1. 2. 3.
I think the carrier should be durable enough to not get destroyed vs small gangs. Solo damage output should be moderate, the 5 fighters at a time sounds about right. To unleash full potential, 2-3 support ships should be present.
4. Do you believe that you should be able to kill a large amount of ships simply because you spent a lot of money and skill time for the ship, regardless of it's designed role (this does not just include carriers)?
Yes, but isk and sp should not correlate with pew pew potential linearly, they should increase exponentially.
5. Do you believe carriers have too little (solo) firepower, too much, or just enough?
I think they have too much solo potential. I'd like to see CCP go ahead with their proposed changes to force some variety and teamplay, and then perhaps boost fighters somewhat.
6. What do you believe a carriers role is?
Currently logistics and support. I think the support role (repping and assigning fighters) should be emphasized, particularly if there's a jumping freighter in the works to take over the logistics role.
7. Do you believe the carrier achieves this role through it's current abilities?
Yes, although I'd prefer it to be less of a solo ship and more of a gang ship. And by gang ship I mean that there should be one carrier for every x ships, not that everyone in the gang should be flying one.
8. What would you change about the carrier if this drone change came into effect? Increased Repair Range? Increased Repair Amount? A Triage buff to allow control of the 5 fighters/drones you're able to deploy? The ability to control 5 additional fighters/drones if Triage Mode is activated? Less Cap needed for self rep/remote rep? (add what you believe would be a change worthy of the suggested drone change)
Possibly improve fighters slightly. More importantly though, I think we need UI improvements to make assigning fighters more manageable. On the gang window, display how many fighters/drones each person is currently controlling, or at the very least add a new broadcast button for requesting more fighter support.
