With the introduction of carriers and jump clones and thier very groovy fighters it sparked an idea that this is where the next generation of ships could branch into.
Ships that sacrifice thier ability to use warp engies for additonal speed/weapon in thier class range. Just as Fighters do, but can be flown by players and configured with mods.
Cheaper to build more slots, faster stronger and more manuvaerable than any other ship from thier class.
These ships can be setup in and launched from stations, POS or carriers to add more bang for your buck.
Have 2-3 varients to start more added later
mabe somthing lighter than a frigate
Destroyer
Battelcrusier
All superior to ships of the same class but at a reduced cost.
Without a carrier these would be bound to operate outside of a POS or station as required.
The thing I like about this whole idea is that if this becomes popular we more liekly to see fleet battles fought to the bitter end rather than having lame fleets warp out after taking 2% casualties.
A few side ideas which should be taken with a grain of salt.
A Podfighters: basically your pod with a sleek hull much better engine and some guns or EW web scram etc, could possibly even be talored to fit inside a BS drone bay
Deployable acceleration gates
for use by non warp ships. deployed as twins one warps a ship to the other and vice versa.
Expanded warp field ships
Ship which are designed to drag other gang members into warp with them within a small range.

Unfortunately if we really were to do manned fighter play and do it right we'd have to change a fair bit of lore. Like make Interceptors actually anti-strike cract strike craft and not frigates on speed, and make fighters strike craft size (I've heard they're comparitively cruiser sized) as well as add bombers, joystick control, then you of course get into all the people complaining how dialup people can't play eve if there was a real-time space-sim flight mode.
It's a novel idea, unfortunately I doubt a pheasable one. :-/

mostly cause people see the word Fighters and want to know everything about it...
IE. CCP did a good job with this last patch... its going to be hard work but well worth it and it should help kill the many small corps idea if you really want to be of any corp in power... we will see the merger of many small corps and the forging of great alliances... some will rise to become a head and some will wither away... as I have seen of this game from the many alliances there is maby 1-2 that are capable of becoming as great ATM... ALL the rest are NOTHING... we will see a wave of change in the coming months.. new ships are nolonger needed but hey, everyone liks a new T2 BPO...

you, sir, are a hypocrit. I just started this game and reading these forums, and you seem to post junk like this. You're not a moderator

What I would like is to have corp mates on a carrier pilot fighters remotely from the carrier. Say a carrier can use 30 fighters. 30 Corp mates on the carrier could pilot those, if they die, no biggie, there no in them...
Great fun!
