This is hardly a surprise, it's not the first time it's been done even for bombers, and it's arguably the fault of all yo guys who complained about the bomber nerf last year. To quote me from the ISBoxer thread:
Lucas Kell wrote:let's face it, this time round it's because bomber fleets are massively overpowered, but when they tried to nerf those the whining began about how it's isboxers fault, not bombers. Now isboxer will still be able to be used for bombers (fleet warp + round robin keybind), and they are *more* overpowered than they were before because they are getting the buff that was to go along with their nerf.
They wanted to nerf bombers, people cried and it got cancelled, so they tried to passively nerf them by attacking how they are controlled. That didn't work so now they are going after the next way the are controlled. Undoubtedly this will hurt other users of fleet warp far more than bombers and bombers will figure out new ways of working (it's a lot easier for them as they have less players and roles to worry about) and we'll be back to having a half-assed change which doesn't fulfill it's goal. And why? Because they are too scared to address the actual problem which is bomber mechanics, because people will be up in arms again over it.
Personally I couldn't care less because I use fleet warp so very little. It's going to be funny watching the fireworks though.

Otherwise, just blowing smoke up your own self importance. *You guys. As in the one's that went into enormous threadnaughts over how unfair it was that they dare to reduce the effectiveness of bombers.
