If you get hotdropped by carrier/mom squad why not counter that.
we do... we walk away.
We can't front motherships, and we front limited capitals.
When you guys killed a mothership in lowsec, you had to front two of your own along with several other capitals to take it down.
For a smaller corporation, there's no way at present to counter it other thank walking away.
And the funny thing is that more and more people are simply dropping blobs of capitals, or a supercap on smaller corporations in lowsec and the fringe areas of 0.0 purely because of the fact they'd rather win an engagement that have a fight they'll remember.

Yeah, and it still didn't work.
changing the words slightly doesn't take the problem away. They problem that the sheer damage needed to take down a supercapital is in no sense even remotely comparable to a battleship, even for a small corporation.
On the contrary, 5 frigs will most likely get mashed by a domi. They'll not break it's tank and it's neuts and drones will massacre them one at a time. Should a domi be reduced to using 1 or 2 drones to give those poor frigs a chance?
The simple fact is that pvp in eve in harsh and unfair. If I wanted nice fair fights i'd go play another game where you can't get ganked.
You're a pirate Verone. Do you not shoot a hauler flying past you while you are in a BS, because it would be "unfair" and "not a fun fight" ???

with bias I mean that you need look further then your own win button, that now might become harder to click, we think it will do some good in general but if you disagree then explain why you think it will not meet our goals. That is constructive criticism.
I was hired because Ive been playing for a long time and I am training up for captital ships, we all have here but sometimes you have to do things that even hurt your own win button if you believe it will benefit gameplay on a larger scale.
A carrier solo is not a win button, it is an expensive target that will go down like a sack of **** to a gang. I know, that's how i lost one. 
The only thing that need to be fixed from a game design point of view is there currently no mechanism to tackle a mothership in low sec. There should be. The bigger issue is lag and how all ships perform in it, but as already stated this proposed change is not for lag reasons.

Let's face it. A mothership should not have less dps than a rorqual when using drones. The concept is insane.
And pimping the sig

What i really, really don't like about this is being outright lied to. In the dev blog, this idea is touted as just an idea, being thrown out there for the community to discuss.
Quote:
Well, we have an idea, and before you go ballistic remember that this is an idea and weære still working on it:
You go from that to completely coding the entire system in less than 2 working days, and putting it on the test server? I say bull****, this has obviously been on the cards for much longer, devoting programming time and effort into it. You don't do that for "just an idea".
Next time, have the good grace to not lie to us, and just tell us what is going to happen. Then we won't have to respond, wasting thousands of players time is a futile effort to put across our point of view.
Disappointed,
Max

Ladies and Gentlemen, this has to do with the upcoming drone and fighter bandwidth and is not related to the delegation idea. The test server gets updated daily and as Trinity gets closer to release you will likely see a lot of things happening there. We are also working on an updated new dev blog to outline our concerns and plans for carriers. Please do not jump to conclusions and be patient. Thank you. 
Well i suggest that he chop chop's and gets it written and posted, because the way this is currently being handled is completely shocking.
