Here are the carrier/fighter designs from my current campaign
NATO
The Enterprise class Carriers are the heart of the NATO naval forces. Their sole purpose is the transportation and support of their powerful strike groups and their design is uncompromisingly focused on fulfilling that mission. Their only armament is four close-in weapon systems, designed to shoot down any missiles that might penetrate the defensive umbrella of their escorts, and they have extremely limited onboard sensors, relying on their escorts and the sensors of their E-27A Sentinels to locate potential targets. Their capacious hangar bays can support a strike group of up to 18,000 tons, which usually comprises thirty-six F-24A Cobra Strikefighters, the workhorses of the fleet, twelve Viper F-25A Interceptors, equally capable of shooting down enemy fighters or incoming missiles, twelve A-28A Python Attack Craft for powerful, long range strikes, three R-26A Kraits to provide local sensor capability for strike forces and three E-27A Sentinels for wide area sensor coverage. Extensive ordnance and fuel storage enable the Enterprise class to conduct multiple strikes without resupply.

NATO Space Fighters
The F-24 Cobra provides over half the strike group for the Enterprise class and is the most flexible of the NATO space fighters. With a long range fire control system, four launch rails and a combat radius of five hundred million kilometers without in-flight refueling, it can deliver four AGM-1A Sabre anti-ship missiles against distant targets while avoiding detection and counter-fire. Its Pratt & Whitney F150 Ion Engine provides sufficient thrust for the F-24A to exceed seven thousand kilometers per second, enabling rapid strikes against newly identified threats.

Based on the same spaceframe as the F-24A, the R-26A Krait Recon Fighter is designed to escort a Cobra strike in those situations where shipboard sensor coverage is unavailable. Its SN/APS-3 Active Search Sensor complements the SN/APG-1 Missile Fire Control of the F-24A, incorporating similar range and identical resolution. While the Redoutable class Command Ship has sufficient sensor range to guide the F-24As to their targets, in situations where the NATO fleet units are maintaining emissions control, the R-26A can provide local sensor coverage without compromising the location of the carriers and their supporting units. In addition to its primary mission, the Krait can serve as a solo reconnaissance platform, operating up to one billion kilometers from its carrier.

The A-28A Python Attack Craft is a potent, multi-role strike platform, designed to deliver a heavy payload against hostile capital units or land-based targets. Although slower than the F-24A and mounting a less-capable fire control system, the Python has an integral active sensor capability, extreme range and four heavy launch rails. Its primary armament is usually the AGM-3A Katana Anti-ship missile, with its powerful strength-12 warhead, or the much slower BGM-5A Broadsword Multi-warhead Missile which releases three SGR-4A Dagger sub-munitions, each of which has a strength-4 warhead. Both missile types have a range of thirty-four million kilometers. While this is only half that of the AGM-1A Sabre, the larger missiles have twice the striking power. In addition to its offensive capabilities, the A-28A Python can also deliver the RLN-6A Raven Reconnaissance Drone and the RLN-7A Shadow Passive Recon Drone, both of which have a range in excess of one hundred and seventy million kilometers. The combination of the A-28A and the recon drones can provide information on potential targets almost two billion kilometers from the parent carrier.

The F-25A Viper Interceptor is the smallest and fastest space fighter in service with the NATO naval forces. Its dual role is engage enemy fighters or fast attack craft and to enhance the anti-missile defence capabilities of the carrier and its escort group. The latter requirement resulted in the inclusion of the SN/APG-2 Missile Fire Control, with its zero resolution capability. While a resolution-4 fire control would have extended the weapon range of the F-25A against hostile fighters and FACs, it would have severely comprised its ability to perform in an anti-missile role. Given the Viper's high speed, the designers assumed it would be able to quickly close on any potential targets and therefore the limited engagement range would not be a factor. The wisdom of that decision has not yet been tested in combat. The armament of the F-25A comprises eight launch rails capable of firing the RIM-8A Stiletto, NATO's current anti-missile missile.

A derivative of the Python spaceframe, the E-27A Sentinel Early Warning Craft provides sensor coverage and long range strike guidance for the Enterprise class carriers. Its substantial fuel capacity is intended for endurance rather than range as the Sentinel will usually operate within a hundred million kilometers of the carrier and its escorts. Occasionally, the Sentinel will provide stand-off sensor coverage for a long-range strike if an R-26A Krait is unavailable but will not directly accompany the attacking spacecraft. Usually, a Redoutable class Command Ship will provide the primary sensor coverage for a NATO task group. In situations where a Redoutable is not available or the fleet is operating under emissions control, one or more E-27As will radiate at some distance from the carrier, providing sensor information over a significant area of space without revealing the exact location of high value units.

Soviet Union
The Project 1206 'Krechyet' class Tyazholiy Avionosnyy Kreyser, or 'Heavy Aviation Cruiser', is a Soviet design that combines a hangar deck with a significant anti-ship capability. Unlike the NATO Enterprise class, which is entirely dedicated to carrier operations and will endeavour to remain outside hostile missile range, the Project 1206 is designed to operate in direct combat. It is equipped with sixty P-501 Garpun missiles (NATO designation: SS-N-30 Supernova) in box launchers, six 100mm railguns, strong armour protection and an ECM system. The hangar deck, which has one third the capacity of the NATO carriers, allows a strike group of twenty-four Su-40 fighters (see below). Unlike the larger and more flexible strike group of the Enterprise class, the fighters assigned to the 'Krechyet' class are intended solely to boost the anti-ship capability of their mothership. The Project 1206 has no inherent long-range anti-missile capability and will be protected by an Orlan or by a Project 1200 'Berkut' class.

24x Sukhoi Su-40 Istrebitel' Speed: 7272 km/s Size: 4.95
The Sukhoi Su-40 is the Soviet equivalent of NATO's F-24A Cobra class Strikefighter. The primary differences are that the Sukhoi is armed with three launchers compared to four smaller launchers on the Cobra and the Su-40s Phazotron Zhuk-69 Missile Fire Control has approximately ten percent greater range against large targets. The SN/APG-1 Missile Fire Control of the Cobra has a range of 62m kilometers but a resolution of 100 compared to 180 for the Phazotron. In reality, the range advantage of the Su-40 will be more pronounced due to the ECM mounted by all major Soviet warships. The Su-40 is slightly faster than the Cobra but has ten percent less range. The primary missile armament of the Sukhoi is the P-500 Palash (NATO designation: SS-N-31 Starburst). One hundred fifty P-500s are carried in the magazines of the Project 1206 Krechyet class.
