Kill it’s fighters, then kill him. What’s a problem here?  
Maybe it take a bit more time. But carrier cant do anything against them.  
Usual pve carrier have about 300-500k EHP. Tanked have about 1-1.3kk.  
So, just 3times longer than here.

IRL 10 frigates would smash a carrier. Capital ships IRL sail amongst a squadron of sub caps for this reason.

2ndly carriers are not expensive in eve, a well fit carrier can cost the same as a well fit battleship. Blinging a t1 carrier is pointless, your raw hp is already absurd with t1 or t2 modules.

U are still using carriers lol they are trash u are better off with a t1 bs .After all the nerfs they are rly not worth the cost also wont get even a single kill if the small gang is decent . U understand that the ships are not balance in eve like the trig ships they are too much overpowered .just don’t use them complaining to ccp wont change a thing ,either use other ships or move on play some other game u like .

His fit is also terrabad, he could lose that to a single competent subcap pilot given enough time.

ok let me make it simple .If he had the right fit ,he would still die cause fighters are ■■■■ they would just warp out if they get primary while drawing his fighters away and repeating that would be easy to kill him .Capitals now have a new price .He is complain about capitals while he knew he didn’t stand a chance.u would rly easy kill that hecate gang with a tanky bs or something like that.

Just wondering where you’re getting those 1.5bn carriers. Prices have changed a lot lately. 😉

(And don’t tell me it’s 1.5b because that’s what you paid for it in the past - you could sell it now and get multiple well fit battleships for it. That’s what counts.)

Guess what happens to an Aircraft Carrier without Support Fleet in RL, when it gets caught with his pants down by 10 Combat Jets?
