Years ago when Yogita, and I moved out to null security space we heard people mention these "dreads". So we both thought that dreadnaught class capitals would spawn in anomalies. Imagine my dissapointment to learn that they are just slightly beefed up battleships.
Now fast forward some years to the Citadel release.....yes ladies and gents, CAPITAL spawns will show up in your anomaly. Yogita and I, like usual were flying carriers....like a boss. We learned the new fighter mechanics launching 27 fighters. For the first time in EVEONLINE Carriers...feel like CARRIERS!! Before this release, a carrier was basically a large ship transport, that could use drones, and fighters. Fighters sucked years ago. They could only really hit battleships, and battlecruisers. The damage output was crap too.
Then they buffed fighters, and they were...so so. Then Citadel came along.....and now...we have CARRIERS. You can launch 3 squadrons, in each there are 9 fighters with 8 missiles under the wing. Along with the cannon fire, the special missiles pack one hell of a wallop!
Time for pictures:
So we can see that this one had a bounty of 60,000,000, it dropped about 70mil in loot. It took us about 8 minutes to kill it. We have maxed fighters, and Amarr Carrier 5 just for reference. I am going to tweak this fit cause I want to be able to take down the super carrier spawns as well.
As you can see it hit my Arcon pretty hard, later in the fight it switched to Yogi's carrier, and I was able to repair. It can also drain capacitor as well.
/TATA!!
