If yes, heres your final PD net.Fighters can only be maintained inside a hanger bay. The maintenance facilities will do nothing to keep these guys from falling apart. That being said it would be a really cheap design ship or pdc that is not much more than hanger bays and crew quarters. I would go with pdc's just because they are fast to build for something this small. On the other hand the ship version could be towed to a planet to provide local defense. You could also base standard fighters or gunboats from them as well.
Transfer to other planets by carrier. Let me know if it works. My fighter manufactories are shut down at present.
