Was wondering this very thing myself the other day: Why no sub-cap carrier style ship? Not just a drone boat ( Which tend to more be combat ships that just happen to have Drones too ), but an actual devoted light carrier style ship in each race.
The BS class could use some true diversity. As could the BC class. BC would give it gang links for gang support. Heck, with tiers being done away with you could even repurpose the underutilized Tier 1 BC's for it. It doesn't have to full a truly unique niche, just open up a new and different gameplay option. Focusing on micromanagement and/or support rather than direct pew pew.
Might be worth flying a Prophecy then. -.- |

Heck, they even look the perfect part of a battleship sized light carrier. "Escort carrier" is a good term for their role too.

"Haha wouldn't it be cool if..." is the entire basis of creating games to begin with. >.> |

Others have as well. Go back and look through the thread. Multiple people have said "what role does this ship fill?"
1 other person asked what role does it fill and was replied too. Multiple people have answered you specifically over this question however. The majority of the thread has been positive in support of the concept. |

Yes, a ship doesn't need to fill some unique niche role, it only need provide a new gameplay experience. There are many overlapping ships in the game. What matters is that those ships feel and play differently from one another. In fact, by CCP's own design, the only ships that need to fill a specific role are Tech 2 ships.
