If you think I'm wining because I'm not prepared you are dearly mistaken. This will hurt many, I wont be one of them. Personally I preferr a few large powerfull alliances over the uncohesive rabble that 0.0 is filled with.
Thank you CCP for killing all the small/inept alliances, and making it so that small ones or newbs wont be able to start small 0.0 alliances.

harsh and boring to death are two very different things.
do you really want to fly a freighter through 0.0 just to fuel poses?
I don't want to fly anything anywhere to fuel poses, thats why I did spam hundreds of poses across space. It was your choice to put up those poses, now its your problem to deal with them. Don't want to? Well then take them down. Don't go to the forums whining because you made alot of work for yourself and now you don't want to do it.
Just try running one pos in 0.0 and come back tell us what you think of the coming changes

Adapt or die.
It might be a tough month or 2, but you'll get throught it with more effort thrown on logistics.

this is of course coming from some body who has never done logistics ?
the rorqual or the amarr dread will alliance to Adapt ect, then when jump frighters come out we will be back to where we started (well for the large alliances any way)
so in 3 months time will you be saying
unAdapt or live

Um, so then drop POS's that you cant handle to fuel anymore. No one is going to laugh at you because you cant maintain a huge workload. If anything, this change will see sov drop in alot of systems. If that makes you anxious to know that enemies can move in next door to your space and attack you at will....maybe you should go play WoW?

ooohh WoW thats low 
it's just that the people who never do logistics the ones who are the one being the most vocal and I know member in their alliance who do logistics and feel just the same about the changes.

Refrain from posting a quote of somthing i never said, and how about you actually come out to 0.0 and see what it's like. I somehow dont know how somone that's not in an alliance nor lives in 0.0 can even have a legitimate opinion on this issue.

Maybe they just want you to cringe in frustration, get nervous breakdowns and start to abandon POS. The argument that the current rate of pos spam will be held up no matter the workload is of course not to be taken seriously. Yet you hear it all the time. Learn to say no, even if your goddamn alliance goes down the drain.
On a lighter note, you do not know what this nerf exactly entails. You know nothing, and all you have is anxiety. Quite a way to play a game that's supposed to be fun by the way. The devs are talking about choosing the carrier role with modules or rigs. One of those roles may be that of a transport. No swiss army knife, but still a solution for logistics.

No i'm not complaining about that, they intend to make it so that a Iteron V with items inside it wont fit in a carrier. This makes it so that carriers will be incapable of hauling. This will kill many small alliances, since their will not be enough jump freighters to sustain them.
That is my arguement. Keep the carriers capable of hauling UNTIL their are sufficient jump freighters in the game.

the recent skill req reduction, to racial freighter lvl4, i think is a good compromise that we have ALREADY gotten (its on SISI)
that being said, you are correct, there would be a delay before we start getting the ships themselves. I dont think its killer, you can still transport SOME fuel in the carrier, or cargo expanded dread, if you must.
I don't think its a killer for any properly orged 0.0 alliance tho. I just dont buy the sky is falling routine. I lived in 0.0 for well over a year when there where NO frieghters OR capitals. We had to run industrials up with fuel. WE had plenty of LARGE alliances claiming vast areas of space with big POS networks. Kids today  are just spoiled, and they try to make too few people maintain everything. I think there should be an obvious award to those that can org a good op, not a free pass so everyone can do it with a single alt.
just my 2 cents. I think there should be less POS in the game. This requires a game mechanic change as well, but a logistical bottleneck is not a surprising first step.

Actually, I'm quite looking forward to seeing how this pans out. As it is, our alliance has quite a few high skilled players in carriers that do all the logistics work with their carriers and a handful of cyno alts. Then they turn around and throw it in our faces every now and then saying that nobody ever helps.
There are quite often many of the lower skilled members there asking if they can help and being told "no, we've got it covered". I can't fly a carrier, I can fly a freighter, the most I've been asked to do is empire hauls and then a final jump into low sec to where the carriers are.
I would love, instead, to get a reasonable sized gang to escort a few freighters into 0.0. A mixed gang of support ships and BS with maybe a few carriers on standby in case the **** hits the fan. This would maybe require that we bust a gate camp or 2, fight off an attack or maybe just the usual warp/jump/warp/jump with nothing happening.
IMO, that would be a LOT more fun than sitting around watching carriers jumping in and out of systems and would involve a lot more people in the logistics operations.
A few people have mentioned the use of jump bridges. Well, NEWS FLASH, they have nerfed them. It's my understanding that a freighter will not be able to use them any more. So there goes that argument.
That leaves the jump freighter (which will, admittedly, favour the more established and richer alliances) but it has a limited jump range and 1/4 the capacity of a normal freighter and the Rorqual, which also has a limited jump range.

dev posted said the frieghter change on SISI was a mistake, and that freighters would still be able to use jump bridges.
That being said, while a freighter op SOUNDS like fun (and looks like it on paper) they rarely are. The enemy will see you coming, gather, and strike, all primarying the freighter, who will die regardless of what you do. Its very frustrating, there is no game mechanic to truely escort and protect the freighter.

OK. Missed that bit, good and bad as we will have jump bridges soon

Would take a pretty big gang to take out a freighter with logistics support from multiple logistics ships and then the carriers when they jump in. And if you are stupid enough to broadcast your intentions to your enemies with enough advance warning to let them get organised then you deserve to get ganked 
It's not like in high sec where the attacker's gank squad can hide in local making scouts next to useless and where your support can't pre-emptively engage neutrals (or even engage post attack). Use forward and rear scouts, your freighters should not ever be engaged if you do it right.

To a point. Problem is, no one today wants to:
1. get together enough people to do such a support op
2. Be in the support op
sadly enough....
Also, once the enemies have enough ships....the freighter is going to die. quickly...before teh carriers cyno in. and the logisitic ships may have to go first, true, but it wont matter. Which really is the problem, cause the outcome of the freighter escort op are invariably:
1. Enemy gets together the peps required, and wins by default
2. You get no action for the 2 hours of running up the map, warping at .7 au/sec across 192 au warps.
There is alot of work that needs to be done to make the logistical side the way it SHOULD be...and while the coming changes are a step in the right direction, they maybe the incorrect first step.
