I'm just adding my voice to those who say the Hel should give a fighter (and maybe drone too?  ) velocity bonus. Another good alternative might be fighter sig radius reduction.

for heaven's sake, can we not call them "Supercarriers"? That sounds soooo dopey ("Oh yeah? Well XYZ Alliance has ten Superdupercarriers! We're gonna omgpwn uuu! Lolz!!!1")
I propose calling them "Fleet" carriers, especially since they now field a small fleet all on their own.
As has already been stressed, supercarrier is already a widely-adopted term in the real world. Seeing as most ships follow real-world classifications, I see no reason why these should be any different.
And for christ's sake, you can call them whatever the hell you want; the only noticeable effect a name change would have is in the flavor text. You can still call it a mom, a flying spaghetti ship, or a spaceduck for all anyone cares.

+1 to carrier 5 -> supercarrier 1
I'd absolutely agree with this, but as CCP Abathur said, the "genie is already out of the bottle." You can't really introduce a new skill requirement (or alter the skill requirement) for an item that already exists in-game. How would something like that be handled? If you own a Supercarrier, you get free skillpoints? Or you're suddenly ejected from your ship when you log in until you can train up the new pre-reqs to fly it? There's simply no graceful way to handle a change like that.

If U don't wanna fly something labeled "Flagship" that's totally ok, but perhaps U should read and understand the suggestion before U think it's something U don't wanna fly. In short that suggestion is very similar to the Supercarriers we see on the board - with the difference it would loose all logistics bonuses and get extra leadership bonuses instead. It's nothing less eatyourface at all - perhaps the other way around since U can get more gang-bonuses with them in gang (more EHP can't make them weaker I'd guess?). The suggestion wasn't mostly about the name, but to a new role as a Capital Command ship with sharp teeths.
Personally, I believe a capital command ship would be awesome, especially one that gives slightly better bonuses than a current command ship. But, carriers already have their role. They are, primarily, Fighter platforms. They're the only ships that can utilize these unique drones, which can add significant DPS without needing the carrier even to be on grid.

I agree with you that the Drone Control Units are terrible, they should give 2 extra drones per level on SC's imo.
Agreed. DCUs, as they are, are only useful to POS-huggers.
