Hey wouldn't it be cool to have a carrier that could use fighters, but was small enough to use gates and didn't have a jump drive? Make it cost about as much as a BS and able to use like, 5 fighters, or 10 t2 heavies. Also it should tank twice as much as a BS.  |

Escort/Mini Carriers have been brought up a few times on the forums, It is a good idea, but maybe either flesh your idea out a little more, or post in an existing thread.

I'll just point you to here, here or here, depending what model or paintjob you prefer.
Also 5 fighters are not much better than 5 bonused heavies, and in many cases they're much worse...

I second this idea. More drones then five drones. A triage module maybe. Bonuses to shield transfer and armor reppers, crap like that. I think it should cost six hundred million or so and be more skill intensive then a battleship. Give it like 600k ship hanger space and fitting abilities. Call it a strike carrier or something.

carriers ARE strike carriers - the Moms/Supercarriers came first.
Not supported because this is a redundant role.

In real life you have three bands of carriers so why not in eve.
IRL carriers
Strike carrier 12000-30000 Tonnes
Carrier 30000-60000 Tonnes
Supercarrier 60000 Tonnes+
Strike carriers just seem like a more mobile but less powerful class of carriers. I think it should not have ability to launch fighters but have ability for 10 heavies at carrier 5. As with their larger counterparts main purpose is RR and moving stuff.

sooo...you have trained for fighters, have the bs 5, and you don't want a real carrier because....?
Being larget than a bs, it would have horrible align times akin to say orca (the only capitalish class not jump capable right now beside freigher) , you would take this on a low/0.0 gate because....?
Or is this a subtle I want an empire carrier thread? No dreads in empire or super caps. this carrier would have no natural predators to kill it quickly. Bury in NPC corp, eat the tax rate but avoid decs and for an added bonus would need a gank squad from hell to pop. No, the domi not working for you dps wise...learn those t2 guns you been avoiding. Got those and not enough, maruaders or machariel generally don't get complaints about lack of dps lol

I thought it was
Super
Light
Escort
Or, if you go by roles, like Eve does...
Fleet
Anti-sub
Helicopter
Light
Amphibous Assault
