Re: 5 Carriers versus 2 Starbases
 

Fighters only have no movement the turn they are launched, your guess is as good as mine as to why. After that they can move normally.

Re: 5 Carriers versus 2 Starbases
 

Could be because of simultaneous movement. In turnbased movement it would be possible to launch and move the fighters at once, but not with simultaneous movement as the fighters won't be there to be given move orders until the next turn. SO to keep things equal they can't move after launch in turnbased either.

Which is why you keep one fighter over a planet. Once you launch the rest, they have all their movement http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

I agree with you especially if you own a planet in the system. You can fly extra fighters from the planet to reinforce the base if needed. I like that combo, base plus fighters. If you fly the fighters in you can create your own special fighter type group sizes, as they stay grouped like you bring them in.
