Well I wouldn't object to that if everyone thinks it's a good idea. But actually a small fighter is less then a tenth of the size of a frigate (15Kt). Large fighter is only an eigth the size (25Kt). Are you thinking of drones maybe? Small ones are half the size of a frigate. And the large ones are almost as big as the frigate, and no maintenance. That's why I felt it prudent to limit them to small only.

The platforms and bases I thought should be limited because of the mounts that the larger sizes get. Too powerful for 200Kt ships to face I believe.

The medium and large fighters don't get mounts, and aren't so big that I think they are a problem. But if everyone wants them out that is fine too.

Actually, I'm almost ashamed of what weight unit I was thinking when I wrote that (well, if you insist...a satellite )
