well in eve for carrier your choice's are fighters and combat drones and ecw and logist drones well i would like to see drone bombers

i think a good way to do it is you have a bombloading bay much like a clonevat bay mod that mod allows bombers to reload that has a reload time better skills faster reload

there behaveiur would be much like a fighter they can warp and be set to be used by anther person but are much slower in speed and less agile and a biger sig raduis they would deliver there bombs like a stelth bomber would head towards the target drop the bomb and run and let the volosity do the rest and head back to the carrier and reload with the bombloading bay mod 1 at a time and you would have to fill the bombloading bay with the type of bombs u wont them to use much like a turret of a luancher and the same types of bombs in game already just smaller

there damage of drone bombs would be lower of that used by the stelth bomber and the accuracy would be with in 5k of target better skills would help the bomber tracking there more better accuracy so it would be mainly used on bigger ships and would less likely to kill smaller ships eg as there faster and could move out of the way

and could be used in pos warfair to send in bombers to take out pod sturtures

i would love to use something like that for my carrier and change fighers slightly so there better against other bombers and smaller ships and leave bombers to take out the bigger ships Cool

i am talking about some thing different by useing bombers and drone bombs and changing the role of fighters to be able to take out smaller ships and other bombers and puting in bombers to take out bigger ships with there bombs witch are less likely to get smaller ships

i preferred the idea of having little suicide bomber drones. 1m3 items that detonate on impact for the equivalent of twice the damage of a torpedo or something. a sub capital can only carry a limited number of them, but a carrier could stock lots of them.

Uhm, wouldn't that kind of further extend the already huge role spectrum of carriers? And probably even take away something from dreads?
I mean, it's not a bad idea in general. But perhaps carriers should be re-defined before their arsenal of usage is increased.

i understand where your coming from not to undermine the dread i was thinking more to redefine the role of a carrier and add more tactical play when using them eg not just sent fighters on raven raven warps out call back fighters and rinice and repeat

sending out bombers to bs's instead of fighters and fighters for killing bombers and smaller ships while dreads can still be the end all and be all of cap pvp and pos sieging

like using the same ammo types for drone bombers as the bombs already in game nos bombs lock breackers and so on just smaller for carriers so the diff bombs u use in a fight with caps could make all the diff

That is easy to solve. Increase Dreads dps by 50% :) PRoblem solved. Also no carrier will ever get close to a hostile dread again :)

I like what the OP is suggesting, basically, he wants to cut back the DPS of the fighters, so that it takes them a bit of time to melt through cruisers and threy absolutely devour anything smaller other fighters) then introduce a bomber with marginally to significantly more damage then the fighters, but are slower, easier to kill, and have to be defended.

so hypothetical fleet fight, three carriers happen upon a gang with stealth bombers, assault ships, an Onyx, and a few battleships, lets say their shooting outpost services. you drop in your carriers, the enemy fleet aggros you, you launch fighters, which go out and clear out the frigates, but can't rapidly the BS and Onyx tanks, then you launch your bombers, which fly in and attack the heavy ships, however, you have to keep harassing them with your fighters since the BS's will blow away the bombers if your not careful with them.
It could use some work, but overall, its a neat idea.

thats what i was getting at adding more tactical play to the carrier while not over powering it and useing the same bomb types that are already in game but smaller u could use the carrier to use the nos bomb and drain bs's and other ships and use support to take them out or lock breakers on other carriers or ew ships and so on

fighters aren't all that effective vs smaller ships to begin with, in fact, they cant even hit frigs, even if they arent moving. coupled with the fact that their dps with max amount of fighters wont even brake a tanked matar hic...

if they where to add bombers for bigger ships and let fighters take out smaller ships i think that would be much better
