Interesting.  I was waiting for the 'Boom! Headshot!'.

Not really anti capital from what I could understand.
More like the "headshot snipers" in fps games. Aimed at killing battleships, the "supercarriers" are anti capitals with their fighter-bombers.

New DD can solo a carrier, can strip a dread to low armor :)

nice, although the vid with all it's repetitions is a bit silly
and now knowing that a lot of em are variations on the same skin is a bit of a letdown too, if I hadnt watched the vid, I might have not notice

New dev blog about dominion, more precisely upkeep and upgrades.
http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=714

All in all it is looking quite good now.
They have reduced upkeep costs a bit, maybe too much for the "jammer+bridge" combo, and upped the income possibilities with increasing to 20 anomalies at lvl5. They should be about as profitable as lvl4's.
Also the at max upgrade of "ore prospecting" it gives 5 grav sites similar to the ones (I assume) high end wormhole space so should be good belts with high ends and such in large roids. They respawn every downtime.
Archeology/hacking site upgrade isn't a fixed number but a probability increase and the sites you find have a 12h respawn (how this works for something that might or might not be there I'm unsure)

You can also increase the other plex chances (both to find and the level) and the chance of finding a wormhole.

All in all it is looking quite good in my eyes. The only drawback is that there might be a significant risk that it won't change anything in the availability of space to actually own.

The actual upgrades do sound pretty good now they have given more nfo on them,  quite pleased at how much more profitable 0.0 could be for the little guy - although getting space in the first place...

Yes...
With the way the costs are done it doesn't seem to do anything against the infinite sprawl we have now.

So Supercarriers arent anymore.

http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&bid=717

TLDR: Supercarriers, formerly motherships, are now motherships again as CCP has completely trashed all the player tested and well received changes developed by a former 0.0 player turned dev, Seleene/CCP Abathur. This was preceded by CCP Abathur being removed from heading capital changes, and the dev who apparently took his place, CCP Nozh, proposing a string of game breaking changes and making patently false claims about game mechanics, showing the company's startling lack of how their game works.

However, two weeks from launch, the sweeping overhaul of the sovereignty system, a basic game mechanic, is still untested and incomplete, but is still being implemented.

Weird, but to be honest I found the supercarrier thing very underwhelming.

Theres a rumour going round that Assault Frigs wont be getting the range of boosts they were to get either (at least when Dominion goes live in a week and a half..)...

If so the meh!  Was looking forward to Af's becoming alot more viable than they are, getting AB bonii and such would have really helped them in pvp settings.  oh well, i#ll stick to thinking about inties and eventualy t3 frigs for now ;)

Shoot... Seems they are nerfing the Naglfar.
Having it being fairly decent was apparently way to hard for ccp.  :'(
