Re: FT: Squadron Question

I like the idea of having separate hangars and launch bays. It
actually feels closer to actual present-day carrier operations.  It
may not be in the official rules, but as a house rule, you could
assume a squadron needs 6 Mass hangar space and each launch bay is 3
Mass. You could design your carriers for desired launch/recovery speed
with assault carriers having 1 launch bay per squadron and maybe
Escort carriers having only one launch bay for all fighters.  Von:

 Expedient 1 shot launches from freighters or launches from static
stations might make for interesting scenarios. 

 Adding functionality to allow multiple fighter launches and
retreuvals from the same bay would requires retooling the base rules
or a "house" rule. 

 Any thoughts?
