As a Rattlesnake pilot with no intent on training for capital ships, I would absolutely love this class of ship. Maybe it could be taken one step further and like T3 battlecruisers, modified in a modular way, like choosing between a bigger drone bay or a small CHA; a remote repping power grid system or a bonus to shield regen etc etc

Oddly enough, I think this might be interesting.

Make the Orca the base model for a T3 platform.
Let the configuration that gives you the current Orca not require additional training compared to current.

Let people do things that makes them into combat support, black ops support, POS support, etc.

I would advise against jump drives, but the black ops support should be capable of having a blops bridge for it, treating it like the covert configuration T3 Strat cruiser equivalent.

Do you mean "The last two pages" ??

If you can't spell two, its time to stop posting.

When 21 out of 30 threads on the front page are sticky, bumping is about the only way to comments coming

If you don't follow the rules, neither will I.

I have been waiting for something like this ever since I saw that concept art in the contest.
http://kero40.deviantart.com/art/ESCORT-CARRIERS-COMPILATION-180571190?offset=60#comments
have it bookmarked and look at it regularly hoping CCP does something like it.
Please for all the love that is good, make this CCP.

and to those who say these will just be bigger afk mission boats, the new npc AI changes will nip that in the bud.

CCP plz think about this idea

I support:
+1 escort carrier
+1 assault carrier
+1 for jumpdrive and Fuel Bay
+1 one capital remote rep or shield only possible with cap chain
+1 more cargo to carry 1750m3 stuff for the gang (charges and ohter stuff)
+1 Drone Bay for 40-50 Drones
+1 assault carrier Drone Bay for 50-60 Drones and 5-10 fighters

Give these Carrieer a little ship maintinece bay with maximum 500.000 m3, to transport 1 bs and 1 frigates

On the assault carrier with level 5 the pilot can use maximum 5 fighters

Don't give them high sec access

I think this smaller carrier will help to bring carebear corps to low sec.

Ccp thanks for supporting this idea

i wonder if you have read the OP?
this concept has the idea of being a stepping stone between BS and capitals:
Loius Woo wrote:

Escort Carriers

There is a large gap in size, complexity, skill requirements, and combat power between battleships and capital ships. This large gap makes it difficult to have a steady progression from BS combat to capital combat and the fights tend to be either a BS fight or a capital fight. Part of this is due to the immobility of capital ships which cannot roam with the support fleet and must commit to combat by jumping. These ships also have an order of magnitude larger tank than BS class vessels.

To fill this gap, I propose the introduction of the Escort Carrier
*snip*

The escort carrier’s role would be to provide combat support to roaming BS fleet forces. They would have a tank that is roughly 1.5 times that of the average battleship, large drone bays, the ability to fit large rep modules, and can travel via jump gates with BS fleets.
*snip*


so, why du you propose exactly the opposite of that?
capital reps, jumpdrives and so on?

i like the original idea of the OP, but i don't see a reason for a new (just downsized) carrier with the same moduls and skill requirements as the ones we already have.
