Reading the rules again you can't tow fighters with tugs as it says
"ships" and as we all know by previous ruling fighters are not classed
as "ships".
>From Tugs and Tenders
TUGS, which are designed to "tow" other ships through Jump by extending
their
Jumpfield around them
You'd have to use a Tender and this is I think the spirit of the rules
in this
case.
The Thrust 9 FTL tender would cost you MASS 32 - 105 points to carry 6
standard
fighters
plus 18 points for the fighters, for a grand total of 123 points. Not so
attractive.
