Try something like this in the lows:
1x navy cap power relay
2x navy eanm
1x dcu II
2x capital repper
1x explosive hardener
Why oh why would you opt on losing 33% cap recharge for 7.5% more tank, even less on avg, fighters and dreads hardly do any exp damage. Fit a second cpr, please.

scm > ccc (assuming isk isn't the factor)
No.
@ OP:
Setup looks decent, bit overtanked with too little cap. If you fancy the rr role, fit like this:
3x cap remote armor rep, 1x energy transfer in high, mids same, lows: 1x rep 2x eanm 1x damage control 3x cap power relay

Listen to Larkonis. He knows what he's talking about.
I'd try this for high slots though:
1x Capital Remote Rep
1x Faction Smartie
2x Faction Heavy Energy Neuts
1x Triage (spelling?) Module
Keep modules of different types handy though. One of the nice things about carriers is their versatility. I do run drone control units sometimes, but that's to make additional use of drones, not fighters. Those extra EV-900s or Heavy Shield Maintenance Bots come in handy every now and again.
With just one capital rep you wont be of much use.

I'd say a damage control is warranted on an archon when it's used with the following lowslot config:
1x(2x) rep, 2x (faction) eanm, 1x damage control 3x(2x) cpr
1x rep/3xcpr in large fleets, 2x rep/2xcpr with really small gangs.
I don't understand why people keep fitting carriers stupidly expensive, they are disposable as hell and T2 should suffice in nearly all cases. Another thing, the drone control units. They are useless, can we get over it, and not bring it up every single bloody time? Carriers lack highslots as it is, not a good idea to waste them like that.
Oh and, carriers need cap. Lots, and lots of it, and just filling your mids with rechargers will *not* suffice after you've horribly overtanked your lows.

Why put on an exp hardener? Carriers and dreads hardly do any explosive damage and you will be much better off with another eanm there. Also, in a rr fleet, a second repper is superflous. The more rr there is, the less significant your local tank becomes.

Was more a gang setup :>
As the OP said
Quote:
excluding piracy and larger fleet battles.
I kind of assumed that meant no dreads around ;)
Even then EXP damage isn't used much and you will be better off with an eanm. Do the maths, feed it into EFT, whatever, but you'll find that due to the stacking penalty, equipping a single hardener on an omnitank will only make it very slightly better, even moreso when the damage type isn't quite 25% of what you find in actual combat situations.

I can see it useful where your the only carrier and you become primaried because of the extra tank (EFT says 6700 tank on a nid with 1 cap rep), but has anyone actually used them in a real engagement? I don't want to go just off of hearsay and conjecture.
I haven't used it, but in the scenario's where triage would be useful (large fleets, protecting supercaps etc), those same hostile dreads posing a threat to your supercap could well pop a triaged carrier in minutes anyway, so whats the point? That, and pinning yourself on the spot for 10 minutes isnt a good idea with the limited range of capital remote reppers (51km at best)
