What did you think of them.
I only ever made one Carrier out of all the missions. The problem is when you want to upgrade your Praetorian, who are you gonna get? A Ravager or a Carrier? I think it would have been better if they'd have made a Carrier emerge from a different host or something.
Your right that would be more convenient. but other then that they are cool.
Both are insta kill weapons, but I prefer the ravager. There is something badass about a hulking behemoth with hull blades for arms.
I never really used Carriers. Screw expansion, go for the kill! Use Ravengers!
I like them because they can carrer facehuggers to hosts that are really far away and if i sead facehuggers to the host they will die along the way.

yeah....you have to go to "selected upgrade" or something like that and pick carrier
carriers are cool -- they are strong and spew acid everywhere when they die -- they kick butt and being able to carry facehuggers gives them protection and facehuggers are some of my favorite aliens (only watching them jump on live enemies) and if you bring extra ones they can get on the carrier when they jump
----all in all - yeah, they're cool
--------ALIENS RULE!!!!!!!
The carriers were probably the most interesting Aliens in that game, i mean c'mon who didn't like upgrading that bastard all the way and then make go to a mob of the other species that you are fighting and have all the facehuggers jump onto their faces, coolness everytime i do that.
I always thought the Carriers were quite weak and any enemy would kill the Carrier before they even got close.
That's why you use cheat codes to see how it would work if it even got to feet to the enemy. ;D
there were a piss of they took out my whole unit when i was searching for there hive i was walkthrew the jungle and BAM face huggers jump out of no where and raped my squad lol

Or send them in with Warriors/Predaliens.
i liked the carrier, you would have them carry huggers to a pile of hosts, unhook that leash, and watch the fun, at least, that is what i do

LOL if anyone here plays Warhammer 40 k you would know something about that WINK WINK HINT HINT !! Cough Tyranids Cough ! lol
At least the Carriers look smart... :-\
Weak but very useful and cheap.....i like cheap. ;D
i think they where cool, but only made one
I think the carriers are useful for getting rid of annoying predators that continue to kill my aliens over and over again, wait, no, Im thinking of ravagers. :P

From what I remember you hold the left trigger and press the black button for a ravager, for a carrier all you have to do is press the black button (xbox controls).
Carriers are best for ambushes because you just need as many facehuggers as you can on it's back, then you charge at the enemy then the carriers will die with all the facehuggers attaching themselves to the enemy.
Nothing is better than getting your carrier to be full of facehuggers, then walk into an enemie infested area, then let all your facehuggers do there job!!
I usually send my carriers along with warriors, predaliens and praetorians so the facehuggers can facehugg the enemy while they're distracted fighting my other aliens.
I could never get them :-\
Though it is fun to see the carrier launch a facehugger at someone, I think carriers are useless. When I build a hive, I try to get as many strong cystic warriors and predaliens as I can. I can see their use if you have a small hive, but the're no longer usefull when you get a large one.
