I always considered the former to be as useful as the latter use.
Especially when you have swarms of missiles/fighters around your
little ships, which you just _know_ he's saving for your big ships
next turn...

Are there any plans to tidy this up? I've always felt that there
should be a 'launch bay' type system, which allows the launch/recovery
of one fighter group per turn. Currently (especially now since mass
limits have been removed), a mass 200 carrier with 8 fighter groups
can only launch as quickly as a mass 50 carrier with 2 fighter groups.

Stops all the questions about what a carrier is as well.
