The change has some merrits,
It will reduce the number of fighters on the field which will have an effect on lag (need for speed)
It will focus the supercarrier on the role of anti-cap with its Fighter Bombers
Nerfing drone deployment on motherships will do very little to reduce lag because of the relatively low numbers (are we seriously expecting to see dozens and dozens of motherships on grid at once?), and hanging game balance for the sake of the servers is of limited value since the servers are much more stable than they were 2 years ago (the last time a fighter nerf was proposed).
If this genuinely is a lag issue then its still a very strange decision.

if by 'drone control units are currently broken' you mean that you're buffing them to give +3 or +5 drones/fighters per level, then this is just about salvagable. It would still be a pointless and silly change and would just mean every supercarrier pilot throwing 2 or 3 DCUs on their ship, but at least we could undo the bulk of the damage this nonsense will cause.
If not you're all dumb as hell and can't even be trusted to make drawings with the orange crayons let alone responsible for design decision on a major MMO.

2 per level is a great improvement, but the docking ability will make for some loltastic docking games in lowsec.
(protip: supercaps should only be dockable in a 0.0 outpost with a VERY VERY EXPENSIVE upgrade bolted on to it)
Edit: ahahahaha not only did me and a Reikoku guy make identical comments about motherships, but we posted at the exact same time. Holy christ we are living in Bizarro EVE.
