Racial drone bonus is interesting.
But I disagree on all carriers needing resistance buffs. The Thanny damage bonus is its differentiation: it's a gank carrier, not a logi carrier. |

Then don't click on the Triage button.
Duh. |

In regards to k-space, w-space, or both?
Carrier KMs are great and I want to get more of them, but I do agree to an extent. |

You seem awfully set on only ever using a Thanny in Triage. |

Respectfully, I don't think that's a problem.
One carrier is superior in small-gang DPS, and another carrier is superior in small-gang reps.
If your typical gameplay isn't congruent with the ship you trained for, that's not CCP's fault. I suggest you jump it to station of the nearest L5 agent and list it on the market. |

Let's remove the resistance bonus on the Archon and Chimera.
Achieves a similar thing. |

Achieves a similar thing. Why, though? All it does is reduce their racial flavor. If you're talking about nerfing slowcats, you should be taking about reducing their sentry damage, or perhaps making a bigger loss in damage with full spider tanking capacity. There's no need to nerf carriers as a whole just because one way they're used is OP.
To be honest, I really don't want to see the resistance bonus removed. I just want to see OP's thoughts on the matter - because while they won't have a rigid tank, they will at least tank consistently. |

- Assign all sub capital hulls a drone bandwidth.
- Allow carriers to launch all subcapital ship hulls as fighters.
- Allow carriers to equip/configure each ship in its ship bay.
Proposed bandwidth mapping:
- Small drone > frigate hulls
- Medium drone > destroyer hulls
- Large drone > cruiser hulls
- Fighters > battleship hulls
- Mining drone > all mining hulls
This will carry all current balanced mechanics over. Before yelling OP, note that the carrier ship bay can only hold 1-2 battleships max. And likewise a limited number of other hulls. It'll also make popping them that much more rewarding when other ships pop out of it.
Carriers deploying Ishtars, that deploy Sentries.
Very balanced. |
