If a ship is a command ship it should be a support ship at best unless you have a flagship type setup other than that I sorta like the CC in my opinion it does need more fighters or give it 6 fighters and 2 gun ships(new heavy fighter) as so it can defend its self currently i use my CC to build as to not get ganked by kluth lurkers. and thats all it really is now a larger engineering ship.

Suggestions for ICC CC

1. New ship model the mickey mouse design is old please give us a new model.

2. if it is a support ship then it needs a scanner so fighters can be launched from far away.

3. fighter jump drives so carrier canm hang way back in safety and harass with fighters.

4. 3 layers of defense 4 arc shield system 1 uni-shield as an aux 4 arcs of armor.

5. heavy fighters that can cause pain to dreads. Fighter torps or something or give bombers a dual role of anti capital ship if launched towars ships instead of planets their bombs do cruise missle damage(would be awsome)

6. Make carriers the Dread Level anti fighter ship by giving them a flak ability or An AOE that slowly damages and destroyes fighters in range of the effect.

7. give fighters hit points they should be imo about half as strong and a corvette.

8. bring back Dn Wormhole devices.

9. carrier support skilles already planned but one suggestion You might as well make the NEW AOE fleet skill a combination of all the adv enhancements to all ships in range.

10. my idea generator is broken more will come one day

I understand that the CC is the ICC command ship, but wouldn't making it the best carrier in game in terms of fighter and fleet potential be stepping into UGTO's domain of fighter superiority?

I do acknowledge that the CC is underwhelming atm, but consider this:

If UGTO got a missile command dread and it was better than the ICC MD there would be a problem. The same applies to UGTO and Carriers.

I'm willing to bet that fighters are going to be improved soon, and then both the Agin and CC won't be UP. Also would give a reason to choose Carrier Dread over BD.

In my opinion the CC could be improved by adding a repair drone.
This would enforce the "behind the frontlines support" aspect of the ship and allows it to help with ammo and small repairs when plats are out.

friendly dreads should get negative buff by comman aura

I think I would prefer the auras to only affect ships of smaller class than the ship origin. So command dread with aura will only help ships below dread size.. might help with getting people to fly something else than dreads.

I mean if I was a captain of a station or dread I would be OFFENDED if a dread came and tried to boss me around so friendly dreads should get negative buff by comman aura

since command-auras are planed, why not something like that:

commandships (all factions) have almost no weapons but (really) strong defence
mining beam+build drone and some free points for faction specific stuff (eg fighters for icc if you want)
+ they have a moral-boost-aura affecting all nearby friendlies

moral aura gives +10% defence, +5% repairspeed, +10% damage for all friendlies within 2000gu
but when the ship dies, all affected ships get an equal mallus for a minute

this way the ship have a important role in a group, and the strong aura will force the group to play together
