There's been a lot of quiet regarding T2 Capital ships.. so I thought I would put my thoughts over.
For T2 Carriers, I thought about having them do soemthing they usually DONT do.. and that is to perform in direct combat.
Cue the 'Avenger' Ship class.
Avengers are carriers that have decreased fighter control capability, in return for heightened defenses, as well as Capital-Class Weapons Hardpoints.
In order to make room for the hardpoints, the hangar and corp maintenance bays had to be removed. Some space was retained to make dedicated Ammo-Stores.
Example:
A Thanatos that can onyl control 8 Drones, but May Fit 2 Turrets.
Remote Rep/Transfer array bonuses instead are changed to weapon bonuses. Mainly TRACKING SPEED.
Avengers would be able to attack other capitals and battleships with similar effectiveness, but cannot use seige or triage modes.
Avengers would, however, move a little faster than most capital ships.
Dreadnoughts:
What do Dreadnought pilots get to do.. Jump, Siege, shoot POS/Capitals...
*Snore*
Annihilators are dreadnoughts that sacrifice their drone ability, as well as seige mode for more tactical flexibility.
They have greatly enhanced trackign speed and scan resolution, at a loss of drone bandwith, and damage modifiers.
They would be able to effectivley target and fire upon enemy battleships, and to a smaller extent, cruisers, at a penalty of having less brute damage than a dreadnought, or siege tanking.
Well... these were a couple of mad ideas fromt he back of my mind.. hope you liked them. Ciao

That's somewhat unbalanced seeing that it hurts the Moros alot more than let's say.. the Phoenix?

if you are going to do t2 carriers, I would think that you should make them an extension on what we already have - t2 resists, move the deployed fighter bonus to the t2 carrier skill, give them more highs for gangmods/logistics, and make them have a much bigger ship maintenance bay, so they can act as a base behind enemy lines, to this end perhaps allow them to be jumped about by black ops portals.
Another possibility is giving them a covops cloak, a MUCH larger ship maintenance bay, a few less tanking slots, and so they become very specialised as behind enemy line bases.

There's been a lot of uproar over changes to the T1 versions though. Maybe get those right first before expanding on them?

i think they need to better define the tech1 variant of the carrier better before even considering a t2 variant. Im not sure having a more agile Dread would be a good idea. All i see happening is rather than a blob of battleships flying about it will be a blob of t2 dreads. Capital ships should be the best at what they do. Carriers / MS should be the best at drones and dreads / titans should be the best at dealing damage. But they need a weak point, something that requires them to have an fleet of smaller ships with them.

Takes out roles of other similar ships = bad idea.

bringing caps in the game in the first place has already cause mroe issues than solved. dont you want mre warfare!?!?!?!? instead of capital blobs?!
