It makes no sence to me to tune th dps down. One might argue that allainces could bring 25 moms to dominate battlefields, but the next day a smart fc has asquad of stealthbombers declawing those moms, or some snipehacs taking out bombers.
Their dps has a counterpart, but what good are they if they do no more dps then a dread?

so is CCP gonna reimburse me the 6 billion isk difference? I finally built one specifically for the new role and loved the looks of it....now you completely nerf it to be worthless again and on top of that are reducing build cost by 50% and expect us to praise you? anybody got a link to the new Star Trek Online game? I think it's time to leave EVE and find a new game.
Hang on
You got a ship built because of what it was like ON THE TEST SERVER
The very same test server which is well known to be for the testing of POSSIBLE new game features
You looked at the thread outlining the changes which was PLASTERED WITH DISCLAIMERS SAYING PROPOSED CHANGES WERE NOT FINAL
So you speculated, and lost out. Bad luck. Markets go down as well as up.
Now you are going to play star trek online (tee hee) because some more non final changes have been announced.
This is what you are telling us? And we should be upset to see you leave because?
SKUNK
There was a devblog showing their intentions with the motherships. The now prenerf design had been on sisi for months with little to no remarks for any changes and now 2 weeks before dominion hits ccp turns around 180¦ changing the whole class.
There is speculating and there is being prepared, changing the 2nd most expensive shipclass by such a margin 2 weeks before dominion hits is so ridicolous it was impossible to see coming.

The Dev Blog
That was two months ago. They described changes that are no where close to what they've put in place. I don't think it's unreasonable, after two months of no further changes, to see something and expect not to see a ridiculous, huge change in cost. People have made plans based on what they've seen not only show up on the test server, but stay there for two months, through an entire weekend designed to test it?
Plastered with disclaimers? I don't see much in the way of disclaimers in that blog post. Maybe some sideways hints, but there isn't even the traditional 'As always, these changes are not final' at the end of the post.
If they had come in from the beginning and said 'hey, your losing half your drones, and the ships are getting cheaper' then I don't think you'd see nearly the outcry that letting people build the ships has generated, and then turning around and simply stealing half the value from them.
Another thing to add is the extend of planning and work that goes into building supercaps. Acquiring all the minerals compression, logistics etc etc is a weeks long process. When dominion hits all supercap production arrays are offlined, meaning the supercaps still in build terminated. This forced ppl to either start buildjobs early to have their ship get ready before dominion hits (weeks before dominion for supercarriers) or wait til after dominion without having sov4.
CCP must have known and expected this, they also must know about the many ppl now having supercaps in build unable to safe their money on this 180¦ change. Its a F.Off decision made by ccp that really stings.

If the by nozh posted changes go through im likely selfdestructing my sc, banking 6b and using achimera and phoenix instead - not to mention subcaps..

2 weeks ago on SISI one of our MS pilots "melted" a dual rep 6 slot tank Thanatos in under 45 seconds.... he had fighter bombers lvl 4 and 20 bombers out.
People crying about undocking games with these ships would probably be the same people crying in 2 months when they lost 3 aggressed carriers on a station in under a minute to a 3-4 supercarrier hotdrop..... if no change to their damage was made.
Not arguing that the dps was too high or not - but nozh changes are butterflies on wheels if he felt it to be an issue. Theres plenty things he couldve done, like lowering the orbiting range to 3.5km and hp to that of a fighter plus a higher signature radius, making them very vulnearable to smartbombs and supportships as example - instead of making supercarriers am entirely new (worse) class 2 weeks before dominion hits.
And that is just if he really felt the dps was an issue, i personaly dont but am biased ;)
