Re: Any use for a really small carrier?

How are you managing that? When I have a carrier launching fighters on several consecutive combat turns, the fighters get strung out in a chain with each group a full move or more apart.
Oh, wait, I see you have the launching ship charging into the combat, as well. I usually trade armaments for cargo space and have the carriers set to Don't Get Hurt.
I have found that if you put a single CSM on the ship and set the strategy to maximum weapons range, the carrier/whatever will stay effectively away from the battle and keep the fighter Groups together so they all arrive together.
