Sub cap carriers/drone boats

Kudos to the Devs for expanding Carrier options.

One thing I would like to see is a sub-cap carrier/drone boat based off of a Orca or a Torrent-type hull maybe even both. One is a battleship type and one is a combat command cruiser. Utilizing flights of drones instead of fighters. DPS maxed out at the high end of the battleship range. Maybe 5 flights of 2 drones each or 3 flights of 3 drones.

Also while we’re at it, an Orca should be able to control two Ice drones. I mean a Porpoise can handle one.

We should give the Orca +2 mining turrets as well.

I’ve been thinking it would be great to have an entry-level fighter ship to teach players fighter mechanics.

How about a fighter-based T2 battleship that combines medium combat capabilities with the ability to pilot a single light fighter squad?

We still have a third battleship hull of every faction that requires a T2 version, this could be it.

No need.

The Orca has far greater drone mining yield bonuses, mining 30% more ice than a Porpoise with that single drone.

If you wish to bring mining boosts and mining turrets together, try the Outrider. It’s a nice hybrid miner/booster and my favourite booster these days.
