Not really a 'monster carrier' persay. It's just the old carrier with more weaponry, same amount of fighters, just fighters are a bit tougher now.
But it does have a sexay new model.

It sucks if you use it for a combat ship. Its soul purpose is to defend other ships that dont have the slots to give up for PD. Say you want to protect that AD thats taking hits from those missiles...step on up in an ED and protect its ass....
Using it for an assault ship is highly unadvisable as its not equiped or designed for combat.

Trekkie, keep in mind, after the beta discussion, ALOT of us ran over to beta to check it out. This was like 5-6 new Carriers, with a few other of the lesser ships.
So don't expect that to be a total occurance.
Another thing, in the screenshots, we barely made a impact on earth doing that cloud bomb thing. Only one structure got destroyed. Small planets are easily taken by that tactic though, but earth was simply to large.
