Just reading the last few pages I have to agree with most of the posters, the new changes aren't very well thought out in terms of repercussions.
What it does mean is that if I sell my Dread and my carrier then grind alittle bit I can have a Wyvern before Christmas...and if I lose it (which is why I never really invested in one before cos replacing it would be a pain) I can spend a month or 2 getting the isk for another. And it can dock which means I can go do level 4's in highsec at no risk in my faction Golem with the same character then if I want to play docking games in OMS or Navula I can.
Win for me I suppose 
Keep supercapitals for those with holding alts, don't let them dock!!

They say they want to make an anti-capital ship...ok! But if that's the case take away its remote rep ability. That would solve the problem of them sitting on an undock of a station making it impossible for an opposing force to reinforce it.
If you want a support ship, then take away fighter bombers.
If you want a support ship that is also an anti-capital ship, reduce it EHP so it can be killed.
Estimated 9000 dps? Then any Dread that goes into siege if there a group of supercarriers/carriers around is dead unless the dreads out number the carriers, 5 or even maybe 10 to one.
All alliances are going to do is tell all their capship pilots to sell their dreads and carriers and buy supercarriers as they will be the only capship worth having, plus maybe a couple of Titans. They will be practically unkillable if they are on a station and in a group. Unless one gets caught without any support coming for like an hour off station no BS or below gang will stand a chance of killing it.
Oh no half decent Alliance will ever lose space now...0.0 will become stagnant and even more full of carebears. Like The Mittani said 30 moms in the first station hit and its invincible.
Hey Goons, you once said you wanted to ruin the game for everyone, CCP beat you too it...
But if it stays like this I will have a supercarrier before Christmas and I will be playing docking games in lowsec without a support fleet  bring on the Dreads, bet I can kill a few before I have to dock even if there are 20...

Fighter bombers orbit outside of normal smartbomb range right? So seen as supercarriers are gonna be anti-capital killers give dreads away to defend themselves against them. All dreads get an extra high and a bonus to smartbomb range at least that way they can fend them off.
Or give dreads a bonus when hitting supercapitals...like 100% damage bonus against supercapitals so they can at least match them for damage.
I always though the role of dreads was anti-pos and anti-captial...carriers and moms were support and defence...titans were just anti-everything else...so why do you need to create another class of ship which blurs the lines between to types when we already have a class of ship for that. And now with pos's not being so vital to alliance life dreads are gonna be pretty much useless, can we please also get a refund on dreads at the same time as supercapital pilots do?!
What is the role of the dread now CCP?
