Well, rename it to LN Battleship or something else, Carrier class not a combat ship but support.
LN Carrier can't destroy RM BS. It is nearly impossible because Atlantis firepower is not enough, Overlord have more firepower.
Atlantis only good at destroying cruisers because of 20x Secondary Turrets
Battleship turrets really not needed for Carriers
Overlord actually better at taking down RM BS and RM Carrier

The Geb however? It used to be a battlecruiser, it should be turned back into one to be fair, there was no RP backing why it was changed, it was just done after the entire Toledo event a few years back.
Agreed, but as I highlighted in shiz's post can anyone explain WHY the geb got the changes it did?

Repair guns only repair capital ship hulls, not snubs. You can still dock to your carrier
they are not THAT slow as to want to waste time flying back and forth to a base. especially if you are out in the open.

Having another ship that's capable of doing damage is much more useful than a glorified repair ship, though.

Then why not just get a battleship instead of a carrier if you want more damage?
It's like saying in FPS games that the medic should not be played since more fire power is better.

Erm, Titan. The Lib carrier can take out an RM BS easily enough. You can even take Valors head on and win if you know how to use them.
Personally, give carriers cruiser long range heavy weapons or limit them only to bs razors and then give them all permanent docking modules (That means none tradable...) where you can allow snubs to resupply from your bats and bots stash.

Exactly my point. If you get a battleship instead of a carrier every time because it's more viable, then what reason do carriers have to exist?
Name me an FPS game that has bases you can dock at to fully heal and get regens to heal yourself 2-3 times over.

Do they give you enough health to hold yourself 3 times over?
