Hi, I have an idea, and i know im not the first to have one, but i think its worth going over and even trying out
Where to start....
Carriers aren't a big ship, not too much bigger than battleships, while i cant say the same for caldari/minmatar battleships, the Abaddon is the size of a carrier, so... i was thinking, about allowing carriers to operate in high security space, via stargates.
Before you say no because carriers have some strong tanks that concord fleets have trouble defeating, i was thinkin also about adding in a concord dread to the response if a carrier gets criminal flagged, that and maybe even limit the amount of carriers are allowed in high sec system to like 5.
Carriers are slow logistic ships that arent exactly as big as most people think.
anyways, I think this is a good Idea, and im sure alot of people may agree, Carriers can make isk, cheaply repairing like battleships with capital logistics, its a great way to make isk, I believe this Idea will work, and I hope you do too, if anyones got any ideas to add on to help make this more doable, add away!
P.S. CCP please say yes to it!!! :)

The cost of a Carrier and the amount of isk you would make repairing doesn't seem to add up considering the cost of repairs in Starbases, and the availability of Armor and Hull Repairing modules on the Market.
Where, specifically, would you use this Carrier in HiSec, Missions? |

it would be a better way to transport them then risk getting them ganked by pirates their drones are its only weapons other then that its kind of a weak ship so i dont see the threat of having on in high sec besides concord will gank the ship in high sec in no time

Use battleship for that with lows and meds full of cap recharge and hi full of repairers. Pick the ship with room for 5 heavy logistic drones also. Works real nice. Carriers are fine the way it is.
You can not control POS guns in hi sec so no need to imbalance things even more by making it possible to use cap ships on them also. Second bad thing happening would be even easier logisticks. Currently you need to haul your stuff to low sec carrier base before you jump it out to 0.0 - that change would cut the hauling process and peple would start jumping their stuff into 0.0 straight from hi sec.
Bad idea.

Cap ships are not for carebears, its pvp toy ergo its not going anywhere near empire.

Uh me? no, to hide it, and admire it, i just gained the ability to fly the ship, so im pretty much just trying to fly it, admire it, while i train skills, without the having to worry about "Pirates" or people who think they are, coming out of no where in great numbers, and kill me, besides, the only missions that allow capitals are lvl 5, acceleration gates on lower levels do not allow capital vessels

If you want to fly it safely and admire it, fly it on Sisi. Don't ask for the game to be changed for such a reason.

If you can't afford to lose a Carrier, don't fly it. Or admire it from the hangar.
