I know a dread in siege cannot be remote repped, but... can a dread in siege remote rep a friendly BS flying around ?

(that may sound wtf, agreed. Still... thank you for help !)

I assume so. Only incoming effects cant be applied (apart from dmg and neuts ofc)

why the **** would you use a dreadnought for this when its explicitly what carriers are for.

You can.
With no bonuses, eternal pain and miserable amount of high slots to actually fit reps. If you want RR cap that is not designed for RR stuff, use Rorqual.

it would certainly make for a hilarious killmail when it gets popped.

I have remote dread whenever I leave my house for work on a Monday morning. Although the office is miles away, I still feel the terror remotely :(

Ok, thx guys for your fun but solid replies.

The idea was the following : in case of gank, I would have refit the Nag to remote cap (as it may as well be unable to hit subcaps) and capacitor modules in the lows/mids to use it as a pool of cap for our subcap fleet.

Even if not as effective as carriers, it would have been better than sitting uselessly. But... it occurs refitting is impossible due to the size of the modules that cannot go into the cargo. This would imply a hauler bringing the modules and a fragile mobile depot and ok... this is not going to work. ^^

sounds like you want a carrier mate.

Mmm... Can you fit XL guns on a carrier ? Blink
