It's Time For Supercarriers, ships with 3 Hangar Bays.
What do you guys think?
I think bringing in the Voq'ue as a Supercarrier would be awesome. 6 BoPs flying around it.

In other words like the VoQuv I just think mainly the undergunned ones should get updated with it and become "true" carriers
I would also vote for 4 hangar bays and cutting down the weapon bays to a 3/3 or a 3/2... you are putting a lot of your damage in the hands of the AI by doing this.
Also, total side note, changing ships around that folks already own will probably make some grumpy. So unless things are just being added, then I would hope that whatever changes may get made to existing ships are either optional or strictly "buffs" of some sort

Yes, changes made to ships especially Carriers (as they are the main thing I fly) I already own wouldn't be received well - by me or others. So I hope any future changes wouldn't affect ships we already own.
This is Star Trek, not Star Wars.
Hey I love Star Wars too and even play SWTOR. But that's not my point. You can't put a Star Wars ship or weapon in a Star Trek game, it just wouldn't work for sooooo many reasons they are too numerous to mention.
Maybe:
Right now with all the stuff we can launch it sometimes appears that players don't even have to use their main ships in some normal level queues or battlezones.
Being able to launch more ships from dedicated carriers is fine with me, but only if they also increase the risk for those fleets of fighters.

Unless the change was a clear upgrade like what is happening with flight-decks
Yes or make the subsystem target tier 3 and not tier 1 that it is now so it can be more effective but I like your suggestion
Yes, I too like this suggestion. Now changes like these I don't think we'd mind to ships we already own (especially the Experimental Weapon slot for Command Tactical Carriers). It is changes that further limit the ships ability in combat that would cause a problem.
Oops, that was a mega-typo.
I really meant to say "First Federation Death Star"...you know..that big honkin ship that was in the TOS: Corbomite Maneuver, which launched Balok's smaller ship (if each of those nodules on the large ship is a smaller ship, it really is a super-carrier. We have this fenced-off section of stars in Alpha quadrant labeled "First Federation"...STO should do something with that at some point.

Lol, he, he, he - nice save.
So the Flight Deck Carriers should be allowed 8 weapons...Cruiser Commands, and two hangar bays, while Carriers get 6 weapons and what...subsystem targeting which is pretty much useless unless you're using one specific starship trait?
Carriers need something to be able to compete with the FDCs now or they're completely useless.
Don't want to give true carriers a 3rd hangar bay? Then how about Enhanced Weapon Systems and Enhanced Particle Generators to truly give them a boost without more hangar spam?

Given that actual carriers tend to field frigates I'm not entirely convinced on the it'll cause lag argument against a thrid bay. One carrier with frigates is 4 pets flying about vaguely somewhere in the vicinity of the mothership.
Fighter bays produce more per wing so full compliment means more of them per ship/player. Unless the assumption is that as they're made of wet tissue paper and love to despawn due to refusal to keep up the full deployment will rarely happen during a tfo run.
Likewise if they want to reduce lag maybe look into the overly spammy abilities that already makes gameplay a bit of a chore with the visual apocalypse that can fill the screen.
I really don't care
But what could possibly be changed, well since the FDC are "engineering carriers" and the carriers we have are supposed to be "science carriers" they could get sensor analysis for example. Or a second deflector. Or I liked the wingman-idea that they get a slot for two wingman-ships that could maybe changed so there would be a combat wingman or a shield drone or something like that.
But a third hangar slot is just too much clutter in my opinion.

I think having subsystem targetting rank 3(they got rank 1 now) without shared CD with other tactical abilities would be enough to make them better. Sensor scan is tied to sec deflector, if not wrong, and then they will have a new problem: Because of carrier s getting the sec deflector and the sensor scan the pure ships and multi-mission sci ships could end up inferior
We would see similar complaints if they added raider flanking to escorts.
For my own two penneth I’d like to see full carriers getting one (or two) extra hangars, and upgrade the Annorax/Tarantula types to two.
I’ve also long been a proponent for something like a “broadside” weapon slot for larger dreadnoughts, whereby we could slot a beam array (or even DBB) and it would have a 90’ firing arc on either side.
The removal of the distance limit on pets has been a boon for carriers, but we really need to see some improvement to fighter pet controls; it’s ridiculous that we can’t have fighters attack or defend anything that isn’t also the carrier’s current target. That’s to say nothing of pets that still don’t respond to the commands we currently have.
Sorry my already weak favorite ships are getting weaker and get no compensation while ships that already perform better are getting even stronger?
In case you haven't noticed this game REVOLVES around dps....basic carriers were already the weakest as they're the slowest, have the least weapons, and are generally very lacking in tactical ability.
Flight deck cruisers are faster, stronger, and have more ability. Now ships that don't even need a boost are getting one while the weakest ships are left in the dust, but I guess that is business as usual and I guess if you don't fly them you could care less?
What you're proposing will just take from Science ships and make them even weaker....I've given several ways that doesn't take from one class of ship and leave them in the dust. But it seems like you don't want that.
My guess is you love this flight deck carrier change because it benefits you and you don't want any real changes because it will take away from your new toys.

That would, ironically, be weak against hanger pets.
