I've found that even really big figures are pretty stable with the hole 
drilled out and sunk deeper. The trick is to make sure its at center of 
mass. 

This whole carrier thing has me thinking about typical carrier missions. 

Specifically the use of Tankers to extend operational range of fighters,

the SWACS craft concept, and EW flights of aircraft. 

One fighter bay with several mixed craft that launch separately would 
work well. 

I'm really just trying to figure out a carrier that has suffucient mass 
for a full combat compliment of fighters and support craft.
