'''Carriers''' are [[capital ships]] with the ability to control Light and Support [[fighters]] (frigate-sized [[drones]]). They also have the ability to 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.

In PvP, carriers (and their supercapital counterparts, [[supercarriers]]) often serve as anti-subcapital ships. To facilitate this role, they have access to the powerful Networked Sensor Array, which increases their scan resolution but removes their ability to use [[electronic warfare]] modules. Carriers are also able to equip [[Command Bursts]]. Carriers can use space superiority fighters to kill the fighters from supercarriers, effectively removing much of the effectiveness of their larger counterparts.
