Hey,
The changes on Singularity now, are intentional. The drone control units are however broken at the moment, and are being fixed.
Intentional.
I think you missed the definition of intentional. You must be confused or something.
ûadjective
1. done with intention or on purpose; intended: an intentional insult.
You couldnt on purpose make something do 1/3 the damage for no reason when pretty much everyone agreed that it was pretty damn balanced.

Super carrier build cost, reduced by 40%. Estimated build cost around 5-6bn.
So anyone with a mothership now or in the near future. Automatically loses billions of isk. Because you say so?

What we want to create is an anti-capital ship/role, which is more effective than dreadnaughts against moving targets. They can currently reach 7200 DPS (9000 DPS on the Nyx), provided they are fitted for damage and are being supported by fellow pilots. To put this into perspective, the old motherships used to deal 2000 DPS, 2500 DPS (3125 DPS on the Nyx) with drone control units, additionally they've received a huge hit-point boost
1. You had an anti-capital ship/role. The motherships were balanced well. You just nerfed them. They certainly wont be used as anti-capital now because sov 4 invulnerability is disappearing relative to this? LAUGH.
2. Also wtf is a mothership "fitted for damage" Are you creating some new modules that bonus drone damage?
3. "additionally they've received a huge hit-point boost" . Wait 40% cheaper and how much of a hitpoint boost? Or do you speak of the previous hp boost? If that's it? HAAAAH talk about a ship that'd never be used.

The main advantages everyone seems to be overlooking is that Super carriers don't need to commit to a battle like Dreadnaughts nor do they have to be stationary while dealing damage, and of course the fact that they're immune to Electronic Warfare.
So fighter bombers are going to become assignable? Because before they were not assignable. Meaning they DID need to be commited to a battle. Immune to ewar is meaningless when dictors and hictors are so common.
Quote:
By fitting drone control units, pilots are increasing their damage potential greatly while sacrificing survivability. It becomes a hard choice, but being capital ships, they should reach their maximum potential when working together as a team.
Tell me. As you have access to those magic snapshots. How many motherships have drone control units fit?
Also the factor that you just epically nerfed the number of all the other drones. That's just stupid.
As a carrier pilot who dabbles with motherships on sisi. I can assure you. These changes are terrible.
Also. In b4 warning/ban from forum for giving my opinion on the forum.
