Scott Saylor says, "Don't carry spares; use the space for combat ready
fighters. Resupply is easy in today's navy, and will be in the future.
Carrier space is at a premium today, and will be in the future.".
Of course, the supply lines for fighter replenishment today are probably
less than 36 hrs at any time.
Can the same be said of the GZG-verse ? It's a function of your FTL
mechanism, really. Certainly in a "gates separated by real space"
universe,
the supply lines can be days or weeks long; long enough to justify
spares
and repairs.
