by "the game" i meant discovery and its current weapon balance, and im willing to acknowledge that decreasing the size of the fighters would rape the balance of fighters and bombers with the current weapon stats as they are.
which is why i meant that they need to be big to be hittable in this game.
since rebalancing everything in the game is just not going to happen, it would be nice if the balance of docking modules at least were able to reflect that the fighters would be smaller than they are actually displayed. so more should be able to fit in the same space.
Oh sava when i said Freighter i was thinking more of a Repair ship, over something like a clydesdale or somthing like that. 4 repair ships on a carrier is easily enough, which is what i was thinking when i said 1 slot for freighters. since you are also more likley to get 4 people in repair ships than 24 people in fighters, in your carrier at any one time.
