Copy pasted from my post on Scrapheap:
Its nice that we can now get 5-6 billion isk coffins for our pilots... but that being side its just utter SHEIT right now.
10 fighters is the same as a max skilled carrier pilot, which a LOT of carrier pilots have. What is the advantage right now between having a supercarrier and a bunch of carriers ?
Carriers can be insured
Supercarriers can not
carriers can dock
suppercarriers can not
Carriers have 1.5odd K DPS (guessing with max skills in regards to what CCP Said at fanfest)
Supercarriers can do 5-6k now
Quick Excell warrioring states:
Supercarrier: 5Bil cost to build (Proper ME level etc etc etc
400 mil to fit
Carrier:
600 mil mineral cost
250 to fit
350 mil insurance cost
700 mil insurance payout
Lose 1 supercarrier:
5400 million isk loss (5.4 bil)
before you reach that amount on carriers (if we say your carrier isn't going to live through the first insurance cycle thus does not need to be reinsured)
Carrier 10 is a 5bil loss *
carrier 11 a 5.5 Bil loss *
*= Cumulative loss
so you can effectively lose 10 carriers before you lose 1 mom's worth
Now consider those 10 carriers when RR'ng can tank a lot more single DPS then the supercarrier can, have about 15k DPS as opposed to the single supercarrier's 5-6k DPS and...
ye
why the **** fly/build a supercarrier anyways

Hey,
We've made some further changes to super carriers after taking your feedback into consideration. It's quite understandable that the changes made were a disappointment to many of you, but I wanted to remind you that Singularity is a test server and all changes, even these are subject to change.
Compact Citadel Torpedo Changes:
- Explosion Velocity: 60
- Damage: 3200
Super Carrier Changes:
- Can deploy 2 additional Fighter or Drone per level
- Can dock at stations
Furthermore we're looking into solutions to reimburse current mothership pilots for the drop in construction cost.
That's all for now.
-Nozh
Surprisingly enough I can live with that...
that'd mean at 5 skills it can poop out 15 Fighters/Fighter bombers (yes 20 was nice but hey... can't have it all i guess)
Can DOCK ! (No more character imprisonment !!!!! )
tbh... I am happy to trade in the 5 baseline drones I just lost for the ability to dock... don't see what everyone else is getting riled up about any more to be fair.
they "only" lost 5 drones baseline, and where given the ability to dock... i'd take that change any day of the week tbh..

for all the "but won't someone think of the docking games !!!!" people:
how about CCP just implement a "rule" for super carriers that, since they are too **** up big anyways you can not dock them while you are being agressed (not WHILE you are agressed but as long as ppl are shooting you).
What that'd do is let them dock when everything is all calm and quiet
- No more need to pay upkeep for a garage character or imprison a character
- no docking game shenanigans, just keep shooting the dam super carrier and it can't dock anyways
- WIN/WIN
no ?

Jesus christ, you are all such whiney little trolls on here...
"but but... they will be USED !!!! on stations !!!"
yes so now you can actually KILL some instead of the motherships staying logged off in poS bubbles till we can bring them out on 100% SAFE ops because right now its absolutely retarted to field one if there is any threat at all on the field.
As I said before, give them a "debuff" that, because their size they can not dock while being shot at (so no station games) and all of the problems go away.
I won't be stuck in a coffin no more, nor need to pay for a garage character, I'll effectively get to use the bloody thing AND I can NOT play docking games.
