These are some great ideas.

I agree that it doesn't make a lot of sense for ships to sit idle for years on end without using at least *some* support.

I missed it earlier when BarnacleBill suggested a WEP or facility that hosts fighters. The idea of a fighter base is pretty interesting.

I also like someone's idea to make the fighters land again every turn. The idea to make them die when they run out of supplies is similarly excellent.
