honestly i prefer some huge reduction on DP to all carrier, messing with fighter only resulting with some undesirable weird balance which make carrier kinda like low effort fire power with low consequences. i think the most successful balance on wing/fighter was on DA Mod which have tough fighter, hit hard but not as hard as full frigates, and can survive long enough on battle but have huge consequences which make each fighter very long to rebuild the moment they get destroyed.
I just modded DA wanzer to have 6 mech per squadron, Just have a capitol and few doom/Mech destroyer from DA to cover the bee nest during rearm and you are set to go. Ow for maximum immersion play some gundam music, get ones from igloo
game F balance is over rated... when ever I heard that it usually meant something you like getting nerfed for no good BS reasons... How about we just keep things as they are instead or increase dp?
I don't know if it's 'making it better' but I do know that in the OSA (Outer Systems Alliance) mod there's a Capital-class carrier that has like eight bays and medium/small weapon mounts, and the thing can solo entire pirate fleets and even a station. Stumbled on it cause I was trying to find a laser-based flagship, and honestly I had so much fun with the carrier it feels wrong to have any other ship as my flagship...Though I feel like I should focus on having it and a few frigs/Destroyers.
Modern carriers with the archean order total conversion is pretty cool. I like piloting the buffed prometheus mk.II with an ace to smash frigates that try to flank me.
Using this mod, with Kadur remnants big ass torpedo bomber is honestly terrifying, like they already nuke stations and capitals, but with extra bomber hardpoints, that 4 torpedos per bomber. It's also hilarious when pair it with Kadur's abid or vanilla's piranha just to the sheer wall of "fuck you" they slowly lob at the enemy, good way to distract the entire fleets point defense
a friend of mine made a mod called small ship, it adds corvettes to the game which are in between fighters and frigates. they cost a lot of ordinace points to equip but they can be fun
If your running carriers and whant so extra power i recomend the Experimental Hullmodification mod it allways you to modify your ship far deeper than hullmods and s Tou can swap out all your large and medium weapon mounts/hardpoints or just some for launchtubes for even more fighters sure it will make your ship defenseless if you take out all weapons for more bees but thats only if you allway them one thing you can do is run an astral rake out all its medium and large mounts for more fighters and fill every slot with cobras(a single fighter per bay whos only armement is a single reaper torpedo) sure most of them wont hit but you will have enough that it will not matter even more for stations just watch them get hit with a wave of crimson red torpedos. Or if you have the uaf mod but on only the figthers with vocals to give space an atmosphere of missiles or breves your choice realy. Outside of that the mod is great fun and is not limited to only what i meantioned it was just a fun tid bit
I didn't even know there was a "meta" on this game xd, I found my ships to be fairly capable on its own. But interesting videos might check the mods out.
Honestly, the drover deserved to get nerfed. It was really bad for the health of the game to have something so boringly easy to win on something that was so commonly and cheaply available. It's borderline unusable now so it could use a buff or rework however. Carriers are still strong though, with one skill you can get up to 75% replacement rate bonus for 8 decks or 38% for 16 decks. Best part is your officers just need to be put on the carrier itself, only you need to make the skill investment. They work better without expanded deck crews hullmod though since that's been put into the ground compared to the skill now.

Broadsword L from Fighter Expansion is great. Basically a normal Broadsword with a good shield. It also has blue flares.

I can and will always regardless of meta or mods run carriers.

It's really awesome especially with carrier based fleet

care to give the link please?
Corvettes already exist. All a Corvette is, is a small frigate. The smallest military ship.

Hmm, I'm gonna combine these two with Diable Avionics and Rosenritters from Tahlan Shipworks.

where there's a game there's a meta

Carriers didn’t get nerfed just cheesy way you used them
