I don't know whether to be delighted or horrified that there is this many supercapital pilots in the game with such a poor grasp on strategy and tactics. Seriously, the fear-mongering here is redonkulous.

Thank you everyone, for confirming once again that numbers and sizes have very little do to with increased amounts of thought put into battling it out, and that the make up of any fleet above 50 is about 90% terrified pilots who are completely dependent on the FC to wipe their asses for them. Seriously, I really dont care how big your 3p33n is or how many sp you have, if you're under the impression that supercarriers are now worthless than you deserve to either have it collect dust for eternity, or you deserve for it to die in a horrible fire.

Thank you CCP, for taking care of this. The scared supercap pilots who trained straight for the big stuff without every learning to, you know, PvP, deserve to be weeded out swiftly and severely when they dont put any thought into their drops, those pilots with a few brain cells and some balls o steel will be out scouting, planning, setting up cynos, primarying HIC's, and tactically handling these changes like champs.

To those nullsec jocks complaining that "if we lose subcap battle, we lose supercap battle" my advice is this - learn to fly smaller ships. You know, the ones that the other 95% of Eve players fly. Learn to fly them, and win. Yes, it is more difficult than jumping in a super, launching drones indefinitely, laughing at other players, than logging when things go south. Yes, its more difficult than hopping in an Abaddon and going down an alphabetical primary list and feeling like you're a badass cause you're with 500 others. But if you guys learn to actually PvP, and make independent decisions in a fleet situation, you might be able to instruct the subcap fleet that you'll need to defend yourself in how to do their job. And if your subcap buddies can't take out some HIC's or bubblers in time, well, thats your fault.

I think we're going to need a Tech 2 Noctis with tech 2 liquid extractors to gather all these tears come winter. I'm thrilled super pilots will actually have to pause for a bit and think before deploying their 'I WIN" buttons.

Everyone should be celebrating the triumph of tactics over resources. Eve is a great big sandbox and all, but just like all you people who said no "gold ammo" advantages, there likewise shouldn't be tactical advantages strictly because your Alliance owns more supers than the next. There should ALWAYS be a way for the clever smaller guy to get ahead, even against caps.
