The problem for superships w/ fighters is that currently a maximum of 2
fighter groups can be launched at a time, even if the ship in question
has a dozen or more groups on board.
You could say 1 launcher per 100 Mass (2 for carriers) but perhaps a
seperate cost for launchers would be more appropriate.
A carrier could then be defined for the purposes of lauch capacity as
something like 25%+ of mass as fighter bays or launchers. ie weaponry +
other stuff = 25% max.
Military - Non carrier (1 launcher / 100 Mass)
<=50% equipment
Military - Carrier (2 launchers / 100 Mass)
<=25% equipment, >=25% fighter bays + launchers
Non Miliary (0 launchers?)
<=25% equipment
