A good number of the people in this thread are being completely unreasonable. Some of you should act like adults instead of nitpicking minor details, avoiding important points intentionally, and pulling up archaic arguments (for instance, the fact that Sensor Damps will be nerfed in Trinity and shouldn't pose such a huge threat to carriers as they do now, and they are almost certainly taking steps to reduce lag). They aren't trying to completely remove the ships from the game, so don't be dumb and insinuate that they are; that is completely irrational and unedifyingly juvenile. There are a couple people in this thread who should honestly feel ashamed of themselves.

That said, it would be best for CCP to put less emphasis on the problems with solo carriers. A carrier with no support whatsoever - flying around like a big dominix - is practically harmless. Only huge megablobs of carriers (such as twenty, thirty, or more) are really a major problem.



There is a reason why, in Team Fortress 2, having a team of all Heavies or all Medics is a bad idea. There is a reason why, in Company of Heroes, training Snipers and nothing else is a losing strategy. All CCP is trying to do is induce that same kind of thing with carriers.

People say Star Wars Galaxies failed because SOE didn't listen to their customers and tried to make the game "the way they wanted it, not what the players wanted" or something like that, and try to draw parallels between them and CCP. I never played Star Wars Galaxies, but what I heard really happened was that they listened to the wrong players, the ones who wanted Jedi to be easily accessible, which made every other class not worth playing.

Maybe some of you should think about that, and post again when you can act like an adult.
