I am aware of that, and i think the difference is too big. Afterall on a carrier 90tf will also fit you ~3 drone mods. The difference should be reduced to ~30tf.

For illustration the following gains could be made between T2 and faction per mod, depending on item:

Armor rep local:
18-23 tf lower
18.75-25k mw lower
380-980 gj/activation lower
980-1920 rep amount higher

Armor rep remote:
10-12 tf lower
22.5-30k mw lower
150-550 gj/activation lower
-35-105 rep amount lower/higher
1300 m base falloff+optimal higher

Shield boost local:
70-90 tf lower
11.25-15k mw lower
380-980 gj/activation lower
760-1360 boost amount higher

Shield boost remote:
30-35 tf lower
15-20k mw lower
140-740 gj/activation lower
-50-150 boost amount lower/higher
1300 m base falloff+optimal higher

The range & rep or boost amount looks ok for the price increase, but the fitting and activation costs look pretty big. More so on the CPU where 30 tf reduction can fit a drone dmg aug on a carrier. Power is not so much of an issue i would say, since that is balanced for capitals. The CPU doesnt change all that much, and while i am sure relatively this fits in with other mods, because the numbers are so big the final result is somewhat overwhelming. Other new capital mods show a similar picture in fitting reduction with faction. If you use a few capital mods you can easily free up 100-200 tf cpu with faction mods (depending on armor or shield fit).

but these mods should be there to get a bit extra out of your ship they should not be required like they will be on the FAX if numbers stay the same

None of the carriers seem to have fitting issues now that CCP confirmed FSU are meant to stack

Well I suppose the Chimera needs one co-processor for a full on tank fit but it's really the fax that have fitting issues

I assume you mean they don't have fitting problems because it's not worth filling the highs with FSUs. In that case, wouldn't other options such as capital neuts cause similar fitting issues?

For one you should not be fitting an active booster to these things the active reps are balanced around siege modes and carriers lend themselves to a more buffer based fit.

Then after a velocity and mass change to the carriers the prop mods are now a joke and not worth firing to anything other than a mwd for better warp on travel fits.

While i agree that buffer will be used more for PVP with FAX support, it seems somewhat daft to balance the fit on a carrier just towards buffer. Allthough i have to say that it works pretty well. Active rep i think still would have a place in small groups and pve. As would the MWD/AB.

also a nearly minute long reload is crazy for carriers their dps is no where near high enough to warrant that
make it 2 seconds at most per charge these things also need to fly back from and to the target

so glad some one else sees how easy these are to kill no one would listen when i said in pvp using a chimera wont work as you will be out of fighters long b4 a thannatos is out of tank

Some assorted thoughts:

Please make the fighter ui button a lot bigger easier to see, soooooo many people are not noticing it.
The old figher bay fighter amount icons where better. (the previous version to this http://i.imgur.com/uQ3BEKM.png)

Fighter support units all have the same skill requirement.
Space Superiority fighters feel too strong they kill heavy attack wings without any chance of the SC pilot being able to react.
All heavy and light fighter wings should have the same volume, having them different makes switching awkward, change long range fighter volume to 1800 and Space Superiority fighter volume to 750.
Nobody will use support fighters they are not strong enough to be worth sacrificing dps for and thus the questionable bonus on carriers becomes meaningless.
Explosion radius on light fighter missiles should be increased they are too good at killing frigates, dictors even pods.
^this seems to have been balanced

Capital remote reps repair for less then large ones that makes no sense what so ever.
Active tanking out of triage/siege in pvp is a joke please fix.
Please add deadspace and officer flex hardeners other ways they will not be used on supers.

Burst projector duration could be longer.
Thanatos and Nidhoggur should get some more base shield and armor respectively their peak tank potential is less then halve that of the other two.
Gallente and Minmatar carriers an super carriers should get their niche reinforced further, more damage for gal more speed/agility for mini, to compete with the vastly superior tank of the others.
Minokawa and Apostle can get their cap from fitting lots of cheap recharge modules while Lif and Ninazu have to fit cap boosters it seems, but at the same time they have less fitting space.
Apostle is in a descend place Minokawa could use a bit more power grid and cpu and Lif and Ninazu need more fitting and a bigger cap booster bonus to be competitive.
Basically: The status quo of triage carriers has been carried over to fax instead of having been evened out.

Edit: the nidhggur does not have enough cap recharge to run 4 hardeners and a Networked Sensor Array

have you not been paying attention? they wanted to remove any and all chance of spider-tanking capitals so they made sure Capital RR is basically worthless outside of triage
