Suggestion to reduce the number of drones on field. Replace:

XX Carrier Skill Bonus:
Can deploy 1 additional Fighter or Drone per level

-> to ->

XX Carrier Skill Bonus:
Increases Fighter or Drone rate of fire by 10% per level

Also, Change Drone Control Units to a similar RoF improvement instead of "more drones". Side note: This may make those officer DCUs worth something.

5 base drones + 5 from skill + 3 DCU = 13 drones.
(5 base drones + 3 DCU) / (1-0.1*lvl) =16 drones

Why carriers need a buff? Also i'm not convinced that half amount of drones shooting twice as fast will be of any help in reducing lag issues associated with them.

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.
