Wait, i can remember we had a thread about same idea some years ago…
A Carrier with Fighter is not more than a big Ship with better Drones …(remeber it ? some time ago ?)
I fact, you Need a Orca with more DPS und 400k Tank and no jumpdrives …
oh wait… a orca is not realy cheaper than a cheap carrier…
and… you can fly a Carrier with BS lvl 3 … so if you like you could fly a carrier with 40Mio SP…
Orca will Take 30Mio SP …
So … a Orca in a Escort Carrier role is not realy wanted… before we get one of these carriesr, i want to have a Mining Dread with Capital Mining Strip Miners …
