This method of attempting to balance isk generation will only result in players shifting to other methods of isk generation. The isk faucet won't really change, your real problem is skill injectors, players who otherwise would have been several hundred days away from ratting in a capital, have a capital to rat in. Now they'll just use injectors to switch to two or three well constructed Ishtars and go afk while they do it as a bonus.
All the while you've now also seriously damaged the utility of these capitals in PVP.
A more direct isk nerf for carriers or high end null sites would have been way more effective, and preserved these capitals utility in PVP. Add a thematic modification to null sites so that they send out a panic message when a capital warps on grid calling radio silence IE, no escalations for capital ratting... Or heck, create some kind of tax that CONCORD puts on capital ratting... literally SO many other ways without damaging capital PVP
The nerf hammer is the least elegant solution you could possibly have implemented. |

Solution to current problems... 0% escalation chance in anoms with capitals on grid slight nerf to high end bounties (if you're really only worried about carrier bounty income, gate havens and/or fHubs)
Modify injectors so that SP gain is scaled based on skill multiplier rather than total SP on the character, this way characters aren't injecting cheaply into traditionally high SP skills, while still preserving the benefit of injectors to new characters. |

a negative isk hull modifier on capitals, easy, done, solves problem without killing pvp |

As above, my only real concern with this rebalance is capitals in PVP... Relative to other options carriers will still be better isk generation options, if people are still willing to commit the time and concentration necessary. |
