Defensively, supercarriers are a field-changing asset.  As each is designed to use capital logistics modules, they are often called in to repair player-owned stations after an initial assault.  With their immunity to standard electronic warfare, webifying one is impossible, always allowing full sub-light maneuvering, an asset if a hostile force comes upon one while repairing POS structures.

Offensively, supercarriers are a powerful anti-capital ship asset.  With a large number of fighter bombers deployed, capital ships take a brutal assault when swarmed by them.  Carriers and dreadnaughts fall quickly to a supercarrier, while a similar suppercarrier or titan may take longer.

In addition to the fighter-bomber support a supercarrier offers, the ability to jam large sections of enemy forces lies in the supercarrier's ability to fit Projected ECM, in the form of a Remote ECM Busrt I.  This module can jam large numbers of targets within a range.  This jam is equal opportunity, however, so friendly forces caught in the burst are at risk to suffer the same effect.  Used wisely, this can disrupt a large enemy force long enough to destroy a tactically strong ship on the board, break cap chains, and even allow a non-capital support fleet to gain the upper hand in a combat situation.
