In Full agreeance with Vuk. Though i did here somewhere the idea of giving a mom a temp... blast shield, that could extend around a fleet like a pos shield with a limited ehp. This shield could defend a fleet from a titan, like a mom level triage. If i remember it correctly, It would immobilizes the mothership completely and give it reps bonus's to hp but shorten the range. A shield would open around the mothership that ships could travel through at a reduced velocity, they would be immune to targetting or being targetted (as a pos shield is). The counter to the titan DD, effectively shielding those units that are near the mom when the titan deploys, now one restriction is how does one know when to deploy and if one does will a titan dd? I cant remember if they talked about this in their post.
Anyway that was something interesting that i read that i thought could possibly work. Make mom's Useful outside of pos decorations and epeen measurements.... And docking would be nice cause i agree they are just as big as a pheonix and arent as tall as a naglfar so why dont they fit!

No Offense Crest.... BUT
You obviously arent a capital ship pilot. If im in a battleship gang, more than usual i would rather have a team of logistics with me than a couple carriers. Reasons: Logistics are Faster They Lock Quicker Can Follow the Fleet through Gates They can warp out or avoid if Primaried alot quicker. Generally Logistics pilots know what they are doing, cant say the same for all carrier pilots running in a logistics role.
Carriers are great when supporting other capitals. assigning fighters, Repping at a pos when friendies warp in. But other than that They are pretty useless against a well fc'd BS fleet. Secondly A dread without siege is useless their tracking is ****ty, their locking time is horrible, their tanks are much worse than a carrier, The size of sig radius they have to hit as a target is sooo large. Anyone that ever said BS's and smaller dont have a position in a fleet is purely and utterly wrong. Supercaps without cap support are lost, and Caps without Support are Lost. its easy to overwhelm a cap fleet with a well fc'd Support and BS gang. They are all integral parts of an alliances over all fleet mechanic.
What Vuk is trying to do is make the highest end of the ships (by highest end i mean size, value) more useful to the general fleet mechanics of the game. this way he is hoping to see them more commonly in battle. because right now If your in a mom your an instant primary. If your in a titan your only job is warp in dd and get safe, thats it sounds exciting doesnt it. So dont bash someones ideas that are going to make the game better and give a class of ships that is not used to its full potential an actual position in the fleet.
Vuks got my support

I dont disagree carriers are logistics tools as much as support for dreads if and when regular fleets come rolling in. But since Ms's cant dock they suffer greatly as a tool to haul ships around with seeing as you have to have pilots on both sides to load and unload. Where with a carrier you can just dump em into your hangar and contract or trade them back ( or deliver if you have an office and they are corpmates). Also The Mother ship has no more bonus to repping than carriers, so its no more effective to rep with one. As well they also limited by the fact that they melt like butter on a stove when they get into a cap fight so why bring one at all.
I guess what im getting at is they have very little purpose and use in the game as it stands unless you wanna lose it. This is cause their survivability is soo low that its sad. All we are asking is to give MS's a purpose that is different than a carrier something they excel at other than drones. Finally for titans i would love to see battle titans with guns fitted and a siege mod warping in with the carriers and dreads and motherships to cap fights like a mixed fleet of caps. Instead of look a fleet of dreads spotted with carriers, who are really just dread pilots who are in training.
