Supercarriers: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

A Supercarrier is a super capital~~-sized~~ ship that technically falls into the Carrier grouping for skill purposes, though due to its immense size and scope is considered by most pilots to be in a class of its own. Supercarriers are the second-largest class of ship within EVE, only outclassed by Titans. The role of a supercarrier is generally three-fold: Logistical support, tactical support, and anti-capital offensive capabilities.

Line 33:

Offensively, supercarriers are a powerful anti-capital ship asset. With a large number of fighter bombers deployed, capital ships take a brutal assault when swarmed by them. Carriers and dreadnaughts fall quickly to a supercarrier, while a similar supercarrier or titan may take longer.

In addition to the fighter-bomber support a supercarrier offers, the ability to jam large sections of enemy forces lies in the supercarrier's ability to fit Projected ECM, in the form of a Remote ECM ~~Busrt~~ I. This module can jam large numbers of targets within a range. This jam is equal opportunity, however, so friendly forces caught in the burst are at risk to suffer the same effect. Used wisely, this can disrupt a large enemy force long enough to destroy a tactically strong ship on the board, break cap chains, and even allow a non-capital support fleet to gain the upper hand in a combat situation.
