Why? You can hold a carrier with a noob ship and a point. You can kill it with 20 interceptors.

Maybe CCP should just scrap this and go back to POS warfare. At least those required *effort* to both attack and defend and there were strategies involved, like kitting RF timers. You know, it was actually fun.

POS Warfare
CCP, please get your geniuses together and look at how POS Warfare worked. How it actually worked. To hold sov, you had to use space - towers had to be online. You had to protect these towers. They were vulnerable 24/7 with little notice - defenders had to be on the ball and could do something, even if it only was using POS guns or setting timers, it was a 27/7 affair. Attackers could kite timers to throw off active defenders. Attackers had to invest in attacking space. It was far more dynamic than dominion sov. Heck, attackers didn't even have to attack anything - they could just online some towers - use the space more and then it was up to the defenders to attack the attackers.
There were strategies and counter strategies. Each system was unique.
Actually go to a white board, and write out how stuff worked with POS warfare. Maybe you'll realize that it was better than dominion sov which sadly is better than what you are proposing.
Space herpes + roam sov does not make it better. When attackers don't even have to invest an HOUR of their time to troll you.

First kill defensive SBU's, then anchor SBU and then online SBU. Unless you have a supercap blob thats hours and hours of effort.
Or you know, use 10 dreads and one cycle the SBUs - 5 minutes.
But then even large coalitions used "siege fleet" bombers to RF towers and SBUs for various reasons. Those reasons have nothing to do with availability or lack of supercaps. It has more to do with the risk vs. reward vs. effort triangle.
