The Gallente are just mad that the Nyx is about to be kicked from its mantel as top super-carrier, this thing has a godly tank not to mention the damage it can do. I'm really glad about the jump range bonus, though I can see how it looks like a turd, I'm sure they meant for it to have more of an insect like appearance. I think its a great ship, and am happy to see shields making a play again. Lastly will there only be a new bomber, or can we expect a fighter as well?
Solid tank? This thing barely gets enough EHP to put it on par with a T2 fit Hel. It has 18m EHP with a full X-type/DG invul set as would be expected from any sane shield tanked supercapital tank. No. This thing doesn't out DPS a Nyx by that wide a margin, if at all, since the Nyx has 20 fighterbombers with a bonus to damage. The Revenant unfortunately only has ten fighterbombers with a 100% bonus, thus giving it the equivalent of 20 fighterbombers with a velocity bonus. The Ship as it is now is useless, but as Pilk said, its not utter garbage now.
The bonuses still need to be addressed.
Pirate bonuses should be as follows:
100% Bonus to Fighter/Fighterbomber Shield HP
Amarr Carrier Bonuses:
Can Deploy +3 Fighters/bombers/drones per level.
Can Fit one additional Warfare Link Module per level.
Caldari Carrier Bonuses:
10% bonus to shield resistances per level.
50% bonus to Shield/Energy transfer range per level.
Role Bonuses:
99% reduction in CPU need for Warfare Link modules
Can fit Projected Electronic Counter Measures
200% bonus to Fighter or Fighter Bomber control range
Immune to all forms of Electronic Warfare
Warrules: Adding a straight bonus to FB DPS is silly. This as it is now will do 8,000 DPS against a target, as well will it have the Remote ECM Burst that all motherships deserve to have and it will still be able to field as many combat utility drones as all the other motherships, so now it has the effective tank to either match or surpass a Hel, and in addition, the Nyx still remains King of the Hill when it comes to DPS. Believe it or not, the ability to launch that many combat utility drones can be vital to a mothership, so they should not lose their ability to do so.
As for the slot layout, I propose this:
6 High (Just the same as every other mothership)
8 Mid (The Shield tanked, faction mothership should get a full eight midslots for its tank)
5 Low (As per Sansha standard, it would have a large number of midslots and only a few lowslots.)
Anyone is free to throw fire at my proposition, but keep in mind I'm only trying to bring it closer into line with the other motherships.

Remove slave-set bonuses from capitals. It will remove all balance issues between them. 
You would have to remove all hardwiring bonuses from capitals, since a Wyvern with a 5% implant set can get almost the same EHP as an Aeon with slaves. This is without fleet bonuses, just so ya know.
