Wormholes

In makes sense to me, that having capital ships in C3s if made ourselves is not an entirely absurd idea. Most people will probably read that and flame me, for the rest of you I have the following inquiry. Dread or Carrier? I know carrier is likely to be the better choice, keep in mind we have plenty of tengu pilots and I wouldn't be alone in doing this. With a carrier, I could solo sites as long as our tengu pilots are on to back me up if things go south, I would be aligned to the POS and we would have eyes on all exits before I would leave POS, and I would probably only do it if there are 3 or less exits. That said, I can fly a revelation in 17 days with all the capital mods, and I have an alt that can fly a tengu, I was thinking if I bring the two, and have the tengu web and paint the battle ships and let the dread take battle ships and maybe cruisers, that it could work. The carrier will take almost 75 days before I can fly it and fit all the capital mods, this is why I am even questioning it. If it were 17 day vs 17 day I would probably pick the carrier. We can afford to lose the dread if it comes to that, but I honestly think it would be fairly safe to do.

Why? mostly because it's fun and would make the game more fun for me. But I think it would speed up sites, and I could handle the hardest C3 sites no problem between the two ships. some of the harder sites are hard to do with only 2 tengus. maybe possible, but definately harder.

Opinions please. The real question is, Dread is 17 days? or just wait out the 75 days for the carrier. I am choosing one, even if you think just use 2 tengus is a better option, you will be ignored if you suggest that.

And then you will have cleaned out your home hole in one night and your expensive cap will sit in the POS doing nothing for days at a time, if not weeks waiting for new sites to spawn.

Looking for a use for your expensive toy, you will take greater risks, such as shooting the POCOs. Then this will happen and you will be :sadpanda:.

get a c4 and a carrier, carrier can rep POS shields and mods if you're sieged and a dread can probably solo an enemy tower

for PvE in holes lower than c5, get a carrier, no point in a dread at all

with the siege timer and the webbing requirement, a carrier will work much faster with sentries (and webs)

you can also use the carrier in pvp, dread in usual c3 pvp is completely useless

Only reason to build a dread in lower class WH is for system defence, knocking down hostile POSes if they put one up and blapping sub-caps if they bring a BS fleet to bash your POS. For PVE its a waste of time and you'd need a good support fleet to complement it for that one time you might get to use it.

Caps "totally" make your WH unsiegeable no one will ever camp your hole for weeks just to get at your caps i mean seriously

If you build it, HK will come.... To blow it up...

People don't kill capitals because they actually mean something (though that's a point for debate in wormholes)

People like, and strive to kill capitals, because they're big, humans enjoy destroying things larger than themselves. It gives them a sense of control in the utter chaos that is life.

It translates to eve well, especially because of killmails, seriously the only thing better than a fishing story is a website that tells the story for you.

Hey OP what's your J-Sig i dont ask for any particular reason...

I once saw a Chimera in a C2 Wolf Rayet....

I nearly cried for the caged beast.

Jamming Chimeras... Hit Triage and start spreading the pain... also pfft you dont have to worry about getting counter jammed.

I actually like this idea a little more than is healthy...

I'd argue that a carrier in a C3 is a statement of defence and ownership. You have the capital advantage, and are willing to invest to protect your hole. Using it to run sites would be risky, might as well paint a nice big bullseye on the side of it. Having two would probably make you less vulnerable, but complete overkill for the sites you'd find in a C3. Best kept for fighter assignment, and POS defence imo.

The only advantage of Dreads that i can see would be to use against anyone that manages to sneak a POS in. Big investment for something that may never happen.

Then there is the obligatory arguement about if captials make you more or less likely to be attacked. Because everyone wants a carrier kill. Everyone. Personally, i think the added hassle a carrier creates would make you less desirable to the random attacker. You'd still not be safe from people with a specific aim tho, such as people who want your hole, or any who's mum you've insulted.
