So we have Faction fighter bombers right? To go with the sansha super. Why the hell dont we have faction fighters aswell? the drifters have sub caps with cap capability(drifter doomsday). maybe they built fighters to be launched from there sub-cap carriers.

I dont see why we have faction FB and not Faction fighters.

GECKOS ARE NOT FIGHTERS! before anyone suggests that, geckos cannot follow a carrier into warp. they dont benefit form the fighter skill. there for they are NOT fighters.

Fire away.

Lets have a Angel carrier with Angel fighters!

NOTE: I pick Angel because like Sansha, they have unique ships rather then copies of the empire.

THIS IS ALSO TRUE:)

Then again a rattle carrier fleet would sort of bring the old "finger of god" days back but then, still awesome

They get the side benefit for also being able to refit off each other. That could definitely help their survivability. Might be worth the cost.

for virtually the same cost you can get a carrier. They get the same benefits and have a much larger tank.

It was a tactic that involved assigning drones to a fleet member then going afk. It ment that all you had to do was have someone lock the target and everyone else could just check in on occasion. Fighter assist was the last of it and even thats gone. Not really sure how rattler carriers would be the equivalent but im more of a gila guy myself.

Well, people did fly Nightmare fleets even before NM rebalance. Back then it costed about the same as Nestors today.

Anyway, those of you who did propose Angels carrier, don't pretend that it's not for their typical agility and warp speed bonus, you dirty munchkins P

EDIT: That said, I like the idea. But gotta remind you guys that even Sansha only get a super rather than carrier.
