Over the years game introduced a lot of restrictions to the "higsec" just to enforce some of the limitations that were added into the area over the last decades.

One of the prominent examples are - capitals in higsec.
You can have those already there that were from before blocking them to enter - because people were baiting and ganking with them. Before the CONCORD addition they could be just sitting and tanking players and FACPO for hours.

Time have changed - we have now the "green dot" that could prevent any offensive use - so you cannot sit /enter one with bad setting in higsec.
We also have CONCORD, just in case.

Just to be clear - the limitation for capital use have much bigger repercussions

> Cargo of the freighters is so small, because if it would get any bigger - you could haul in capital in a freighter

To point something obvious. Our 3x expanded freighters have cargo topping around 7% of available volume. While a cargo ship usually assumes 60-70% of space. So without this limitation the freighter could have 12.000.000 m3 of cargo.

Next is the mobility.
With the assumption of the higsec open - we are talking about possibility to move your capitals across vast distances just by gating.
I don't assume this would be abused by the "big bad blocks" because wardecers would kll them/tackle on every gate. So mostly small groups that can control wardecs or chars in NPC corporations.

Rorquals in higsec - honestly any one who is willing to risk a excavator to a catayst, and generally willing to spend time mining - is a special snowflake that i have nothing against.

This is just idea but we could have a lot of stuff back to higsec a lot of that was taken away over the years in the form of various nerfs

People on reddit constantly say that :

• carriers need a boost
• application is bad
• dps is bad

etc.

In general carriers should not be worse than marauders in terms of dps and ratting. For sure when you have 200 carriers on grid this is something different, but this applies to every possible ship.

So my question here to all of you. Are carriers over powered from your perspective and why do you think this way?

Edit:
I feel this was lots.
For me carriers are underwhelming and need to be boosted.
We want to see them used, i want to hunt them again.

Space for ages needed a NPC space, now NPC faction got evicted.
It would benefit whole New Eden and make the game much more interesting from lore perspective.

I will not say how to do it, you have CSM and well versed FC's to do it.
I can only say why this needs to happen :

1. timers of this kind affect RL. People investing time and money are left in a choice of drop it all or engage in few days long grind or defense that is utterly bad and bugged.
2. Inability to login to defend your stuff, or opposite be part of attacking force even if you pre-positioned yourself to system/grid for 9 hours just proves how buggy the current situation is.
3. Inability to predict if your actions will matter. You could do all correct, over prepare yet lose. Just because server bugs itself in specific way, or fact that mechanic forces you to lock multiple targets, while each lock takes sometime an hour, while enemy just need to do it once.
4. Asset safety not working at all. Goal was to protect people who are away. They will be the most impacted as their stuff will be in some random ass lowsec station. If you are active - you can recover in the same system. (this one can be fixed easily, make push for lowsec a player decision, asset stay in system until player decides to push them to lowsec).

EvE is game with aging playerbase, whatever you do it needs to have less impact on the real life obligations
