Carriers: general discussion, updates, & suggestions

I just hope that Carriers will have the same starport guns that starports have and are invincible.
Imagine the griefing if you could deny Carrier access or even destroy them. Thanks but no.

That's how I see it going.

I suspect that Carriers rev1 will be susceptible to attack but then instancing problems will mean that ends in tears.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that phase of the process has already been completed and was the reason why they were removed from 3.3

Later on, when FDev finally decide to "grasp the nettle" and get the job finished, they'll just make them indestructible so they can't be affected by instancing problems.
If they do make them indestructible, I hope they will, at least, fit them with various hackable doodads so that there'll still be a reason to attack them - in order to either disable them temporarily or to get them to drop "stuff" that they're carrying.

We shall see.

They better not put out carriers before that focused feedback thread they told us to hold our suggestions for.
