Guys, your super caps are no longer solo pwn-wagons. If my baddon gets tackled by a dram theres nothing i can do about it either. Thats why i bring people who can.
I empathise with the folks complaining here that they will have to change their strategy. But any change that encourages inclusion of a wider range of ships in an engagement has to be a good change, right? |

Yes if CCP took ECM drones or Warrirors II's from your Abaddon a single dramiel would probably hold you down forever.
A dram fitted for cepting can 99% outrun ec-300's and 100% outrun warriors.
Sure guys SC's are expensive. Stop thinking about the hole in your wallet and start thinking about gameplay. Thats a bit harsh i know but maybe you all have milked the flavor-of-the-last-2-years and now have to learn to protect against their new weaknesses?
That was a rhetorical question btw. I have a feeling that caps will still be rarely deployed in low-sec off station since like has been said, supers can still make short work of them. Only difference is that someone might lose a super or two due to their expectation that with a large price tag comes immunity to risk. |

If you can't afford to loose it, don't fly it!
and that goes for all ship classes and pilots. So stop complaining about you 80-120bil Titan or 20 something bil SC.
Your playing eve, Ships die, they are still gonna be hard to kill, but atleast we small guys have a chance to kill you now.
Good job CCP I can afford to loose my Nyx... thats why i use it. It's more that CCP is making my Nyx useless other than killing caps, and more so useless to me because I am not in a giant blob alliance, and I cant change into another ship.

More than a bridge and a giant cannon, give them the role of as a sort of super command ship. An area of effect bonus to allied ships that are on grid with them. Also I'd like to see Doomsday removed entirely and replaced with something more useful and tricky than "big gun go boom." What if the Leviathan could field a massively powerful ECM burst? Or the Avatar had a pulse to sap a fleet's capacitors 50%? Some sort of powerful effect that could, when used at the right time, change the tide of battle.
Titans already do give racial boosts to their fleet. |

Current Situation:
Cruiser tackled - LIGHT CYNO DROP SUPERS! BC tackled - LIGHT CYNO DROP SUPERS! BS tackled - LIGHT CYNO DROP SUPERS! Triage on field - LIGHT CYNO DROP SUPERS! Supers on field - LIGHT CYNO DROP MORE SUPERS!
After patch:
Cruiser tackled - burn it down with your sub caps BC tackled - burn it down with your sub caps BS tackled - burn it down with your sub caps Triage on field - try to neut it, drop your own triage or LIGHT CYNO DROP SUPERS! Supers on field - scramble the dictors and get more neuts or LIGHT CYNO DROP MORE SUPERS!
Seems like options are opening up which can only be a good thing imo.
Gotta be a shame for raiden and PL though. The two places where all the super caps congregate to protect themselves in numbers will have to think of somehting else. Im sure PL will bounce back, lets put it that way ;) |

I dont mind them self-destructing. I think that this should generate a mail though. The advantage of SD at that point would be that your nyx doesnt drop the best part of its deadspace tank. |
