1. What do you use your carrier for? Name all the activities you use it for (ALL activities).
Ratting, Hauling
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?
I don't pvp with it, thats what my battleships/smaller things are for.
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?
Honestly i think a carrier should be able to take on more then a single ship smaller then itself. I have a few battleships that can with no problem tank 1-3 cruisers no problem. These said battleships even have gone up against a carrier and a mothership once. I tanked the carrier with ease and killed all of its fighters. In the end the carrier (thanatos) couldnt jump or hurt me so i got a ransom off him. the mothership had support of two other bs's, if it wasnt for the other ships i could have simply ran.
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)?
Hell YES, my battleships are worth more then a carrier and can absolutely pwn things, i expect the same outa a similar setup and cost in any other ship.
5. Do you believe carriers have too little (solo) firepower, too much, or just enough?
Just enough.
6. What do you believe a carriers role is?
being alone and without support so i can increase my wallet some.
7. Do you believe the carrier achieves this role through it's current abilities?
Yes, it makes a great target, as well as a useful tool for other things.
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)
Honestly like everyone else i would scrap it, build a jump freighter and perhaps buy another smaller ship or two.
