Does this change come in conjunction with altering fighter code to reduce the amount of lag they create, or is this your theorized resolution to that problem?

Please answer this question as it is the most succinct version of what is on everyone's mind.

Righto then.
So a lot of people missed the point of this blog. The idea we had is: 'Should Carriers and Motherships be more support role oriented then they are now?' Then we thought, what's a way to do that, and came up with this one.
That's when we decided to just blog the idea, and get some feedback on 2 things:
1. Do you like this idea (that is the more-support-oriented idea)?
2. If so, do you like the approach we're thinking about (fighter deployment limits)?
3. If you liked the idea but no the solution, what propositions do you have?
4. If you don't like the idea at all, why not?
Now to answer a few questions that have arisen in this thread.
Are you an idiot?
No, but thanks for posting constructively
Are you doing this to decrease lag
No, this is purely balancing ideas, nothing to do with lag or server load
Have you even played EVE or taken part in a fleet fight?
Yes
Why shouldn't a mothership be able to defend itself????
For you real-life analogy aficionados: Do you ever see a aircraft carrier travel anywhere without a blob of smaller support ships?
For you others: It can still defend itself, but let's be real, why would you ever get yourself into a situation where the last line of defense between you and an attacking fleet are you fighters?
There won't be any difference between a Carrier and a Mothership!!
If this change nullifies the difference between those two ships, what's the difference today?
Oh man a real-life analogy who doesn't love those. Hey thanks for this, now would you mind putting the person in charge of reducing the amount of lag fighters create on the line?

If the reason for flying a mothership over a carrier is just that it does more damage, what's the change? It will still do more damage if it delegates the extra fighters it has over carriers?
The last three pages have answered that question.

Hey look Zulupark don't feel bad no-one's going to make fun of you for acknowledging that your ideas are really awful and throwing them away. Please don't feel compelled to go through with them in an attempt to maintain face buddy. :)

Also Zulupark the next time you use one of Bein Glorious's ideas I would appreciate it if you gave him atleast some sort of shout-out.

fighter lag is sort of like the billboard code where no-one actually knows what's going on isn't it
