Carriers are good. But not because they carry fighters..... Because they have the largest KT load. Put a couple of afterburners and maneuvering thrusters, and they turn as fast/faster than the fighters. And Last a LOT longer.

Gee, thats what I thought fighters were for... Going boom, that is. Fighters against capital ships are always an acceptable loss rate game.
When I figured out that running them over with my Carrier was a cost effective way of getting rid of enemy fighters, they kinda permanently removed themselves from my personal arsenal.
