Well the prob is that we only have 4 members I'm the only fighter and the only one that covers them while mining and salveging. We're not ready for 0.0 but have tried .4 and the Carrier should be OK in that respect I'm not sure but I do know my Megathron gets beat up in low sec. covering them... I've lost 2 so far.
Just a quick heads up, Carrier in low sec will act like a maganet and attract any pirate from 30 jumps away. Best to avoid capital ships till you are used to living in low sec and how to survive in low sec.
Also low sec ore is currently worse than high sec ore, so best not mining there either.
So true. Infact I am sending one of my alts to Sir Algorn's location to keep any eye on you. Dunno why, when we hear "carrier" and "low sec belt" in one, we get very exited. Very very very exited. 
Get a battleship or a falcon. If pirates engage you, atleast you can save the miners.

Lord WarATron why the Falcon and not the Lachesis? I'm traned mostly in Gallente ships.
Falcon helps you break the tacklers lock and let your buddies escape. Arazu/lachesis affect locking range. But it wont work if the pirates are really close to your miner buddies(or people who you are trying to save). Thats why falcon is better. Falcon can jam multiple targets. Arazu cant damp more than 2 ships effectively.
Edit: Also its a good idea to get an alt capable of fly falcon and using ew, when flying your carrier. I know you said you are not flying carrier for a while. But keep this in mind, in future when you start flying your carrier, get a falcon alt. Damps are not that effective atm. And if you get tackled by 1 or two tacklers, you can jam them and your carrier and get away.
And you cant jump right after undocking. You need to wait 20seconds before you can jump. Just like you cant dock soon after jumping into a system. You have to 20seconds before docking. Cheers.

What about a cloaked fully loaded Ishtar with heavy drones?
Mining ships dont last very long under fire, especially its a tech2 cruiser or something bigger. Imo using an ishtar for protecting miners in low sec is not that easy/practicable. Relies on too many variables. If the pirate is in a tech2 bc or a bs, you might not able to kill him before he kills the miner. But with a falcon, all you have to do is jam that ship. Falcon works very well against all sorts of ships. Cloaked ishtar will take more time just to lock the pirate. So thats 30 seconds less time you have to save your miner. I would go with a falcon.
edit: damn you beat me to it.

I was just asking because it will take me 4 to 8 months to train up the skills for a falcon because I only have Caldari Frigate leval 1, it would only take a month or so for the Gallente ships.
You dont need frigate lvl5. just lvl4 and caldari cruiser lvl5. And some electronic skills.
