i was trying to think of a orca that could hold extra ships and fittings for those long roams

but i have found the orca not up to par with what i was wanting to do.
what i was thinking would be like a movable sub station for foward deployments they would have very solid tanks but be Very slow
and hold alot of ships. would have no way of atacking or repping and would




--some of the traits i could see being on the ship

-ship wake
the ship would leave a sign when moving thru systems or about come into one

-ammo hold
you can never have to many
-corp hanger
for modules
- matenince bay
this would be for mid to large scale fights that would alowe fights to contnue for much longer

-tank
somthing around the size of a carrier

-clone vat bay
for keeping the fights going

-wh effect modules
would give a wormhole effect once activated
these could be used on this ship to put a negetive effect on grid (500km around the ship)
or system wide but only able to use one at a time

i was thinking there would be 2 versions of the ship
1 a.s.s. would be smaller for high sec and lowsec
2 h.a.s.s. would be a lot lager and would be used for large fleet fights

this is just something i thought of because i saw a orca and thought what if

Who would want to fly a carrier with no offensive or logistic capabilities? "Hey guys, I've got q sweet idea for you. You get to fly a ship that make you the ***** of the fleet, you'll never get on any killmails and you've got a high probability of being hunted/primaried since you're carrying replacement ships?"

I think a pirate faction modified version of the orca or something like that would be more fitting. a bit of a tank, can carry lots of ships (maybe 1BS and a bunch of cruisers or 2BS) ammo, refitting capability (more than 10 people). it would be around the same price. similar skillset. maybe give a 1-2% bonus to all boosters. make it kind of a backbone style ship.
but one thing that would be very nice about this is that since it's an orca variant, it would be usable in high. I could see quite a few incursion runners would make you happy long time for this.

One problem I can see, the size.

Do you have any idea how large just the FRIGATES in EVE are???

Even one of the smallest ones, the Gallente Atron, is roughly the size of a freaking US Navy OCEAN FRIGATE!!!

Can you imagine how big your ship would need to be to carry a fleet?

It would have to be 10 times the size of the largest curret super carriers. AND you want no guns?

No thanks.

if it used the same skill set or close to the orca an indy pilot could be helpful
they dont need kms anyway
