Wouldnt it be more interesting if it was more like this:
http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=16457
start watching about half way through.
I think it would be sweet if capital ships were more like the ship in this video.
They would be alot more useful in actual combat + really awesome to watch and command.
Intercepter fighters going after enemy fighters, Short range intercepter weapons to stop enemy heavy missiles.
Right now I find capital ships lacking big time, Dreads are great for Taking down POS's, but thats about it, they are almost worthless in fleet battles... its not really a Dread its just A Really big Artillery Gun Built around a ship.
Maybe a new type of captial ships, The Combat Carrier... which would have heavy guns + fighters.
Not super guns like dreads but standard BS guns.
But able to hold alot of them, also give them a special Missile Launcher or Beam weapon, ment for taking down other Combat Carriers or captial ships.
Just an idea, dev's might already be working on that or have something better but i thought i'd mention it.

Only Issue I see is the possiblity of it becoming a solo slaughter house. As is carriers/dreds are fairly balanced while not being the end all be all of PvP. I just fear that what you describe may be a tad rough to balance in the game.

Well ..its not that i dont like the current capital ship, but it should be more powerful as its name and strikes fear into those encounter or even hear of them. So how about making them more realistic:
- More guns to match with their size and role
- Need more than one player to fully operate a capital ship... Like one controls all the gun on the left side and the other on the right side or
something like that.
Just my 2 cents.

I'm not sure how I feel about it. Truth be told, the ships in EvE are insanely large by most scifi standards. I mean, a frigate is not a small spaceship. The Merlin is over five stories tall. Dreadnoughts are larger than any structure on Earth, and the idea that they only have room for three or four weapons is fairly silly. A Titan is larger than a respectable Earth city, and could conceivably house a hundred ships' worth of turrets and launchers. It doesn't, though.
And that's probably a good thing. A single player in command of a battlestation worth of firepower would be entirely too beefy in EvE.

Line dread/carrier wuld be nice.
Capital guns are not overpowered. They have sig radius that makes them not very usefull even versus BS without a bunch of target painters. (not much more usefull then standard BS guns I mean). They don't have T2, named versions and 2-3 "tiers" per range type (rail/blaster, beam/pulse, arty/autocannon) that all other sizes enjoy. They don't have much use of superior range because BSes alreday hit about max lock range of 250km.
A line dread, with no siege mode, space for 3-5 fighters, 6-8 guns/launchers, no special abilities, small cargo bay - wuld be great :)
