Um, I built one carrier, put it full with fighter bays and cargo holds, put a LOT of fighters in...flew 2 or 3 times through the wormhole and had like 150 fighters or so attacking an enemy civilisation, they died and I lost 30 fighters or so which I already had rebuilt by that time in my homesystem...capital ships cost too much upkeep to compete with swarms of fighters...Ohe yeah, the research was far too fast too...
