Unfortunately, Nyx and Thanny are 2 different animals. You need to decide which one you are in fact training for primarily.

Nyx IS a DPS platform.
Thanny, and all tier 1 carriers, are logistics platforms. Thanny does get 5% DPS modifier for drones, but if you triage, you can't fly them anyways, and if you just want damage, then a BS is cheaper and better.

Yes to T2 Triage. It will affect whatever carrier you fly, in case you flip later. And again, you should plan on being in triage if you get in a serious battle. (Station games, not so much.)

You're right about Thanny's ability to help mixed fleets.
The thing is, when most people do a 'planned' cap op, they don't organize mixed fleets..
Add the EHP and the Archon is the clear choice.

Personally, I am not against mixed fleets, but cap ops are not my area of experience, by far.


Edit here. Archon V for you, would also involve training Cruiser IV and BS V :( long time indeed.

Also, I'm not being negative in any way. Nice toon and a GREAT Gallente Carrier pilot.


After the proposed changes, won't those requirements change? As in BS drops to 3 - that shaves over a month off of training time -- dropping that part of it to about a week (though it doesn't change the carrier training itself).

I hadn't considered the upcoming changes when I posted, but dropping BS V from any Cap Ship training is a great time saver indeed.

In general, I like all the BS's at V any way. And if you fly a BS on a regular basis, I think most pilots could feel the difference between IV and V. Not so important for a Carrier specific pilot though.
