Some people specialize in derailing threads to their personal interests. Best to just ignore them and hope someone else brings it back on topic.

This should likely be in Suggestions/Ideas forum. Carriers don’t seem to drum up a lot of interest since the last round of changes - few players hate them enough to complain, players who had them still find the occasional use for them, and most players have moved on to other classes of ship from what I can tell.
