Not a supercap pilot, and not particularly interested in locking one of my alts in one either. Also, the nerd tears in this thread are hillarious. OMGGGG YOU KILLED MY MODERSHIPPP, OMG I'M CLOSING ALL MY ACCOUNTS!! You weren't flying Your e-peen pile of **** before anyway.
I do have to say though that the way this went through looks terrible. And I think the process goes like this :
CCP can't think of a way to make a meaningful ship out of it, so they give what the crowd wants. Looaaads and loooads of dps.
Crowd is nearly instapopping other capitals and is thrilled. Both ccp and crowed are very ****ed up.
CCP realises what they have done, probably checks out on how many MSs are being built around 0.0  , and freaks out.
So they do the worst thing they could do. Not sure if the nerf is bad*, though reducing an existing ship's value to the 1/3rd of its price, that people have grinded money, bought GTCs, worked their ass off to build just before these changes, that is not fun. If they wanted MSs to be another class, then wth man, either make new ships for supercarriers, taking another class and changing the name to an awful one was an unbelievably stupid idea anyway, and then apply your changes to the old mothership, or make a way for people to get refunded for whatever is that the reduced price will be, so even if someone doesn't like it anymore, he has a means to get his money back and invest it into something else.
* it may feel AWEEEESOSOOEMEMEMEMEM being able to solo two carriers or dreads in less than a minute, however, its also seriously ****ed up. You realise that with the old specs we would eventually be having 50 man SC fleets with an army of fighter bombers instapopping anything on grid. Carriers and dreads would probably turn to be the non-viable case of the past. But no, you didn't criticize them on that, they gave you your kewl tons of dps and you were "uuu yea baby", instead of demanding of them and titans to become what they should be and what their role is in any sci-fi setup.
