Right.. after looking through such and such i've decided that imo i think carriers are pointless.. a giant repper in space.. a very big "bullseye" for your foe.
Sure they can jump in ships and act like mini stations ... a home from home.. but other than that what purpose do they serve?
In combat they can be jammed by anything, their fighter link command is all fair and well but with the hp buff and nothing changed about fighters a single battleship can tank the lot of them at once.
They arn't great for solo work, and they arn't great for fleet since most of the time the enemy E-war will have you locked down tighter than a cats arse.
Now.. anyone want to explain to me what the point in a carrier is other than being a 2-3bil target for ur foe. -------------------- "this is the templar fighter used by carriers" Originaly quoted by Shania Eria.

Fighter assignage? Carriers can easily change the outcome of a fight. Plus, there's the "Oh ****!" moment when the enemy warps 'em on top of you.

Fighters need a serious boost. In my abaddon i've tanked two high skilled carriers (30 fighters) and also the sentries. And I tanked everything for about 15 minutes, until cap boosts ran out.
I've spent a lot of time training for my archon, and spent alot kitting it out. My only use for it will be to fight, need not haul mass things via jumps... I'm a pvper.
I only hope this training is not wasted, with fighters as they are with such low dps it feels like it is a waste.
Boost fighters.

They are a huge source of lag i think... You can have great battles with 100vs100 almost lagfree... until your enemy jumps a bunch of carriers in and spams 200 fighters on everyones screen... Then you die, because fighters dont have lag. --- I was sworn to absolute secrecy! |

Sad part is that good skilled thanatos will deal only 1,5k dps, so yes i'm signed for fighters boost.
Also complaining about game, don't cure effect but cure reason (crappy client and server software). ---

So can a battleship, whats your point? A carrier has 3x the sensor strength, not easy to jam.

Good luck with that. Seriously. I've never had a BS tank my fighters. Add in the damage done to you by my friends and goodnight.

Thats what Motherships are for... why else did you think they would have an Ewar invulnerability? Carriers (in smaller numbers) are better suited to large gangs (upto about 50 people) And anyway, you do realize that EW ships can be killed right? If you have any sort of sense you make sure your gang gets rid of them first.

Sure. Can you name me another ship that has the damage output of a gank-BS while repairing 600HP/s on your friendlies? Didn't think so. -----

chronus; an abaddon can tank many fighters at once whilst still dealing damage.
A battleship doesn't cost 2-3 bil to buy.. so there is no comparrason.
They seriously lack ability on the battlefeild imo, i think they should have ewar immunity other than warp scrams and webbies.. a carrier that can't lock is worthless on the feild unless it's fighters are assigned. -------------------- "this is the templar fighter used by carriers" Originaly quoted by Shania Eria.
