Just a random idea which I think would be FRIGGIN AWSOME!
Keep the normal cargobay stuff the way it is, but add an "Interceptor Bay".
Should have the capacity to carry about 10 Interceptors, fully assembled and everything of course-BUT-with the pilots still at control of the Intys
They would be able to fit out there ship with access to specified cargoholds, and since they are inside the carrier, where ever the carrier goes, they go; at least until the carrier pilot tells them to scramble.
Whether this would be beneficiary to fleet battles or not I don't know. But I think it would be fun for small gangs and stuff. Maybe this would be better for a new kind of ship smaller than carriers in future expansions. Thoughts comments?

Why interceptors? Why not any frig like assault frigates? ______________________ Just another cool alt.

Why frigates? Given the size of the carrier, there should be room for a few cruisers to dock..... The size of the Thanatos implies maybe four cruisers could even fit in the launch bay.
Would create creative logistics of actually moving fleets outside of jump portals. Heck, I could even start a Taxi business ^^

Sure:D How about any Frigate/Destroyer? I was more or less thinking of "fighters" out of star wars. Can you imagine huge interceptor fights? (without webs of course)

Yea, that's when I figured maybe use a new T2 BC instead of carriers, kinda like a BattleCarrier.
I think both would be great, give the ability to carry up to 5-6 cruisers/20-30 frigs on carriers, and on the BattleCarrier up to 10 frigs.

Ye and give the carriers a new type of Torpedo bomber can only hit ships Bigger than cruiser, torpedo does damage over time and stops the target dead for 30 seconds.

...and point defense flak cannons, nukes, artillery, smartbomb range bonus, ability to deploy 100 fighters and remote rep everything in sight.....
...now back to reality.
EDIT: I forgot the covops cloak, and 8 low-slots for nano-fitting. EDIT: ...and a bar please.
Seriously, its not a bad idea to be able to jump smaller fighters complete with their pods inside a carrier, but isn't that kinda what a Titan does with its jump bridge. Plus your interceptors should never really need to be docked, they should always be protecting your carrier.

That's all it is! :D Logistics! No need for the intys to use up their cap jump after jump. Could be a good bait ship if the situation arises I'll look more into this later and come up with all the details/ideas. And besides, Titans are too expensive and doomed without a good support fleet.
If done with the unused BC's (as T2) it would be a much cheaper and more reliable way than using carrier/titans.

It seems to me that the carrier's ship bay should allow the pilot to dock their ship. Then their normal UI would disappear (just like when using a POS gun) and they will just see the carrier's shield, armor, structure layout. Then they can undock when they are told or should choose. This would allow a fleet to be much more mobile. This seems like it would create a much more true-to-name ship.
Although, I have to say that I don't think that the ship bay should be limited to just frigs or cruisers. It should be just like any other cargo bay so that we can fit an assortment of of ships in there. |

If people could dock in the current carriers and then the carrier jumps, it would be great!
We need a few limits on how this should be done : 1/ Ship maintenance bay size. Actually allows for many frigates and few cruisers, the size is fine for this role IMO. 2/ Number of pilots docked. You have a limited number of pod interfaces and launch bays, so you can't pick up 200 pilots because they were only in a shuttle... no. Have a limit of 10-15 for carriers and more with the motherships.
I think it would be really great to have real carriers. By the way, carriers holding such a gang should have no fighters and be really triage oriented. To be a bit realistic, they shouldn't hold fighters and pod pilots with their frigates/cruisers. Another way to balance this is to move fighters in the ship maintenance bay. -- Pocket drone carriers (tm) enthousiast !

Hence the reason I said we could use T2 Battlecruisers as pocket carriers
My POV went from originally Carrier/Motherships to T2 BC's.

Not sure about the name "Siren" though.
How about the "Duck" ?

Or maybe even........Pelican! Penguin! GOOSE! Swan! Osterich! Giraffe! Oh wait........ Each race would have their own named T2 BC of course, I think we ran out of good birdish names for Caldari.

well of course there is the huge programing effort into actuyl beign able to dokc while in controll of your intercepter.. but being able to jump in a squad or two of intercepters/assault frigates/frigates would be a good idea ... its basicly what they are ment for
