What does the third tier of this skill mean? What effect does it have on carriers?

It makes the 0-flux boost go up to 1%, making most ships able to move at full combat speed with shields on, making the ships take less damage in a first strike, unfortunatly, carriers in which sent their fighters and bombers to fight just get their Z-FB disabled to balance the game

As stated above, it lets you get zero flux boost for up to 1% of your ships max flux. Unfortunately, this means that you only get it for having your shields up or firing really flux cheap weapons whose flux/shot doesn't take you above 1%. Some ships though have such poor flux stats or high shield upkeep that they lose the bonus when they raise shields because 1% is so unforgiving.

Carriers are locked into at least 5% of their max flux when set to "engage" to prevent them from benefiting from this and essentially having a permanent +50 speed boost.

Does this include the Legion Battlecarrier?

So long as flux/second use is less than dissipation AND individual weapon burst use is less than 1% of capacity AND fighters are recalled yes. The legion will be able to run with its shields up and the +50 speed.

A Legion has 800 post vent post shield dissipation with 12000 capacity (assuming no caps) so you can fire a single storm needler or maybe a single HAG(120 use/shot) and still maintain the +50 speed

AND fighters are recalled yes.

Damn...

Setting fighters on the engage always prevents the ship from gaining the 0% flux bonus, no matter the skills or the ship's flux stats.

Legion + Xyphos is a nice combo for the player to take advantage of the 0 flux boost. For a battlecarrier they should always be on recall mode, and are very effective lockdown/PD.

Just remember that as soon as you get a tiny hit on the shield youll loose the bonus. Might be worth it to armor tank.
