I am training an alt for the Hel of it Twisted This particular carrier can only use fighter/Fighter Bombers. My question is how many fighters can it launch at once? I have heard that carriers can use around 15 drones but I'm not sure if the same applies to Fighters. Also need the same question answered about FB if their is a number difference between the two. He has 4 more months to train so I'm just poking around for info atm. Thanks in advance.

A lot of people on these forums seem to think your alliance wants to risk a multi-billion isk investment on someone who doesn't know what they're doing.

The reason for the answers is that, particularly supercarriers, are a huge capital investment.
At least theoretically they are Alliance level assets and therefore reliant on lots of people (in practice they're often bought by individuals but...)

Such ships used for anomalies or missions by individual pilots tend to die messily, they're most effective when supported properly and for that you need at least a corp backing you up.

Given these considerations the Corp backing you up should be doing plenty of research into the capabilities of the ship and its limitations...

And given that information like this is easily obtained through 'Show Info', wikis or, in the last ditch, a quick trip onto Sisi it suggests that neither you or your Corp/Alliance have been doing this sort of research.

Therefore you cannot be ready to fly such a ship and have been informed of it.
