Introduce new "anti-capital" fighters called "Fighter Bombers".
Basicly these new fighters would have high damage, high alpha and be fragile to counter-attacks.
"Balor" I Gallente Bomber Drone
Volume 10,000 m3 Max Velocity 750 m/sec Orbit Velocity 100 m/sec
Optimal range 40 km Area of effect 2,500 m Explosion Velocity 50 m/sec Explosion Radius 800 m
Rate of fire 12.50 sec Damage Modifier 6.5 x Kinetic damage 150 HP Thermal damage 500 HP
Shield Capacity 2,500 HP Armor Hitpoints 2,500 HP |

Edited by: Kaylan Jahlar on 28/06/2009 15:54:35 I think that's a great idea! I would leave the balancing to CCP however. |

Of course. This is just a draft idea.

No, if you want to shoot other capitals and towers more effectively get a Dread. Carriers already have enough roles, they don't need more. |

Pretty much this. I'd be cool with other types of fighter drones, if people had good ideas for them, but anti-capital is a field that's already got a capital class tasked to it.

Supported for the following reason:

Cruisers were once the biggest ship in eve, then came battle ships, then came caps, then came super caps and now triple doomsdaying is far from unheard of. What next, mega caps that fire HAC's as ammo? |

No to anti-capital fighters but yes to new breeds (possibly).
The anti-capital role is already fielded by so many ships a few battleships take out a carrier easily and with a dread it becomes even simpler. The carriers are support platforms and by no means damage platforms.
New breeds of fighters would be nice but it comes to mind that pretty much every role is covered. Maybe things such as logistical fighters could be a nice addition to add towards the logistical platform role. |

they should not be as effective as dread, but more effective then current fighters.

There might be a point in giving them a solid anti capital ship angle, and only allowing motherships to be able to field them.

What about giving these to Motherships to give them a better defined role? Curious as to how others feel about this before I cast my vote.
*edit* Seems the poster above me had the same idea.

Honestly I think this would require an entirly new type of ship, strike carrier or something that has a more dedicated role, smaller and faster than a normal carrier but more damage and little to no logistics.

Moms are never going to be defined as anti-capital platforms - the finances of it simply don't work. There are two ways to justify spending money on a supercapital(well, three, but I don't count epeen). They have to either defeat enemy fleets, or support your own fleet, to such an extent that the effect is worth the price tag. Right now, Titans do both of these, and Moms do neither. Thus, Titans are the primary strategic asset of major alliances, and motherships are vanity hulls for people with more money than brains. Bomber drones will not solve this(unless they're powerful enough to warrant comparison to DDDs), and as such, they'll only distract from a mothership's true role on the battlefield.

You're right that they don't have a role right now. My point is, this won't give them one. It'll just make them go from being 2x a carrier at 20x the cost to also being 1x a dreadnought at 10x the cost. It's exactly the same problem that they have right now, just in a slightly different flavour. Their role is fleet support - the problem is that they aren't capable of it right now.
