If you're going to put this mess of a "fix" in you better start lowering the costs of carriers and motherships. If a carrier can only do 5 fighters worth of damage then its going to be a damn near useless isk sink. You'd be better off in a battleship.
In a lag filled environment (your problem NOT ours btw so don't push your crap down our necks because your hardware\software can't handle it) it'll be damn near impossible to get these damn things assigned and functioning. Drones already have issues behaving ai wise in a laggy environment and your solution is to fix it with a sledge hammer?
The original drone nerf I can understand. Hell it wasn't even a nerf. All it did was take less drones and give them more damage each. Fewer drones = less lag plus you gave us some extra goodies for the trouble. Good on you. What's the incentive to use a carrier if you're nothing but a glorified drone dispenser that can't even use his own drones?
Carriers are already reliant enough on the support fleet for everything as it is. Cyno generators, small\medium support to clear tacklers, medium\heavy support to go after enemy battleships and fighters. Carriers are very, very much a fleet ship already but apparently thats not enough for the likes of you. Considering the skills and costs to get into a carrier its fairly sickening to see something like this even be suggested.
I was going to start my carrier training fairly shortly but if anything resembling this goes in I won't be touching the f'ing things.

Do you even play the game? And talking about bias like that when it's pretty obvious you're full of it is disgraceful.
What are you thinking? Do you even understand your own playerbase, or for that matter your own game?
If one would look at the dev comments without bias they would realize the devs have lost touch in a big way.
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.
You can take one for the team if you want but don't pretend that you have any right to speak for the majority of carrier pilots out there. This thread alone speaks volumes against "the greater good" bs idea being spewed out by an ex QA guy. Between the costs of the ships themselves and the costs of time\isk training for them you're going to have some seriously unhappy players so don't expect them to bend over and just take it up the tail pipe. This isn't about some imaginary "in win" button as you put it. It's about buying a product, using it for a while and then having it taken away or changed for something inferior while being told "sorry but /gofuk".
I like Eve. I like CCP. I swear though that for every one thing they do really well they seem to come out with some utter crap to balance it out.

Update - We've been working hard to address your concerns. There will be a new dev blog up very soon which should hopefully clarify things a bit. Hang in there, guys and gals. 
I seroiusly hope so. The fact you guys actually had already coded this stuff before even mentioning it to the rest of us makes me a bit leery as to what exactly you all are doing\planning on doing. I don't abide by ANY carrier nerfing so the fact you're "addressing our concerns" means to me that you're still planning on doing something that we're not going to like regardless of how much of a positive "For the greater good!" spin you put on it.

97 pages, climbing fast and no official "sorry guys, you're right, this is a stupid f'ing idea" ...
I hereby officially declare shenanigans.
