Player Features and Ideas Discussion

What gets me is how stubbornly insistent you are that this is a good idea. I have seen A LOT of bad ideas on these forums but yours is about as awful and misguided as they come.

For moving large quantities of goods between HS and NS we already have a Jump Freighter. Your transport variant is a glorified JF with the ability to hold assembled and fit ships.

As somebody with numerous friends in Black Legion that depend on carriers to deploy where they want I am promising you that this in no way would prevent blobbing. They would use the transport variant to move things to their staging system and from this location be titan bridged into combat as needed. The combat carrier would jump in on its own as needed and at the end of the day you have caused no more than an inconvenience in needing two ships for what is rightfully the job of one.

I am trying to keep this polite but the fact of the matter is based on your idea, justification and reasoning for the idea, and your response to the criticism of others regarding your idea I have come to the conclusion that you are bad and furthermore an idiot.

This thankfully will never happen because while CCP does have a less than stellar track record regarding major decisions this is a level a pointless stupidity beyond even them.

But by all means keep pushing your "Summer 2014 - Carrier Split" in your signature, on the forums, in local chats. Do so and keep being told how wrong you are. And maybe one day a little light resembling intelligence will pop on in your brain and you will realize that maybe, just maybe, they have a point.

Not to mention that fuel costs are pocket change to an alliance big enough to need to worry about jumping half way across the galaxy for a timer.

Yeah no.....

this is an idea that was born in rage over the fact you (and possibly your fleet) were tea bagged by a group of carriers. Not only that, its just not a good idea because:

-there is nothing new about your idea
-carrier mechanics were already changed partly with concerns similar to yours in mind
-ITS NO A CARRIER IF YOU NO CARRY!!!
-all of these "carrier varients" already exist you just need to address them as Capital Ships not "Carriers", Combat= Dreadnought, Logistics= Carrier, Hauling= Jump Freighter.

Sorry to bust your tear bubble but... This game is not about fairness; if you cant handle it go play another game that values a fair fight (DODA, or warcraft) and please stop trying to alter an already perfectly imperfect game.

kthx

WHY??
A carrier hauling ships to a battlefield is at best hauling "replacement" ships. They don't have cloning facilities so can not just jump in somewhere and suddenly have a fleet deploy from the Ship Hangar.
A carrier filling his Ship Hangar with Hacs and T3's, then jumping into combat - PLEASE I want on those kill mails.

I'm not a member of PL or an alt or any other way connected to them but I agree with RoCkEt X.
Carriers have a place and do what they do pretty well.
What they aren't is the "I win" ship many perceive them to be. They take good piloting skills and judgement to move about in space and even more on a battlefield.

While the idea of a carrier/ freighter with jump capability, that can carry assembled ships in and out of highsec is not a bad one. It is not a good enough idea that the current carriers lose any capabilities they have.
