Carriers, the poor mans cap, well relatively anyway.
They have a fairly important role in logistics (ie moving things around, that kind of logistics, not remote reps etc) so maybe that role needs to be expanded further.
*The following is an idea, it is not in anyway refined, so it would require significant balancing to implement*
Logistics Module - High Slot, Effect of the module not removed by offlining, must be unfitted, cannot be unfitted in High Sec
Decrease Drone and Fighter DPS by 75% - Maybe not severe enough not sure
Decrease logistics modules effectiveness by 75% - Again, severity?? More/Less
Unable to use jump drive
Cannot enter deadspace pockets, activate deadspace gates, or participate in missions in any way
Increase Corp Hangar, Cargo Bay and ship maintenance bay size by 50/100% - Too much/not enough??
Add Ore hangar of maybe 40,000 m3
Finally the main point of this module - Can use jump gates, however only gates that enter or transit between high sec
It would allow carriers to assist in mining ops in high sec, move high value cargo, and simply be placed in high sec, if say your alliance is ejected from Null or such.
Maybe a Fuel cost for using a gate, as an extra balancing measure??
Any thoughts then??? |

So basically you can't unfit it at all because you can't leave highsec to do it.
Fair point, hadn't considered that, ok so they can jump out to low sec from high sec, but not from low-low, low- null, or null-null etc |

Why would i fly a carrier? Just fly a dam guardian..... would rep more than your dam carrier........
Also, your nerf would effectively eliminate any ability to rep BS fleets in large fleet/super cap engagements thereby making the nerfs CCP just made to supercarriers and titans meaningless.
Eh?? |

I Accidentally YourShip wrote:It's obvious that the OP wants something resilient like a Carrier to support his mining and other high-sec operations, as the Orca is rather fragile for a "capital ship" to say nothing of an exhumer or non-freighter industrial.
Exactly, that and they look awesome

my advice? leave highsec.
Well, yes want a carrier, no not scared to leave high sec, I'm quite happy to throw my ships into low sec/WH/null tbh, its only pixels after all, just I'm in a predominantly high sec (at the moment) corp, and it would be handy in general. |
