The Carrier Update

[Knjaz]

Carriers? Useless?

Well, first, they have best Fleet Fire Support role there is. Comes in handy, from time to time.
And they still have more cargo space/docking bays then usual ships of their class, which helps with docking module/jumpdrive combo's.

Outside of these 2, they're not that good, yes. But hey, Liberty Dread is a horrible fleet fire support ship too, same goes for Valor.

....give carriers more missile ammo, this will boost their fleet fire support.
Give them more slots/introduce heavy slots that allow GBs and freighters to dock on it.

And introduce Outcast/Corsair carrier-class ship (mentioned that in other thread, but meh). They can make most use out of it with their ZOI.
