Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Hey Guys,
Had a crazy idea in my head and just had to share it and get some opinions, here i have done the layout for a Covert Ops T2 Carrier, now I have only done the Caldari Carrier because doing one for each race would take me too long but this is just a general idea for Covert Ops Carrier. So let me know what you guys think.

Name: Amphiptere
Hull: Chimera
Role: Shadow Ops

Shadow Ops carriers are designed for infiltration of large stealth forces behind enemy lines. Fit with a jump drive and a portal generator, they are capable of making special type of jump portal usable only by covert ops vessels. This enables them to stealthily plant reconnaissance and espionage forces in enemy territory. These ships unlike normal carriers do not have a fighter bay, they have an on board hanger that can carry Stealth Bombers on board,

Developer: Kaalakiota
As befits one of the largest weapons manufactures in the known world, Kaalakiota’s ships are very combat focused. Favouring the traditional Caldari combat strategy, they are designed around a substantial number of weapons systems, especially missile launchers. However, they have rather weak armour and structure, relying more on shields for protection.

Caldari Carrier Skill Bonus:
99% reduction in CPU need for Warfare Link modules
Can fit 1 additional Warfare Link module per level
100% increase to Covert Ops Hanger per level

Shadow Ops Skill Bonus:
Multiplies cloaked velocity by 125% per level
10% reduction in Jump Drive Fuel Consumption and Capacitor Need per level
Jump Drive can lock onto Covert Cynosural Field Generators

Note: no targeting delay after de-cloaking

no.

but what really IS needed in covert ops is a covert- like orca, similar to a black ops ship (that can't warp while cloaked) but has a large enough ship maintenance bay to support sustained covert operations and allow pilots to swap out ships.

It would have repair bonuses to make it useful in a combat setting.

The OP is a bit early, April 1st isnt for almost 4 months...

So...... What about this ships makes it a carrier? There is no drone bay, no bonuses to drones, or the ability to fit DCUs. It looks like a bad mix of a Titan and a black ops ship.

You know, even a ship with no combat capavilities can make a difference in combat. Et vice versa.
In short: your idea is stupid, make a better one.
In long: I support an idea of a JC2 ship with ship maintenance service. May be not ship hangar, to keep it supposedly small, but the fitting service and some expanded cargohold would be very welcome.

You can already do this with a regular carrier. Just fit a cloaking device to it and kill the cyno ship right after you land.

Oh wait... this would require balls. Never mind.

Im sorry not quite sure what your saying Hakan MacTrew, cause i cant see anywhere i have typed saying this ship can use covert ops cloak, and yes i know Black Ops cant use it either, so could you please clarify what you were pointing at? thanks mate :)

Clearly you sir have never met the might of the covert ops avatar, it exists I tell you!

Or atleast did, i'm not sure if the covert cloak bonuses of Retribution 1.1 made the covert ops cloak titan no longer do-able.


Also I have to agree with the general consensus that a carrier is a ******** idea, I think maybe a T2 varient of the Orca to fulfil a similar role would be good, maybe one with the jump range of the old Black Ops pre-1.1, which would make it a royal pain in the ass to move around, but that's the price you pay for such a strategic benefit.
