Carriers still, maybe at slightly reduced profit. That would be my guess.

Aside from that, Rattlesnakes and VNIs are still popular even with Carriers being used a lot. Ishtars are still around, but not as much as pre-nerf. I still see Gilas quite a bit too, though also, not quite as much as pre-nerf.

Um... So NPC may target fighters a little more and fighters have a sig radius of heavy drones instead of medium ones...

Yeah People will be ratting in carriers. This is not a big enough shift to change that. It's not like fighters will have a sig radius of a BS or are the only things NPCs will target. Seems like stressing over nothing.

Since most people don't rat in carriers, most people will be ratting in whatever they are ratting in now.

Idk man the sig radius will make it near impossible to rat in carriers. LOTS of dead fighters. Not worth it.

considering the experience myself and manny others have had who actually went and tested this rather than having a melt down; people will be using carriers..... they still work.... just fine.... only place they have an issue is some high end WH sites

I've got fully researched Templar BPOs and mineral prices are cheap as crap. So what if a few fighters get popped. I've got close to 1000 waiting in station.

PvE is not that much of a change. A bit more recall and refueling, yawn. So I go from 35-40 Mil / tick to 30-35 Mil / tick.

PvP, on the other hand, is where we will see the effect of the increased sig radius.

My Carrier just sits in an Ore Anom and pops rats for my mining fleet.

... It will continue to do the same thing.

Nah not really dude you just have to keep them moving (read : you have to be good at carrier ratting instead of semi AFK) and not allow them to stop between targets. Have tested this on SiSi and have noticed only marginally more damage from rats as long as drones are never still Pirate

That's hard even if you are paying attention, Fighters don't attack on their own anymore, not sure how one semi afk uses them.

The spool down time on the main attacks are the problem. If a target dies mid cycle the fighters just stop until you can respool. These changes wouldn't be as bad if CCP fixed that nonsense.

It's amazing to me how everything is so hard for some people. In this case, adapting to a change in a thing that is only a few months old (modern carrier ratting) is imipossioble.

Fortunately, not everyone is so pitiful.
