I wasn't aware that smartbombs had been removed from the game. |

Very effective yes and also very expensive (320 flights of sentries ain't cheap). Used to work back in the day... Smarty fit BS warp in to carrier blob at zero and kill the fighters. I guess it's easier to type a few words in complaint than come up with a counter though... |

Also you can't defend drone assist without looking and sounding like a *****. Both sides are using it, it's hideously boring, and laughably broken.
Yes it is funny that with so many ship types and so many module variants that the best counter you can come up with is the same strategy. I don't see why a Discocarrier blob with bomber support can't counter this. Until someone can post proof that this doesn't work, I don't see a reason for a nerf.
If a nerf happens, so what? The same tactic works... with the FC calling primary and everyone focus firing their drones.

That was back in the day, replace BS with Carriers. Sorry just because big alliances have issues with one game mechanic, doesn't mean you can ruin it for everyone else. As I said, prove it doesn't work, rather than ignore it. |

That said, if it happens before the current war is resolved it is going to look extremely suspect and engender a lot of ill will. If we were concerned with avoiding ill will we'd have disbanded by now. Drone assist being nerfed would just be fair, long range dread pilots have to manually activate their modules, why shouldn't slowcat pilots have to do the same?
Clicking F1 is no different to clicking deploy drones, the deploying of drones is a manual activity, or did you think they auto deploy, do you even drone son? |

We have. There are no subcap fleets or tactics that will break one of these carrier fleets. This means that most of playerbase are useless in a fight against these and every single alliance has no hope of ever winning a fight. Only two powers have the ability to beat these and one of them is the party using it. So, when we talk about "ruining it for everyone else" let get our facts right. CCP have stated time and time again that they will never allow the game to turn into capitals online.
So they are going to restrict players from getting into capitals? That's the only way i'm afraid.
