And are tugged around by a replacable engine section. 2 birds. 1 the enine can go in for an oberhaul without issue. 2 thats the most expensive bit, so i can abandon the hangar if needed.
One problem I've found with the tugged carrier route is that even though hangers aren't suppose to fail, they still suffer mechanical failures that will drop their speed to 1km/s. This will drop them out of the fleet. It gets really annoying when you have random ships that drop out during training missions.
