My guess:
Race Bs level 4 (i hope)
Drone interfacing level 5
Jump Drive Operation level 1
Carrier Operation level 1
Something like that.

Caldari Drone Carrier. ummmm What kind of drone carrying missile spamming shield tank monster will that be?
Will probably need scout drone V and heavy V also.

TO tell the truth I dont think that drone carrier ships are all that good. They can be easily countered with a single Large SB. There goes the entire offensive capability of one big ship. That is why I dont like domis all that much. Without drones, it's dead, fast.

drones are really for miners protection, from small rats.
i thing carriers will need transport ship skills also

Well i've seen some very unfortunate battleships get eaten alive by dominix latching onto them like a limpit - the domi only has energy drain, energy neutralizer, extenders and hardners and repairers, stasis and warp scramblers. The drones do all the damage.

I think you don't realize that together with carriers more powerful and tougher drones will be introduced.
I doubt a single large smartbomb will even get through their natural shield recharge, so to speak, let alone actually destroy them.

Humm, in the dev blog they said it will play a role as a support ship aswell..so i wonder if it will ask for skills from the from the Logistic cruisers or some form of another. Wonder if they will introduce some XL mining drones :), looking forward to this new ship(s)

I don't think a large smarty will do when you have a swarm of XLarge drones coming at you

It's gonna be kind of wierd when all the races have an uber drone ship, not just the Gallente.
I forsee the use of them as giant lag-creators, wreaking havoc upon nodes one by one.

oh the laaag tacticsssss...
You'd then expect a 10min loading time when warping into an enemy fleet with their drones out.

Hmmm... It would be interesting..
Xl drones that would actualy be tier3 frigs and you could outfit them like a regular ship (+ atlest 2x the hp as a frig)
Would provide a LOT of diversity

Imagine 30 Xl drones orbiting you at 20 km with a mwd... 
I doubt Carriers will be all that useless.
I also doubt the carriers themselves will have many weapons, im hoping they can fit modules to increase certain things on your drones, like speed, repeair rate, firepower, tracking, etc.

BS5 that's all i want, don't care about the other reqs.
It's about time there was some specialisation when it comes to classes of ship. Or perhaps some other skill that will take just as lon (> 1 month) to train.

Well I hope at least we Gallenteans will have some sort of a bonus with drones, cause that really is the only thing we have separating us from other races ... Take drones away and you get cannon-fodder ships. So I think it's a bad idea this drone carriers for all races. It's kind of giving every race a ship with uber armour tanking and vast launcher slots. Drones are Gallentean and this carriers are just another step into weakening Gallente military force. We already have a lot of threads describing how Mega and Domi are inferior battleships, but at least they have something a bit unique. Now they want to take even that away from us. I say it's wrong.

This does not make sense at all. There is no reason to have BS5 as a requirement. BS5 should be left as a specialisation for people who want to be the best with battleships.
Specialisations should be along the lines of:
(For Carriers)
Drone Interfacing 5
Heavy Drones 5
Scout Drones 5
(For Dreadnoughts)
Trajectory Analysis 5
Weapon Upgrades 5
Surgical Strike 5
(For Titans)
Acceleration Control 5
Engineering 5
Energy Management 5
(For all 3)
Jump Drive Operation 4
Spaceship Command 5
Race Battleship 4
Then for each there should be a new skill like for example Amarr Titan, Caldari Dreadnought... and you need to get that to the right level aswell. In other words, I think people who have specialised in the right direction already should have an easier time getting into these new ships, but it should still be really difficult. (Cruiser 3 takes ~7 days for a noob, Battleship 2 takes ~14 days for a noob... Titan etc should take ~30-40 days (plus some to make it to able to use it WELL).
