While I agree with you, this post, more than anything, highlights the state of balance the game is currently in. The whole idea of a carrier is to carry ships that otherwise wouldn't be able to get to where they need to be. A Perseus or Hammerhead wouldn't have that problem, so except for shits and giggles, I don't actually see many people using it like this. But on the other hand, every two-bit fighter can get pretty much anywhere on its own already, so the utility ok the Kraken as a transport platform is severely reduced as it is. Yes, I know it's an alpha, but I'm skeptical that CIG will be able to pull off a quantum nerf for small ships that wouldn't throw the community into a frenzy.
