Hey,
I decided to make this guy a carrier pilot (only got 4.8 mil sp right now) and am about to finish Galente BS 5. I was wondering a few things... What skills/mods should I go for aside from the skills to fly a Thanatos and use fighters. I assume 2 capital armor repairs/ 4 hardeners on low would be a good idea. When it comes to mids and highs i'm lost except for having basic knoweledge of gang modules (energy transfers etc). I'd also like to know about many SP it will take before i can fly one (based on any skills i'll need with the basic "fly a carrier and use fighters" skills). This is also assuming that I have done nothing but learning skills and straight for carrier skills.

To be honest if you need to ask this, you are far from ready to pilot a carrier.
Start with small ships, go fight and get experience. Then when you know the answer to those questions, you'll be ready to start training for it.

Already flew about the nicest Navy BS i could ask for on my main... lost 6 bil to PvP (Wouldn't want to go out any other way). This is an alt, and I am ready for somthing bigger and more overpowerd :) . I've never been in a large alliance so haven't had any carrier pilots readily available to talk to. How exactly would i get the answers you are talking about flying a loner BS?

If you go to the ship modules sticky links, scroll down some to the replys and you'll find a Carrier FAQ :)

That's kind of a silly thing to say. I'm also in the same boat as the OP, sounds like he's being honest about things and doing research before getting into one. We all have to start somewhere and like the OP i'd rather get off on the right foot. Asking on the forums is the less expensive approach to finding out what has proven to work. _______________

iwant to start training for it soon.
all i need to know is, can you fir a mining laser on it and/or a mining drone in the bay.
im hoping to keep it in a nice .9 system with quite a few belts and afk mine 1x a week for a few hours.
had my cnr parked in a .5 with 1 belt flew out there to mine and guess what the belts was empty of roids.
need to really plan this when i get a carrier

Nope, no turret slots. You can have a lot of mining drones out though.

You can't really get carriers in 0.9, it used to be possible to build them there, but this is no longer possible. Carriers are 0.4 and lower only.

Actually, no, in the game itself you can actually have more than 5 drones out. Go and test it, you'll see.

I really want to suicide attack you for being the biggest carebear I have EVER seen Mining in a carrier in 0.9?! _____________ The day I receive my first moderator forum-sig hijack is the day I realise I have won Eve.

On the other hand, if you have to ask this, you shouldnt fly the ship.
And, testing in sisi is also cheaper that finding out in tq what is gonna happen in a combat against your carrier, i do that often -----------------------------
