Overview
The Carrier is a Realm 3 capital support hull. It contributes combat power of its own, but its signature value is the rapid fire screen that protects friendly ships from enemy Rapid Fire — shown in-game as Rapid fire screen / cancel.
Special capabilities
Rapid fire screen
Each Carrier projects a screen over nearby friendly hulls:
- Catalog values: 2 screen points with coverage of 20 friendly ships per Carrier (thins as Carriers are destroyed)
- The screen reduces how hard enemy Rapid Fire can farm your screened ships
- Guardian class commanders further amplify Carrier rapid-fire cancel on their own escorts
Losing Carriers mid-fight weakens the screen — they are rear-line anchors, not disposable chaff.
Launch drones / fleet anchor
Carriers fill a capital support niche: drone-assisted pressure plus holding a formation together in long engagements and FCS fights. Pair with frontline tanks and repair ships rather than sending Carriers alone.
Strategic Use
- Bring Carriers when the enemy has strong Rapid Fire (light swarms, turret farms, RF-heavy capitals)
- Guardian fleets get the most mileage from the cancel screen
- Keep Carriers alive — the screen scales with surviving Carrier count and coverage
References

- Fleet Combat — combat resolution overview
- Support Vessel — field repairs for sustained fights
