The order battlecruiser currently has 18 turrents
Can hold a battleship shield but it has not lvl 10 weapon slots.

I can fire 3 light morters and spam shield busters with energy to spare.

Not all of these turrents fire foward and backwords its a 360 degree rotation but i think
3 of the 18 slots need to be changed to support battleship weapons
seeing as how the bounty hunters get 2 on there battlecruiser
Liberty has 2 on theres

Why doesnt the order have lvl 10 slots ? but can hold a battleship shield ?

First: You've got a picture in there that's 800x286 pixels. The maximum signature size is 700x250.
Second: Your other picture in the rotation fills the full 700x250 boundaries by itself.
With an image that big, you can't fit any text below it. Please fix this.

Yes but only a little more then half of those turrents can fire front

Where as the bhbc can fire most of its foward A good majority of the order bc turrents cannot
I would like to be able to put flak on it to defend agianst nomad fighters but i cant...

Within rp the order is more Advanced then the liberty navy there for they should have better slots
and why would the navy have flak and the order not ?

Its an RP ship, its a CARRIER, its not meant to be up close and personal. its more of a support ship, its NOT a battlecruiser.

Beeing the issue minor is constantly being swarmed with nomad fighters on a non stop basis
i think a few flak turrents would be great..

Most other battlecruisers have 10 level 9 turrets, and 2 level 10 turrets.

Sorry but i think 6 cruiser turrets beats 2 battleship turrets any day. There is no change needed here.

The reason the carrier has a level 10 shield is because it is literally twice as large as any other battlecruiser in the game - in fact, it's larger than the osiris, which is considered a battleship. The carrier is a huge target, and requires the class 10 shield to survive enemy fire as well as the other battlecruisers are able to due to their smaller size.

I think the goal is to make you realize that, you bought a big ship, and exactly wasted that much more money into a RP ship.
I hate to say get in a fighter, but, yeah. It happens to be more effective.

It's a carrier, not a battle ship. It's not ment to be in the middle of combat. It's supposed to be rp'd more than pvp'd. If you go out to kappa or where ever alone in a carrier, then it's your fault cause in rp that wouldn't necessarily happen. Everytime I'm on my carrier I always have 2 or so guys in fighters with me. And the point of distributing the guns to fire in all directions is so that it can support the fighters and bombers that accompany it, they're not ment to be concentrated on a single target for too long. The Carrier can't win a fight against a battleship, against a cruiser maybe, but it's perfect for it's role.

I can understand im not a pvp whore by no means the ship is great don't get me wrong.
Ive had the ship since the new mod release ive had some time to play with it and find its
weakness and its strengths It's one weakness its its venerability to fighters it self.

If any thing give the order class 9 flak turrets the order is suppose to be more
advanced then the navy yes its meant to be support but the massive waves of nomad fighters
dampen that ability. The constant threat of bounty hunters in minor. its grat cap vs cap
Witch is what mainly the order deals with but vs bombers it needs some defense.
When those fighters go down and they do the carrier is left alone.

If it cant have access to class 10 slots it should have access to class 9 flak turrents seeing as how there
are guns that only shoot side to side. and they are pointless agianst fighters.
