Ships & Modules

You did forget it aligns at the relative speed of a pregnant bathtub and has the signature radius of new york, not quite a talwar yet but your getting there, verrrry slowly your getting there. And no its not immune to jumping if the **** hits the fan someone in a frig is going to tackle it and your going to have to lock it until next christmas before you can sick your drones on it

Not to mention the cost of capital T2 rigs, your out of your mind if you put those on an archon over trimarks or hardeners

Align time can be worked around but while I can see the rise of slowcat type carrier roams after this jump range thing I doubt it will be archons or einherji (which are a terrible choice of fighter).

Actually bloobs are already planing to use this kind ships.
They are harder than battleship doctrine , but you cannot bomb this , fighters can eat almost every thing.
Align time - remember that you can use mwd trick.
Those modules are to big to be refit.

Someone is camping 1j ahead?
Send cyno ship and use your jump drive.

Logistics? Each ship in the fleet is a logistics.

We are talking about doctrine that cannot be again stopped by any subcapital doctrine.
Yes until they refit to tank ( only DDA II in low ) they are less resistant to alpha shoots, but in case of dps , those are still slowcats using capital reps.

Of course you have in those carriers replacement for lost tackling ships.

Simple fix for any slowcat.
( and could be possible now )
Change Remote Capitall assistance modules Armor/hull/energy/shield.
Without triage they assist like Large modules , to compensate this add additional bonus to triage module - that compensate this.

This way slowcats will loose something that make them so OP - heavy remote repairs without needing of triage.

Yes we are talking about the tactics , fighters will be probably different on each carrier to do omni damage.
Those are carriers.

They will carry all possible modules on them to refit .
Those drone mods in med where only to point abuse of the fighters - as thanks to this mods they will travel at speed 5121 m/s

So they will able to chew all small targets.
Dictors / hac / battleships ... even some ceptors will be to slow to run from this ships.

You can easily do the same for dreadnoughts.
But for them you have to Siege to do proper damage.

Well you replace the dda with tank mods if needed.

....which again make the Chimera the worst ever carrier in EVE..

This thread has been moved to Ships & Modules.

I like your thinking about this OP, but there's a few issues to consider:

1. I'm wagering you haven't actually checked the markets for Prototype Hyperspatial Accelerator modules or Capital Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer II rigs. Exorbitant price aside, there are generally so few of them on the market to be had at any given time that you wouldn't even be able to equip a single fleet. The rigs could probably be invented/built by the fleet's operators, but the Accelerator modules are limited by BPC drops so you can't really increase their availability. This means using lower tier modules and slowing down your warp speed considerably.

2. As for align times, webs will work just like they do for freighters, but be careful trying this in losec unless your entire fleet is in the same corp. A bunch of suspect-flagged carriers roaming gate to gate in losec would attract the attention of, well, pretty much everyone.

3. Your slowcats will have only base recharge and no resist mods aside from a DCU. Given the nature of gate travel, it wouldn't necessarily be that hard to tackle a stray carrier on a gate (didn't warp all the way there and had to slowboat half a km or so after the rest of the fleet jumped), and stray carriers with your build would die horribly quickly.


I think you're on the right bath, but I also think you're dedicating too much in fitting to just warp speed. I'd say maybe 2-3 warp speed mods, then use the slots you opened up for cap, resists, and agility.

Well one of the issues with power projections where and still are NCPL slowcats or CFC boots.
I am just pointing that they will be still doing very well after this change .
Cyno jamers will no longer work.

CCP should also limit the concept of slowcat / boot fleet.

Modules / rigs?
Those where just examples.
You can get the same using mix of implants/ t1 Rigs and modules.
You will do it cheaper - using this setup i boosted warp speed almost to level of a destroyer.
Probably those ships don't have to warp so fast to be still faster than battleships.

Solving the issue that sits in slowcat fleet is very simple.
Reduce the amount of repairs you can get from remote assistance modules , while boosting amount that you get while in triage.

Thats the point.
Carriers need to have limit of their remote assistance abilities without the triage applied.
