' Wrote:As people here already mentioned, this is rather problematic in terms of it's purpose in the mod.
Liberty Dreadnought is great at fighting other battleships. So what should this be good at?
It can't be better in fighting heavy ships than Liberty Dread, because then we are in the realms of Nomad Battleship.
So it could be more "allround" = more light turrets, more sideways turrets etc, not sure if that fits for this rather "smooth/slim" feeling model.
Maybe you should stop considering it's role in PvP and start considering it's role in RP.
Carriers are not meant to be epic war machines, they're supposed to carry snub craft safely into range of the battle.
Although the concept of Carriers in Freelancer is flawed, since real Carriers are used when fighters are short-ranged vessels limited by their fuel. Fighters in Freelancer are long-ranged vessels, so the use of Carriers is questionable.
But from the carrier's role in RP you should be able to draft it's role in PvP. Focus mainly on point defense and not so much on assault.
