EVE General Discussion

A Nimitz class aircraft carrier is the most potent individual ship on the planet, outside of a nuclear missile fleet sub.
The purpose of a aircraft carrier is force projection, which is the same role as a supercarrier in Eve.

A Nimitz class aircraft carrier does indeed have defenses against almost any other boat that floats on or below the surface of an ocean. But they SO MUCH MORE vulnerable when they don't have 2-3 Los Angeles class subs, 4-6 anti-sub and anti-aircraft destroyers, and a Tico class command ship/missle cruiser sweeping the seas around them.

Without that protection, a single diesel-electric sub MIGHT be able to cripple a Nimitz, with a couple well-aimed, lucky torpedos. That same sub would have zero chance if the Nimitz detected it before the sub could fire its torps.

The same concept should apply to Eve.
Consider your Heavy Interdictor example.
The Heavy Interdictor cannot kill a supercarrier by itself. It can possibly pin down the supercarrier.
Now, if the supercarrier had support ships with it capable of destroying the Heavy Dic, then we would have a more reasonable situation.

I would like to see a ship out there that has the same capability as my diesel-electric sub scenario.
Imagine a ship class that has zero chance of killing a supercap, but something that would have the ability to approach by stealth, and have a small percentage chance to cripple the supercap IF, and I repeat IF, the supercarrier has no smaller support ships.

Imagine a Black ops class BS that could fire a weapon that has a percentage chance to kill the jump and warp capabilities of the super cap for say, 2 hours. Plus the said supercarrier COULD NOT LOG OFF GRID for the same time.
