Carriers will be available for pilots level 40 and above, for a cost of 400,000 Cubits AND 90,000 Merits.
Carriers can serve as docks and respawn points for strike pilots in their squadron.
While a strike pilot is in the DRADIS range of a carrier in its squad, it shares the DRADIS range of the carrier.
A computer system available for the carrier ships allow the pilot to designate a target on a single enemy player – this target is visible for all pilots in the carrier’s squad, and increases accuracy, critical hit chance, and other stats for those targeting this ship.
Another new computer system for carrier-class ships can repair and recharge any friendly ships in close proximity (AOE).
Strike pilots docked on a carrier will have a tactical space view as if they are flying the carrier – although they will only have camera control. They will be able to repair and resupply their ship from this view, then undock to get back in the action.

So is anyone saving up?
