I have been doing some reading about capital ships and well there are 2 that have caught my eye. The carrier, and the super carrier. Wow they look awesome, and I am sure that pve a motherships 25 fighters (max skills) will be awesome! The major making me sit down and think, is this...they are pretty expensive, and make tempting targets for gank squads. I would need need a support fleet, or backup. Also carriers are used a support ships, the idea of a pure combat oriented carrier is very unpopular. Too bad. I mean look at how carriers are used today. They project the military might of a nation far from its shores. It is one of the major compenents of America's military strength. In eve...they are big and have really nice looking designs...BUT....they are only repping other ships, and many carriers are lost because, if a tank can not be broken, you break the healer...so 1-3billion isk carrier goes pop!
I want to have 3 or 4 carriers, for pve in low sec, or wormhole space. I want more than one because I expect to lose some to gankers. I remember this this really cool dude in a .2 system, and how he used an Archon class carrier, and wiped out a small gank force of 5-6 battleships. It was cool cause I was able to salvage the wrecks. From what happened in chat, the battle did not last long.
I am well on my way toward minmatar carriers. I am in the 16 days away from drone interfacing level 5, I already have minmatar bs level 5. A very useful skill too! My typhoon is the best mission running ship. Higly durable too!
