A supercarrier designed purely for solo ratting. Excellent.

Since you guys have made the good choice to delay the incursion feature until it is ready I hold hope that you will also keep working on the design of this ship in the extra time.
You're going to hear a lot of legitimate criticism from players that the design appears to lack focus. It's hard to find a role that it is designed to fill (except a anomaly ratter but I hope that isn't the main role you had in mind for a new supercarrier).
The jump range bonus would be handy if your fleet was nothing but carriers and Sansha SCs, but that is going to be unrealistic in the eve environment, especially with a supercarrier that has such a weak tank compared to the others. In the vast majority of cases the jump range bonus will be a wasted bonus.
There is also no Amarr flavour at all in the bonuses, with the Amarr carrier skill only giving the base bonuses that all supercarriers receive equally anyways. Putting those bonuses into a static role bonus and finding a real amarr carrier bonus would be a better choice.
Giving it a Nyx sized drone bay is a good step, however that is a stat that all supercarriers should be given if possible.
As it is, this is a ship that will be the most expensive supercarrier to produce thanks to the BPC, but will also be either the worst supercarrier or the second worst depending on your perspective. It won't see use in real pvp fleets and all of the demand will come from people who only intend to rat with it, which I fear will not provide enough demand to make use of the BPC supply.
I am aware that these are just the current stats, so I am hopeful that the dev team will reconsider them before January.

lol. a Hel, without the remote rep bonus, that will probably be 2x more expensive, and that needs cross training.
Tell me it's at least the most beautiful supercarrier ever.
Acquired taste at best imo.

Good design
This is a ship I could get behind. Moral of the story is that there are ways to make this ship interesting and useful without making it overpowered. By taking advantage of the extra time and collecting good ideas from players like Pallidum this ship rollout can become something CCP can be proud of.
