Limiting fighters/fibos to only be assignable to capital ships would seem to get the spirit of " **** sky netting inti's" without completely breaking a lot of legs at the same time.
It hurts the mechanism, but keeps it functional within reason. |

Their logistics platform is guess what, dependent on play style.
Half/Half split between DPS/triage support.
Instead you choose to believe YOUR play style is the only play style. |

Instead you choose to believe YOUR play style is the only play style. You can use your carrier for mining for all I care. This is not about that. It's about a very powerful game mechanic that is hardly balanceable to begin with and very similar to other mechanics that CCP removed already or is committed to remove at some point in the future. Some people say it's a unique feature adding to the diversity of EvE. Be that as it may, though that doesn't make it a good mechanic.
It's powerful because it requires a large investment of isk/time. You need a very well skilled assigning toon, you need to have the capitals, and you still have to setup your own infrastructure. Limiting the mechanic to assigning to another capital class ship ( maybe just other carrier/sc ?) would be a decent way to balance the risk out, and still keep a good mechanic. |

Remote DD and AoE DD required a well trained toon, the capital to do it and to setup an infrastructure if you didn't want to leave your titan without protection and it was removed because it was a **** mechanic.
Comparing AOE DD's and fighter assist is a TAD of a long stretch. |

That was a broken mechanic, so is sky netting to a much lesser degree. One allows a large DPS boost, the other murders an entire fleet from off grid. It's a tad different. |

Maybe disregard the range requirements, but the POS restrictions are a pretty solid way to limit it. |
