well - the carrier, when 4.85 was released, was mostly an average but rather large battlecruiser... one might say... a weak RP ship.
i don t say that i m not happy with the added power ( cause i am ) ... but by buffing it up.... it did of course become more attractive. - so yes, it is one of the most powerful ships that is publicly available ( in its shipclass ). - before... it was merely average or a bit below average.
at the same time - most BHG warships were nerft down. - they all had 360 degrees turrets in 4.84 - and now they got logical arcs ( which means, they have less firepower ) - players that only care for stats will of course check out other ships.
Im rly sick of seeng so much small ships around..i mean come one,we need to controll this...u cant just get a starflyer and start flying around...or Nyx,or Titan,or Sabre....Like 50% of the non-cap-ships are tagged police
and have generic ID(and im not starting to talk about equip)...
U cant just demand cap-ship controll.Thats not the Issue.The Fingers behind the keyboard are.
So Yeah,im a Fighter-whore!(same as capwhore,just alot cheeper).
PS:
Most of the cap.ships are purchased not cause of the faction they been produced,but cause they look so sweet.

The issue isn't about fighters here - You can't walk into the middle of new york and pwn everyone around you in a fighter - whereas you can with a capship. That is why things which are meant to be RPed (carriers, Bships, capships in general) need to be cut down on. I have seen many people who have not much RP sense (myself included, but I don't think i'm that bad) who utter smilies and "lols" whilst in their capships. This is a BAD thing, and sets a bad example for the new players on the server.
The whole BHG spaming cap ships thing became a major problem when people started owning heaps of fighters with them. It then became unreasonable to own a Liberty capital ship higher than a GB, and unethical to send OC cap ships to NY and Liberty.
And now its becoming a bad thing to have an order cap ship. :(
I like capital ships and I dont want to see them dissapeer forever..they juice up a fight and when propaganda is limiting the most powerfull factions capital ships from being flown....there is basicly no point in them.
I say that people should be able to have whatever ship they desire, for the right price. And that price my friends is the ability to control themselves and use their capital ships wisely.
Capital ships are great but soo many people get sucked in to their big guns and big hulls, maybee thats why the light carier is so addictive, its MASSIVE, even bigger than the Osiris! :D
I just brought a light carrier today and I am reconsidering a replacement for it, (maybee a bomber). I...must admitt that I too have been once sucked in by capital ships...I had about 10 characters in caps and about 1 in a fighter. Then one day I sold every single one including my prized OC battleship and only kept three. A rouge GB, a liberty GB, and a soon to be deccesed carier.
Do not make the same mistake I made by buying alot of caps!
Ok, ive finished my rant. *takes breath* goodnight people.
Lets have cap/system restrictions for factions which binds all order/indy/bhgberty etc alike with forced circumstances.
Like: Order HC (which binds all indy or Order| alike over RP) issued only 1/2 cap craft to 100 or Minor or Alaska or whatever, any secondary ship must leave. Else, it will be forced to decomissioned or forced to leave (dunno, perhaps fining credits or something)
Only an idea, really trying to come up with a solution...
' Wrote:The light carrier only costs *** mil (since it is classed a cruiser) and have a ** shield and ****** in hull
and ** turrets, it is the cap spammers dream (no need for *** license).
This man has right...the "light" carrier is the cheapest way to get hold of a battleship shield in the mod=>attractive ship. Oh, and the users seem to think bombers are cruisers...
It's really funny as Carrier is definitely weakest against bombers/fighters. I can't run from them (as it can from BS) and it doesn't have effective weaponry to fight back... at all.
So 5 Order Carriers fighting 5 Nomad bombers.... guess how it must end.
