Hey, I was just wondering if the Federation might be getting a carrier too in the progress of the next season. Canonly speaking, the Federation have used carriers before both during the war of pacification with the ISC during the late 23rd Century and the more recent Dominion war. I would be really excited to see a Carrier Class vessel with Valkyrie Class fighters doing dogfights with the Cy-- I mean Klingon fighters in space as both captial ships blow the hell out of each other.

didnt starwars battlefront do somthing like that ?
That's a good idea. STO going smaller instead of bigger might make for some interesting gameplay, especially if the romulans become a playable faction. That nifty little fighter introduced in Nemesis looked cool. Plus, flying a peregrine fighter and playing maquis in cardy space might be a fanboy thing to do for a while
The problem with the current carriers in PVP is trying to click on the carrier itself to attack it with out accidentally targeting one of the 87 fighters flying around it. For PVE that sounds like a great idea.
I didn't like Galactica but why does that matter?
I am pretty sure that the OP was going for the mental imagry of a battle between the galactica and a base star while the fighters went at it blowing each other to bits.
I think that the Nebula could be refitted to be an acting carrier. Just strap on a maintenance bay on the pod slot.
And flush the Jupiter. Please.
Akira class ships act as carriers. Not to mention the shuttlecraft carried by cruisers and the runabout the Defiant class can hold. I'd imagine that in a time of war, carriers would be carrying runabouts and Akira would carry almost exclusively peregrine class ships.
Yes, they were used in the Dominion War in DS9, so it's definitely canon.
Not sure I would want to pilot one, though. My tier 4 cruiser was enough of a pain in the tukas turning-wise.
I think you need to check your sources. Video games have never been considered canon. Nor the board games they were based on.
Seconded. None of the games are canon. Nor is any novel, comic, or any other kind of material other than the movies and shows. Much as i loved the Mirak in SFC.
Isnt the peregrine warp-capable? I cant be bothered to find the relevant mem-alpha now...but the akira cant possibly carry them. They're far too big to fit in a shuttlebay, unless its 1 per.
The crew regeneration rate aboard these ships is akin to rabbits. A few crew here and there won't matter. Look at boarding party as a for instance.
Long live the ISC...
Nor does it equal Star Wars, Star Craft, or The Last Star Fighter!
