Carriers

[Exploration]

Eh. Let's face it, everyone has a varied opinion and while a change would be nice - there is always a limiting factor that would make the ship less used and things worse than they already are. The Liberty Carrier for example, has two heavy slots and is massive. Frankly if you lose in a battleship, even a Light battleship then personally your aim must be broken. A Carrier is a -Big- target. With the exception of possibly the Rheinland carrier, but then nobody uses them very often in favour of their heavy battleship - again, a big target. Their anti-battleship strength isn't as good as say a Liberty Dreadnought for arguments sake. So really, the balancing for weapons is fine the way it is, in my opinion. It keeps a nice variation of ships to choose from. If you want to take on Battleships and other capital ships - The Liberty Dreadnought in this case can probably handle them fairly well with exception of lighter cruisers and gunboats. The Carrier can only really cope with cruisers and below because of it's many Secondary turrets so really, right now for the purposes of Support, if a Dreadnought and Carrier were in a team versus a variety of things, I.e Outcast Dreadnought and a Scylla. The Scylla would probably quite happily dodge the fire of the Dreadnought at range and it's meagre amount of secondaries wouldn't put a scratch in it, where as the Carrier has so many Secondaries the Scylla would need to stay well out of range of those. Point is I believe the weaponry balance is fine depending on the person flying it and the perspective you look at it. - Though as a side note it would be nice to give carriers some other purpose such as the AI fighter idea. But even WW2 aircraft carriers I believe, even though this is space, had some sort of Artillery cannon, in this case heavy weaponry which accompanied it's Secondaries (Flak, Secondaries etc.)
