I've been a huge opponent of this idea ever since the whole idea of nerfing BCs. Can we, for once, have an idea that dosn't in any way, shape or form involve the nerf of any more capital-class vessels for any reason other than testing?
The lib carrier, as stated countless times before, is a testbed. The server can only handle so many plugin-added NPCs, and in every way @DarkTails is right. She's a bloody fanatic on these types of things. Probably moreso than is healthy, but I digress.
Carriers are carriers because they're carriers. A battleship (with obvious exception to those who are designed with duel purpose, ie Valor/Redemption) isn't in anyway a dedicated strikecraft platform. I'm sure by now even you are aware of the potential that bombers are capable of. Having a ship that can carry a load of these inRP into a fight against a force that, I'll remind you, is literally a flat slice of bread, makes a load of sense.
