Fighters are now unbalanced

BB,
At least you would have to pay maintenance on the QR ship.
I think the way it is there will always be a way to keep them in space forever. There should be ways of making this expensive though.
One way would be to make their engines consume a lot of supplies, maybe 50 times what they do now. Then at least you would need a carrier or transport to move them into position. Making their weapons consume more supplies might cause them to run out after a particulary long or difficult fight too.
I don't even know if they are destroyed if they run out of supply, I've never had one run out. Does anyone know if this works?

Another thought would be to eliminate the standard move from fighter engines. This would give them combat move and eliminate fighters flying through space by themselves. I know some people do think that suggestion is bad but I've never liked the idea of fighters cruising around the solar system by themselves.
