The reason I suggested 36 points per flight (6 per fighter) was to cover
both the cost of the bio-mass and the cost of all associated systems
(drives, etc). The hight cost for average fighters was so that the you
would not have to recalculate thrust costs, etc. If you would like to
get
technical, some of the carriers should gain about 0.5 thrust if all of
their fighters are launched (I figured it out some time ago and don't
remember which ones...) I would allow pre-loaded drones to be
reabsorbed
as bio-mass. This consideration was included in their cost.
For pre-loaded drone launcher nodes, I would not allow that bio-mass to
be
reabsorbed.
