Capital ships: Difference between revisions

From EVE University Wiki
Line 152: Line 152:
'''Carriers''' are capital ships with the ability to control Light and Support Fighters (frigate-sized [[drones]]). They also can store 1,000,000 m3 of '''assembled''' ships in their ship maintenance bay so pilots who lose their ships can quickly pick up a new one. Other ships from the carrier pilot's corporation (or fleet, depending on the carrier's settings) can also use it to refit in space.

Carriers (and their supercapital counterparts, [[supercarriers]]) generally serve as anti-subcapital ships. To facilitate this role, they have access to the powerful [[Capital Ship Modules#Networked Sensor Array|Networked Sensor Array]], which increases their scan resolution but removes their ability to use electronic warfare modules and disables their warp drive while it is active.

To facilitate this role, they have access to the powerful [[Capital Ship Modules#Networked Sensor Array|Networked Sensor Array]], which increases the scan resolution and sensor strength of both the carrier and its fighters but removes their ability to use electronic warfare modules and disables their warp drive while it is active.


Carriers are also able to equip [[Command Bursts]], capital micro jump drives, and capital micro jump field generators. The Capital micro jump field generator works much the same way as the sub-capital one except that the jumping carrier can take up to 5 capital ships with it in addition to the subcapital ships.
