I used to be part of a wormhole group and left the game a while back. I was training for a carrier to give our triage guy a break but left before finishing training due to my child being born.

Either way I have returned now and am about 10 days from being able to inject the racial carrier book...

Since the changes which carrier would you choose first and why? (PVE and PVP going to move to null I think)

Probably the first question you need to ask yourself, is armour or sheild?

Your second question should be, do I want to rep, or attack.

Once you have answered those two, you will have already narrowed your choice down to 2-3 ships.

first of all now you have 2 types of capital ships. Carrier and Fax (aka Force Auxiliary).
Carrier now are only DPS ships and can't fit anymore a triage module.
Fax are the new capital logi ships, able to fit the triage module.

from what you were talking about i suppose you should go for Fax if you are interested in logi duties.
in both categories you have to choose beetween armor and shield.

In my opinion Apostle (Amar Fax - armor) and Minokawa (Caldari Fax- Shield) are better respect the others mainly for their cap.
The other 2 fax indeed (gallente and minmatar) reach the "same" efficiency only through Cap Boosters aka they have a limit (cap booster charges) even though their hp/s rep is higher that the amar and caldari one.

As for carrier (from a pve point of view) i'd choose Thanatos (Gallente-Armor) and Nidhoggur (Minmatar-Shield) over the other options mainly for more dps/less tank.

that's all i think and remember that this is only my opinion, if you have spare time go on ETF or Pyfa and try differents ships/fit to see by yourself what fit your style.

welcome back to eve btw :)
