Simple enough concept to reduce the utility of supercarriers and bring a role back for dreadnoughts.
Introduce a smartbomb emitter POS structure with, say, 10 km radius of effect/activation range. This would protect your turret farms against fighters and fighterbombers (and regular drones too, but they're not normally a huge factor in DPS). One of each damage type would be available. Friendly POS modules would, of course, be immune to the smartbomb damage.
I'd also recommend they have extremely large shield HP so they don't get sniped quickly by escorting battleships to clear the way for the main force to pound the POS with fighters/fighterbombers. Carriers would still be able to POS siege using sentries.
This is not intended to be an omnibus fix, just a minor and presumably relatively easily addition to provide a disincentive to use carriers/supercarriers to the exclusion of dreadnoughts in the role that dreadnoughts are designed for.

so you want to have an exception to eve aoe? nope. Aoe is equal oppurtunity damage. Best kept that way so eve doesn't degrade into the fuster clucks of aoe spam like in warhammer.
I'd give you this smartbomb on pos. No immunity though. To see how bad you want the fb's. Want them bad enough to risk popping your pos hardeners? Or to see the epic km's after pos dead where the pos gunners could be in top running for high damage dealers.

If all you had around your POS was smartbombs, guess what? Your POS might as well be undefended unless the enemy has absolutely nothing but non-sentry drones, because it can't shoot anything, making that 'AOE Spam' entirely irrelevant.

The idea I suppose is to fend of supercarriers with their FB. It has some points, but IMHO, it is not very good proposal.

If you want to get cute, make a bomb tower. Loads with bombs. throws bombs to a radius of say 45k. Real bombs, expensive ammo ftw.
