Actually I would say not necissarily, as you still have to at least
reload
the Torp fighters and probably the endurance for all the fighters... But
you
would then only need 1 carrier and just make sure that one survives...
But
if we look at the Star Wars universe the FTL capable fighters there
can't
sustian more than a few jumps before their fuel runs there too...So some
sort of base of operations is necissary regardless...
