I don't have the time or patience to explain, in detail, why giving carriers in their current state the ability to deploy fighterbombers is a horrendously bad idea. So, cliff notes: There is a reason we don't allow supers to deploy drones other than fighters and fighter-bombers. A very good reason. There is a reason we don't let dreads use drones anymore. A very good reason. There is a reason why carriers have their specified, intended role in the capital tree. A very good reason. Capital proliferation is bad enough as-is. Giving high-SP alliances/corporations easier access to fighterbombers, regardless of place in the ~nullsec cartels~ or lowsec/facwarfare groups is a recipe for disaster and less-fun. Carriers already fill a plethora of roles, some of them questionably not where the ideal carrier should be. Giving them the additional DPS role that should really belong to dreads, supercarriers, and (maybe) titans is a recipe for disaster. Fighters have been meta-outed for a while now due to their inability to be used against subcaps to much of a degree of usefulness (or, for most of my alliance, against the red-cross menace at an acceptable ISK/hr ratio). They really need to be rebalanced to be useful for defending capital groups from BC/BS gangs instead of reliance on sentry drones. ADI is a skill that needs redesigning anyway. This is not the redesign it needs. I really don't want lower-SP characters getting access to fighterbombers just because they own a carrier. There is a degree of e-peening that comes from achieving the ability to field a supercarrier, and being given access to fighterbombes on that ship may as well be an exclusive perk of the craft. Plus, I hate people whining about instant gratification of their goals when they realize that EVE actually takes some time and investment to get to where you ideally want to be. As previously mentioned, getting a supercap isn't that hard these days. If you find it really hard to do, you're REALLY doing something wrong.
