It is a SUPPORT and it is a LOGISTIC ship. Why in New Eden should its DPS matter one bit?
Uh the whole point of super carrier was to give it a different role... It was to be an anti-capital ship and no longer a support/logistics ship.. hence the removal of triage module
I don't like the titan or supercarrier changes .. to me it lacks a defined role and just tries to one up dreads and carriers respectively .. pointless

eh most of the rage is over how this was presented to the community rather than the actual nerf.. it was pretty terrible PR

The one thing I don't understand is that this seems to completely take away from their intended role. Anti-capital warfare
Sure you can still have 10 fighter bombers but with the explosion radius figured in they don't outdamage dreads .. the numbers have been put up
So the only real role for these is to go with the standard carrier fit (minus a triage module), fit buffer with the massive eHP boost, and RR
Also if you consider Nozh's "dps fit" supercarrier with nothing but DCUs vs a standard smart bomb/neut/rr fit .. with all things being equal (numbers.. proper capital support.. etc) the SC with DCUs is at a distinct disadvantage because the standard fit SC can eliminate its dps (smart bombs + support helping) and help keep its support alive with RR, while the dps fit will have to sit there and tank it and hope his support can kill off the bombers fast enough
am I wrong?

If you skip the anti-capital role? Are you serious? CCP decided it¦s the new role for the ship and you conveniently skip it?
But they aren't making it a superior anti capital ship from the sounds of it... now if the DPS numbers are way off and you can provide 2 dreads worth of DPS or some such .. it might be worth it
but the DPS is destructible .. fairly easily .. you send it into a group of RR capital ships with some smart bombs fit and they don't hold up very well
also if it requires you to put a full rack of DCUs in the highs you are not only gimping your own defense against drones.. you are gimping your support fleet since you will not be able to provide any RR
I don't see enough motivation to use these in any other method other than high eHP remote rep carriers .. which doesn't fulfill the anti-cap role at all

can we remove "super" from their name now then?
All these are now is a tier 2 carrier .. the balancing decisions are up to y'all but it just doesn't seem like a super capital if you can dock it
