Carrier ratting is still more than viable. Adapt your techniques.

In addition I like to go around and scan for combat sigs. They give some variation on the endless anoms

EVE is not stagnant. Find a way to make your ship work the way you want it to.

Problem that my ship does not want to cooperate and work together..

So my ship refuse to work way i want it to work


Loosing fighter every / every second anomaly killing every reason to rat in a Carrier (sending pretty much over a year training in to the trash)


CCP is good at killing ships people love

Always set fighters to orbit may help, I have heard.

Maybe some reading instead of writing can also be an answer:

Quote:

The spool down time on the main attacks are the problem. If a target dies mid cycle the fighters just stop until you can respool. These changes wouldn't be as bad if CCP fixed that nonsense.


I'll let you all in on a little secret


Lock everything up
F1 fighters on first target
When it reaches structure, hold w and select the next target
Fighters will go orbit the next target while finishing off structure
Rine & Repeat


Fighters will take negligible damage and will stay moving a majority of the time

Well, I've tried that and what I don't get is, why my carrier starts to orbit most times I do that and not the fighters. That's very annoying. A "fighter orbit hotkey" would solve this.

Another thing is, the fighters die much too quick. I use the Thanatos and have decent skills, even with the 20% HP bonus, my fighters die almost instantly. This happens mostly in Havens with the last wave. The Cruisers die and all Battleships start shooting on the fighter squad. Boom, insta-pop, one fighter down.

Any tactic on how to solve this?

No one likes goons. Even NPC. Leave your aliance and you will be ok. You are supposed to be mining in rorqual anyway, aren't you?

Sorry, for trolling ;)

What about using target painter to get BS agro?

2 anomalies * 30m/anomaly.
1 fighter (assuming 1/9 dies every second anomaly and the drone is T2) -
============================================
50m / 2 anomalies gotten. still viable just bring replacements.

To orbit with ur fighters u need to have them all selected (blue circles around them) and have them orbit a structure or just next target when ur killing current one

been ratting all day yday and today 0 losses only doing rock havens and sanctums

Oh noes.

No more carrier afk.

Meanwhile Drone ships are still laughing at NPC EWAR for a decade.
