Parasite Fighters

Hello,
   It is clear that the mini-carrier in B5 was used as a gimic to catch
the guard squadron off guard.  The use of parasite racks on ships is
that they are cheap, however you cannot maintain the fighters in that
manner and the crew fatigue can be detrimental.  Therefore, these kinds
of ships could only be used in a campeign or a specific scenario.  Once
the fighters have been launched they are effectively neutralized and
would have to be overhauled and replentished at a base for half their
initial value.	They should not be used for general games.
