A lot of carrier pilots seem to think this change will be the absolutely worst change ever in Eve. I would like to know why you think this change will be so terrible after answering a few questions.

1. What do you use your carrier for? Name all the activities you use it for (ALL activities).

PvP and moving ships

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?

As much support as it takes to kill that gang, Carriers are support ships already, they do not fare well against small gangs solo.

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?

There is no answer to that, every thing, every ship in this game is counterable baring sensor dampeners for the most part.

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 and no, that's an unfair and biased statement directly trying to field a particular answer that can be twisted to fuel an arguement. Same question could be asked about a hac vs frigate, but how it's received would be different.

5. Do you believe carriers have too little (solo) firepower, too much, or just enough?

There is nothing wrong with any particular carrier... although remote repping networks in larger groups of carriers is a pain to break... smaller groups not so much.

6. What do you believe a carriers role is?

Support on the battlefield, the way it is currently. But predominately, fun, which remote repping/assigning fighters is not.

7. Do you believe the carrier achieves this role through it's current abilities?

The carrier is fine the way it is, nuff said.

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)

nothing, it'd quit the game or a less likely option of never use a carrier again. At the very least, i'd have no reason to pay for 3 accounts anymore as 1 would serve me just fine.

I'd appreciate it if people would answer the questions truthfully, honestly, and accurately. Thanks.
