2. How much support do you feel you should need when you field your carrier for combat when going against a gang of 3? A gang of 5? A gang of 10? A gang of 50?
3: 3+ guys
5: 5+ guys
10: 10+ guys
50: 50+ guys

3. Do you think you should be able to go 1 vs 5 and win? How about 1 v 10? In other words, how many people do you believe you should be able to kill alone taking ship types into consideration. How many BS/BC's/Cruisers/Etc?
Maybe 1 vs 3 at the most. Carriers are logistics boats not BBQ mobiles.

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)?
Nope, just because I spent alot of time training for my Hulk, that does not mean my hulk should BBQ a huge gang of pirates with my stip miners. Specialisation does not mean I can kill anything that moves.
(T2 logitics boats need alot of training, those are not killing machines, why should a capital version of them be killing machines?)

5. Do you believe carriers have too little (solo) firepower, too much, or just enough?
Solo, cant say as I dont fly one solo. I would not risk it.

6. What do you believe a carriers role is?
Logistics. Fighter assignment as a secondary role.

7. Do you believe the carrier achieves this role through it's current abilities?
Yes and no, if it could be supported by energy transfers from gang mates that would aid its logistics abilities.

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)
If I could play with the stats I would actually reduce a carriers DPS and increase its tank in direct proportion. Be that through a resistance bonus, a repair bonus, or even an extra low or mid slot. That way it could stay in the battlefield and help gang mates through logistics, and at the same time not be such a liability due to its tank.
(I have not tried Triage yet ... I am training for it ATM)
