Could you bring something smaller

I've been fiddling around with my EveHq ship editing tool and thought that an "Escort Carrier" style ship could be a possibility.
So far, I've managed to build what seems to be a well balanced, miniature carrier.


I've posted the spec I've been using below
This would be the Gallente "Hades" Escort Carrier

Gallente Escort Carrier:
10% Bonus to drone hitpoints and damage per level.
7.5% Bonus to armor repair amount per level.
1+ Drone control per level.

Role Bonus:
100% Bonus to drone control range.

Armor:
-Armor Capacity 25,000
-Armor EM Resist 50%
-Armor Explosive Resist 10%
-Armor Kinetic 35%
-Armor Thermal 35%

Capacitor:
-Cap Capacity 12,000
-Cap Recharge 2,200

Drones:
-Drone Bandwidth 250 Mbit/Sec
-Drone Bay 1,250 M^3

Fitting:
-Calibration 400
-CPU 625
-Hi Slots 5
-Low Slots 7
-Mid Slots 4
-Powergrid 9125
-Rig Slots 3

Hull:
-Structure Capacity 15,000

Propultion:
-Inertia 0.1754
-Max Velocity 70
-Warp Capacitor Needed 2.54E-07
-Warp Speed 2.5 AU/s

Shield:
-Shield Capacity 20,000
-Shield EM Resist 0%
-Shield Explosive Resist 50%
-Shield Kinetic Resist 40%
-Shield Thermal Resist 20%
-Shield Recharge 7,200 sec

Storage:
-Cargo Bay 2,500 M^3
-Corp Maintenance Array 695,000 M^3

Structure:
-Mass 150,000,000
-Radius 500
-Volume 1,250,000 M^3

Targeting:
-Magnetormetric Sensor Strength 22
-Max Locked Targets 12
-Max Target Range 105,000m
-Scan Resolution 65mm
-Sig Radius 600




It's still work in progress and I'm hoping to come up with some attributes for the other 3 races in the future.

Comment, constructively criticize, or make suggestions.
Hope to hear your feedback.

Updates:
-Renamed to Escort from Assault
-Removed Remote Repair Range bonus
-Increased Corp Maintenance array to 695,000 m^3 from 225,000 m^3
-Cargo Capacity Increased to 2,500 m^3 from 1,200 m^3


As for dps, it gets approx. 950 dps with sentries(Garde II's to be exact) with max skills. Don't remember if i had a sentry damage augmenter rig on it though.

At least you engineered stats. I didnt bother with that portion yet with my escort carriers and focused on the role much more.

Now then onto some light scraping questions.

Arent you afraid this may contest against the current carrier?

Also whats in a name?

Nothing about this 'screams assault' yet to be honest, If I saw an assault carier I expect it to fly in my face launch fighters at me so they can watch the assault carrier plow right into me and pick off any scraps left behind. Not stick behind and repair peoples armors.

But thats your idea just want to scrath the head up there see if any new ideas shakes lose.

Dust 514's CPM 1 Iron Wolf Saber Eve mail me about Dust 514 issues.

So basically a buffed RR domi? Lol

But seriously, what's the point in this? It'll just make neutral RR worse, since the high sensor strength renders it hard to jam and it can fight back if you aggress. If you can think of a good reason that it's needed I'm all for it, it'd be nice to see an expensive new sub(ish) cap.

Also, this thing would have to be kept out of incursions, mission sites/complexes etc. For obvious reasons lol.

You are absolutely right, Escort sounds much better than assault.
