I am sure there are other posts about this though I could not find any in my half assed attempt to find one; but to the point. They need changed, as are they are nothing more than carriers tht cant be jammed. One of my chars flys and nyx and thb I am really thinking of selling it, I never get to use it. OTher than a moible mini base its just a waste. So, does anyone know if they are "being looked at" by the devs, have they said anything about changes?
A mini jump portal or built in gang bonus simular to but less than the Titians bonus.

I think the bonuses should be modular, kinda like T3. You can rig for 3 of these:
- Open Jump Portals
- Operate jump clone bays
- Offer gang bonuses similar to titans
- Hostiles-on-Grid Penalty (perhaps opposite of above)
- Logistics bonus
- Able to use Remote ECCM
- Able to act as a cyno? (without beaconing)
However, this is only part of fixing the problem.

I asked at fanfest, and no, they had nothing in store for supercaps in the (near?) future.

MS suffer the same problem as field commands.
The motherships themselves are quite excellent, able to fit good tanks, wield many fighters to reign death on nubs and get that nice ewar immunity (not that that means much with hics, ecm burst etc..). This is the same for the field command ships, good tank, good dps, v. nice ships.
The problem arises with competition, its all about cost.
They have much cheaper counterparts that still get the job done ie. MS: carrier for pvp, rorq for jump clones etc, Field command: BC fills its role entirely (just not quite as nicely).
I reckon reducing the cost of production may help, or giving them better roles, bonus's, buffs etc would also work (for both F-CS and MS).

100% Damage bonus
+1 Tank slot
Immune to standard EW (Apart from Dictors/Hictors)
for an extra price tag of about 13 billion isk? (not sure on exact build cost from Carrier to Mothership)
Sounds a little far out to me back when they were totally immune apart from Bubbles yes but now no.
I think they need a better fleet role to prove their value, something not already provided by their capital counterparts.

I'll bet you a nyx that any other ship would fetch more than a 13 bil extra sum for those very attributes.
A nightmare that is EW immune with an extra mid and a second +100% damage bonus? For 14 bil?
A CNR with the equivalent of 18.6667 launchers? Oh and another mid.
A vindicator with a seventh mid?
A guardian vexor with 20 drones and 6 lows?
A...
really, it's cheap. It's regular carriers that are too cheap. Parrots, commence!

Carriers are too expensive when a fleet of logistic ships can do the job cheaper, why bother flying carriers?
Actually we should just all fly fleets of noobships, collect our isk from mission running until we have billion of isk that we do nothing with. 100 noobship pilots are more cost effective than flying a battleship anyway.

Carriers are to cheap. That's the problem. They should go for at least 3 bil. Also Dreads, up their price 300% aswell.

Unless they either massively increase their rr capabilities or increase their base hp ten fold, not much is going to change..

I don't really see how moms need 35-55 million EHP to be effective. I agree their RR capabilities need to be boosted. I think this is an issue with both logistics modules and the mom's lack of any real advantage at RR'ing over a carrier.
The cap boost and effective cap recharge boost would help some. The change from 50%-75% rr range per lvl adds ~20km to transfer range (or maybe take it all the way up to 100% per lvl?) and a 50% RR cap usage reduction should effectively double its RR abilities. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Brought to you by the letter ARRR!" |

Try thirtyfold, with fittings. In the event of an emergency, my ego may be used as a floatation device.

He is saying to threefold the price of carriers.

I have always found it odd that Carriers are less expensive than Dreadnoughts considering that they are both T1 ships, Carriers take longer to train for, and Carriers require a higher rank skill to fly than Dreadnoughts. With every other two ships under those conditions, the ship with the lower-ranked skill is less expensive to build. -------------------- "I am hard pressed on my right; my centre is giving way; situation excellent; I am attacking." - Ferdinand Foch at the Battle of the Marne |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but... aren't motherships able to lock stuff from inside a POS shield? Isn't that a huge bonus on its own, to repair POS defenders without any fear to lose the ship? At the same time you can assign 15+ fighters, depending on your slot layout.
Range bonus to remote reps wouldn't hurt though...
But if I was wrong about the locking inside shields part... nevermind :)

You're wrong about the locking inside the shields part.
