What about the wing man function? Cant you sit the carrier in a safe spot and send the fighters in as support for your attacking troops?
Sorry I dont have a carrier so Im just trying to figure out how they work as I work on getting one =)

Right on! great information. But my understanding was that you get the 10 drones from max skills and 1 added fighter for each level of small carrier. Large carriers get 3 added fighters per level. So I thought a maxed out small carrer pilot could control up to 15 fighters.
Of course lag is always an issue. Even more so when you get into large fleet engagments. I really dont see a way around that unless they break with tradition and go to a dedicated server for fleet wars. But I digress... What about the command mods you can use on a carrer. You dont have to be in th fight to add them to the gang right. Just in the same system.
The more I think about it the more I am seeing that a carrier is really a supper command ship with added fighter support. Yeah I would hide mine in a SS for the duration of the fight.

Yeah that stands to reason that allied ships should not need to be targeted to fix. But they are so what is the way around it? I guess you just have to add mods to the mid slot to stop the ship from being jammed.

Your battleships get attacked by small things; not only do you get a fighter on your tale but also a Paint Drone and a Webber Drone.
This would be nice but for one thing. You cant tell your drones (and you have to tell them) To fix your own ship. Silly hey?
Hmmm I can youtell them to fix each other? Put a shield and armor repair drone on each fighter hmmmmm.
Anyonw have load out for there carrier? I would like to know what you have done with them.

Cool ppl don't approve of capital ship setup discussions on this forum.
I dont see what cool has to do with it. But if it,s a tactical thing then I can see that.
Maybe thats why no one answered the question. Well at least now I know.
Thx... I think
