.
until they have some decent escapability the MoM will continue to be a a very expensive gank ship. Maybe ill hotdrop and insta pop frieghters at jump bridges.

 Originally by: Arra Lith
No big changes are needed actually. For start just let people set password when storing ship in maintenance bay. To launch ship you need first write correct password - if it is set (and you better dont forget it :P).
Then introduce more manageable access rights - it should be possible to restrict access per single pos to single corp member. Different rights for different station office corp hangars etc.
For most 'dangerous' options and high valueable assets give high protection option - to eliminate that 1 hacked account (or infiltrated) can kill whole alliance. Ie CEO / corp director can do this only if x other directors are online and agree to this action - ie by message box similiar to start conversation (that is without need of vote system / shares and item lock-down as it takes too much time). But thats another story :)
They still haven't given carriers an ability to lock their own hangers yet; good luck getting CCP to change pos mod access that drastically. FFS its been years and people can still walk up to a cap in fleet and steal ****; rediculous.

So, if Citadel torps can be destroyed by smartbombs, can the compacts from the F.Bombers be killed also?
wait to see torps launch, activate smarties, all torps die = 0 dmg?

If your going to cut their prices by so much we should get compensation.
18bill - New Cost = Pay Out
or
Give out HIC, Maruader, and Black OPs BPOs since they weren't around during the lottery =)

When they first added bombers to test i tried them and even with 20 i wasn't overly impressed with their damage vs capitals. It seemed pretty balanced as it still took a while to kill capitals esp if they siege.

They need to get on test and modify SC damage with bombers to a point where they are happy that 1 or 2 SC can kill a dread in siege with a tank in X amount of minutes or seconds. Not this im going to change SC by this much just bc without actually modifying the damage to a specific point where they can accomplish what they are meant to accomplish.
Also take into account how hard/easy it is for them to kill HICs and BS. Not only with Bombers but also with Heavies and sentries.
