Having worked on a carrier I have some real problems with the idea than
an
entire fighter can be fielded out of parts on hand. Usually it is the
other
way around, there is a hangar queen that never flies because there are
not
enough parts to keep all of them up at one time. So the rule should
instead
be that every squadron leaves with only 5 fighters... Obviously those
who
bought carriers won't like this bit of realism...
I don't think that fighters need beefing up, they are quite capable
on
their own... Additionally, if you can replenish fighters in the middle
of the game, how about my missiles...?
