Should be interesting to have a "light" carrier with the only purpose to provide small roaming gangs new ship when some member are destroyed.
When i say light i mean cheap and with (of course) limited capacity something the size of a BS hp / manoeuvrability wise and same price, with very limited number of high slot and a little cargo and a rather big hangar but nothing excesive i would say a hangar that could contain 4 frigate sized ship or 2 destroyer sized or 1 cruiser sized
this way in roaming gang when somebody see his ship destroyed instead of being nulltoo ****ed of because he's in a pod and now he can't follow the gang anymore and must go back in a station x or xx jump away to get a new ship (if it's worth it to come back....), the light carrier could jetisson a new fitted frigate "ready to use" and then he could continue to have fun

Oh sweet, some developer must have traveled back in time and implemented this while we weren't looking!
I think it's called an Orca!

why does it need a new ship when a real carrier with cloak can do that job just fine?

My guess is they want to be able to use jump gates, not cynos, and the price tag of the carrier doesn't meet the "cheap" request in the OP.
That said, the Orca does already do what you want - unless you're roaming in Battlecruisers, in which case pony up the cash for an actual carrier and deal with it.
Not supported.

Orca cost 300+ m and is very slow i want something more able to follow the quick roaming fleet not something that will slow it
an orca 400k hangar can hold near 15 fitted frigate, me i want (to lower the price) something like say 100k to put 4-5 frigate in it
orca can do the job for a fleet of like 50+ guy
the ship i want would be for team of 10 guys or such

lol, you want something that can carry multiple ships and should be able to follow a fast roaming gang? you dont really notice that this cant work?
even a BS would fall behind after 2-3 jumps of burning. so the first ship you would mostlikely loose is the ship with all your spare ships.
that said ... a carrier seems to be the better alternative. it can jump directly to your position and bypassing all gate camps. once the carrier gave you the ships it cloaks up/logs off and you can continue your roam.
and i forgot to mention ... the plan with the orca would work differently:
1. scout orca with cloak to a good strategic point in your roaming area (e.g. through wormholes)
2. orca cloaks up/logs off in a safespot.
3. when ever you need replacement ships you log in the orca.
it helps if you scout the system to be sure you dont log the orca into a trap.

Seriously buy a carrier and have it cynoed in at a ôsafeö system or stop complaining that the guys you try to hunt kille some of your ships thereby ruining you perfect roaming gang.
In shortà. HARDEN THE **** UP!
PS. The use of an Orca work fine in WH

A full size carrier has only 1M m3 of ships available, how much do you propose a light version would have?
Add a slot and modifier module to freighters to allow them to haul 2x m3 worth of assembled ships (guessing the Planck stabilizer takes up a lot of room!)
Add a small (2x Frigates) maintenance array to Black Ops.
There is your solution, else use a carrier.
