There won't be any difference between a Carrier and a Mothership!!
If this change nullifies the difference between those two ships, what's the difference today?
Motherships do more damage than a carrier.
Seriously dude. Witness protection program. Think about it.
If the reason for flying a mothership over a carrier is just that it does more damage, what's the change? It will still do more damage if it delegates the extra fighters it has over carriers?
Yes but it will be crap compared to other ships which are far cheaper to get, far easier to get and take far less skillpoints.
As someone else put it, you dont buy a ferrari to get it turned into a minivan (without a reason even).
Problem with Carriers and Mom currently is the fighter LAG. Not their role. Try maybe fixing the actual problem instead of thinking up a complex solution to something which is no problem in the first place ?
Otherwise go and refund all those billions invested in mothership bpos, carrier bpos, skillbooks, equipment and spend training time because thats certainly not what ppl signed up for when this stuff was released.
Back in the days when everything was still t1 and you could literally crosstrain to whatever the flavour of the month was within a reasonable amount of time you could change stuff in an eyeblink and pretend ppl would care about it because they could quickly train up the flavour of the month again. Nowadays it takes ages to get carrier 5 and fighter 5 (prolly 4 months just from 4-5) so dont exspect ppl to be overly happy if the new guy turns up with "last night in the pub i had a brilliant idea" kinda suggestions nullifying all this in an eyeblink.
As others suggested reduce the amount of drones and boost existing ones so we are on the same level. These ships dont need a new role.
P.S. RL analogies are always sucky, carriers also have other weapons and sensors and they dont need to jump via cynofields , through gates or can creep into pos fields. So for the love of god dont mention RL. Thats what ppl always get nailed for in Ships&Modules when they try to explain why something needs to be buffed or nerfed based on rl physics or rl values.
