Amarr Carrier 5% Armor resist per level
Caldari Carrier 5% Shield resist per level
Gallente Carrier 10% Fighter damage per level
Minmatar Carrier 5% Remote Repair / Xfer duration per level
Ok first off why excactly does Gallente get 10% damage when Caldari and Ammar get 5% resist. Gallente fighter bonus needs to be decreased to 5% to maintain balance. And Minmatar is the gimpiest one? WTF Give it a fighter speed bonus or something, not a lame ass duration bonus. Using those remote modules on a battleship you are going to do at the most two pulses. So level 4 Gallente carrier does 40% more damage with its fighters while Minmatar sends two cycles of armor to a battle ship 2 seconds faster? That is total bull**** CCP

To answer the first part, Gallente are drone specialists, so it makes sense.
But I don't really know how anyone can complain about carriers until they are actually built and used.
Until then, I think everyone needs to hold their breaths and wait and see.
Yes we all know that Gallente are drone specialists. But 10% per level is over the top. It needs to be reduced to 5% to be inline with Caldari and Amarr. And the Matari one needs changed all together.

Very well then, why not reduce the optimal range bonuses for caldari rail ships from 10% optimal to 5% optimal, because the percentage is obviously the only way to balance the game 
Make every bonus percentage the same in the game, and everything is balanced, right?
Grimwalius the point you are trying to make is understood. But you are comparing apples and oranges. See Jim Steele's post above.

Ah balance talks about ship's that have never been flown on the test server much less even started producing yet on TQ.
Glad to see Ships and Modules forum is still full of monkeys.
Thank you for your constructive comments and participation in this discussion. Monkey boy.

To all the people talking up the Minmatar bonus. Talking about repairing eachother, etc. That is not unique to the Minmatar Carriers - ALL 4 of the carriers can do that. Only the Minmtar one does it slightly faster. Big deal. Have you looked at the Captial shield xfer arrays? They do 2000 shield base per pulse. If you are safespotted and a BS warps to you for a boost, you are gonna hit him with 1 maybe 2 pulses, thats it. And remember - all carriers can do this. Only the Minmatar one does its second pulse in ~~8 seconds instead of ~~10 seconds like the other carriers.
This is not a respectable bonus, and it does not set it apart from the other carriers at all. Many of you are speaking as if the Minmatar carrier is the only one that can repair. All of them can.
To the guy above with his comment about grey boxes. No, I don't want all ships to be identical. But you are blind if you cannot see that one carrier doing 50% more damage then the others (wich results in 1000+ dps btw) is not balanced when compared to one that transfers shield and armor 2 fking seconds faster then the rest.

WTF are you guys crazy or what???
Fly one first and complain then if necessary... If anything complain about the battleships or the lag that is so "oh no i got wtfpwnd because blabla".
Play the game, dont try to design it
Its called trying to make the right choice - waste 40 days on Minmatar BS 5 or not. Personally I would rather raise the issue prior to wasting all that time not after. Actually flying one doesn't make a damn bit of difference. One of them has the ability to do 50% more damage then the rest, the act of piloting one isn't going to change that. If you wanna troll, do it somewhere else please. Thank you.
