The proposed carrier changes are STUPID from the player's point of view.
Your training time of 6 to 8 months to get the ship flying and usable and then CCP takes it away in a simple software update? They are in this for REAL MONEY... Yours!
You are in it for FUN!
A Carrier should be able to field however many Fighters the pilot can control (up to 15) just like it does now. It should also be able to have 'cargo' inside ships inside the Maintenance bay. You go into combat with Interceptors that have no ammo charges in them and then what? May as well make the Maintenance bay a cargo area.
Continually nerfing the very ship that does a lot of things is a BAD decision. CCP says rekitting is NOT required, but that is BULL****! In order to use my Carrier for logistics, I do rekit it to get the most space for the buck. For Combat too, I rekit for specific roles. They should get their heads out of the rectum before doing things like this.
I trained for 6 months to fly the Carrier. Then they nerf it and nerf it and nerf it. It will be self-destructed if I cannot use it any longer for its main Logistics role.
Now, on to the REAL problems (and complaints by those with no fortitude) of Carriers and Motherships.
The 'overpowering' of them. They are NOT overpowered. They are there becuase they provide a serious role for the serious Alliances who do Serious battles, BoB, Goons, etc.
It is the people in Low-Security using the MOMs and Carriers to gank people at the gates and stations that are causing this issue. That is WHY they are even looking at Carriers and Moms.
You want to remove the problem? Do two things.
1) No MOMs inside space that is higher than 0.0. You get a MOM, you're married. Can't dock anyway. Same with a TITAN.
2) Do not allow Cyno Fields within 100km of the Gate in Empire (low-sec) space. Problem solved.
Notice that Cyno bombinig in 0.0 is still allowed here, by either MOMs or Carriers, which they should be allowed to do in order to defend one's space. But, no one owns low-sec space, so there is no need to permit a cyno near a gate.
And GIVE US BACK OUR GSCs or at least the COURIER MISSIONS! Transporting stuff for people in little pieces makes things a disaster for the pilot. Containerizing someone's stuff makes the ship a viable 0.0 transport for one's alliance.
I fly a Thanatos.
I fly a Moros.
I can fly a MOM too.
If the Carrier was not well thought out in the first place, then REMOVE them from the game. Because that is where this is heading anyway. Either you will have a ship that is capable of filling the multiple roles of its past or you will just pop it for the insurance and not use it anyway.
Or cancel your account because you have been bled dry enough by CCP.
STOP NERFING MY SKILL POINTS!
