Carriers

[Prowler_Renamed]

Carriers in the traditional carrier role serve absolutely no purpose in this game. There's no element of surprise to having a bunch of snubs docked on you, since the enemy can just check the player list to find you and your buddies in the same system. Most of them (minus the Geb) are just sub-par battleships, like the LAC. BS vs. BS wise, it's a Dread but worse in every way imaginable.

Giving it repair guns won't work because they're too slow, and generally the snubs and whatnot can just fly to the nearest allied base and restock, because NPC bases tend not to get uncloaked on and absolutely ruined.

Battlecruisers have the slowest turn rates of any ship class in the game, and if the LAC was turned into a battlecruiser, it'd be useless.

There was something about a teleportation feature, but I don't know how that's worked out.
