So, I was kicking around this concept for Carriers and Supercarriers after the nerf to make them more of a strategic asset.

A mineral hold. Hold on now. This mineral hold would only be 5km3 (10km3 for Supercarriers).

What you can do with this mineral hold is that a corpmate or alliance mate can 'dock up' with the Supercarrier or Carrier. While 'docked' with the supercarrier/carrier, a ship can repair its MODULES AND DRONES that are on board. Docked is as per standard corp hanger rules, gotta be within 2.5km, etc.

The reason byehind this is to allow more "raider" style operations for Pirates and Null Sec wars, with ships having the ability to overheat without fear. I'll leave doctrines to whoever wants to come up with them.

Carry nanite repair paste instead?

Unlike Nanite Repair Paste, you can just cram in minerals and repair pair like you would at a station. Also, repairing at a Carrier would take 10-20 seconds - rather then Forever like it would with Nanite Repair Paste.

Gonna put it out there right now: I have not used Nanite Paste other then "Drag Nanite Paste to damaged module. Wait."

Also, Rule of Cool.

repairing with nanite paste takes about the same amount of time as it would to dock, repair, undock etc.

This doesn't seem like a change that is particularly likely to be made, at least not while the game has other features providing the same function.
