The Terran carrier fighters are as follows.
Main fighter: Cobra and the fighter bomber Raptor, my Cobras are now being escorted by Cobra-S to give them sensor coverage, our carriers were supposed to give them a target but recent battles have been hard on the carriers, 2 CVEs has been lost, CVAs and the rest of my CVEs have been upgraded to a new design without a sensor. The solution was to build a sensor fighter based on the Cobra, the Cobra - S have also redesigned with 10 AMMs instead of ASMs, its sensor is short ranged but so far no one has ever attacked our fighters over 10Mkm.

The F-27 is slow, but well armed, can engage 5 different targets and more armoured than than the F-28s
The laser armed fighter is the heaviest so far, and only have one laser canon, its range are longer than the Cobras and hit a lot harder when it hits.
The missile variant has been given 20 of the new AMFs and 2 fire controls, they also can double as missile defence in times of need.

So in the end we will probobly be going with the F-27, alot more flexible and it still is about 13000km/s faster than any known enemy fighters as well as probobly the best figter killer in the Universe ;)
Any thoughts are welcome.

I maybe New here, but it would appear that your max repair for your heavy fighters is less than your total MSP, meaning you won't be able to repair as many damaged modules, so it would be wise to replace the engineering spaces with something more "useful". . .
-
I'm confused what's going on with the F-27. Unless those are excess bogus missiles, it looks like you have 4 box launchers with a magazine containing 6 more missiles. IMO, you'd be better off with more box launchers instead. Also, in practice you're probably better off with 1 beam fire control; a fighter simply can't carry enough beam firepower for it to be worth engaging more than one target.

I agree on the BFCs, only thing you'd get more than one of would be gauss and I don't believe that'd be damaging enough in a single tick to really be worth splitting.
On the missiles however, I suspect he previously had more launchers on it or something as he's got 10 missiles in a size 4 magazine.
-
In terms of the F-27, since a box launcher can only be reloaded at a hanger deck or maintenance facility isn't it better to put the magazines on the carrier and have none on the fighter.

The only magazines on it at this time are those from the launchers themselves. (Basically, loaded missiles are treated exactly the same as ones in magazines as far as aurora is concerned. )
Edit:
And because I don't really like double posting, here's my thoughts on the OP.
. . . Snip. . .
Other notes (Writing these as I see stuff, so apologies about fragmented thoughts):
Long Island: Listed as carrying 1 Cobra-S, but no ammo for it. Also, I'd personally run with 2 sensor boats just for a bit of redundancy.
Raptor: will need escorts against any missile ship that's not been disabled. 8m is well within mid-tier AMM sensors, so it's almost certain to come under fire before it can offload.
And now I see that your sensor and FC don't agree, which isn't too bad considering the lack of ECCM but personally I'd still push out to the 24m from the FC as that's outside of most AMM ranges. Unless you're using them to take the beating of AMMs so that your missiles are more likely to hit, which I'm really not sure which way the efficiency goes. (Mostly depends on death rate for these)
Finally noticed the Gauss guns. Not sure exactly what I think about it, but it definitely would help with getting the missiles past initial AMM fire. Although, with that BFC you're likely looking at ~4% hit rate against your own missiles.
ASM Starfire: size 3,99? 0,01 Fuel will still give some effect, but I can understand it if the AGI modifiers work better at 3,99. (Numbers like that just bug me >_>)
F-27 Anaconda: just looks plain odd to me. For anti-fighter work you really don't need the extra FCs. For AMM work you'd want it to be faster so you could get better chances against missiles speeds. Also, the weapon type split is definitely resulting in inefficiencies, what with the need for 2 different types of FC and the differing combat endurances.
Also, the F-27 is in fact, less armoured than the F-28s.
Okay, just noticed that the Carrier for this carries the AFMs. That makes it a bit more interesting. While all of what I said stands for what's on the BP, with the AFMs it's a reasonable dual role ship, if a bit lacking in kill vs Fighters (2 internal damage in worst case vs 2 layers of armour) and a bit lacking in range vs Larger ships.
Oh, and I'd love to see what the mass of extra missiles does to some other parts of the code.
F-28 L: If you're looking for an anti-ship fighter, this would be great. Not so good for anti-fighter work. The FC is letting you use less than 1/2 your possible tracking, which means that any fighters at equal tech are going to be really hard to hit. 1/5 of the fighter is engine, which personally I tend towards 2/5 to 1/2 (resulting in speeds of ~96000+km/s, well outside of what your fighter could deal with. [Napkin math, not in-game tested])
The FC is also limiting the range on your laser meaning that it's going to end up within range of most Meson ships of FAC or larger. (Meson fighters might be another matter, but I can't remember any example ranges for them at this time)
F-28 M: FC and Sensor don't agree on Resolution. Anything of fighter size (<=10 TCS) will not be seen by the sensor until ~80,000km. Missile speed could also be an issue (see my napkin math for fighter speeds above).
Otherwise, good call on the multi FCs. Although, I might've tried 3 with only 18 launchers. ~18 effective damage per target, with fighters likely to be 1 to 2 layers of armour (4 on really heavy ones) this means ~8 internal damage against 2 layered targets. (0 for worst case against 4 layers, but with a bit of luck you're still likely to cause a lot of damage) [My personal targeting at this point would be using 2 of the FCs and leaving the third for mop-up. Which means that the third in unnecessary. Huh. ]
Carriers:
If these are likely to be working in groups instead of solo, I'd personally switch out the CWIS for turreted AMS systems. The loss in size efficiency should be more than made up for being able to bring the entire carrier group's AMS to bear on each barrage.
Final notes:
Oh, you massively out tech everything you're fighting. Okay, so most of my notes about speed aren't terribly relevant, but I'm now very surprised you left the 80k km range on the Laser. (Which probably needs a better name, I wouldn't use a 6 damage laser for anti missile work. )
And, in-case you don't have something already, a scout FAC with the best cloaking and thermal reduction you can manage is huge for being able to engage on your terms.

New or not, you're exactly right. Considering the fighters have less than a day's worth of fuel and 3 days of crew quarters, the engineering spaces should be removed. I suspect, given the previous designs didn't have them, the OP just forgot to delete them.
(new ship designs automatically start with bridge and engineering spaces, neither of which a fighter needs).
Speaking of crew quarters, there's no excess crew quarters/flight crew berths on the new carriers either. Those are going to be some cranky fighter-jocks at the end of those carriers' 4 year deployments!

You could put them on Ice

You all are totally right about the Cobra-S, I forgot to include AMMs on the carriers :-[ In this battle I "borrowed" from my AM ships ;D This little deficiency has been corrected now.
About the F-27 its also correct that I forgot about my engineer and that it should have allot less deployment time, from the beginning the F-27 Anaconda Interceptor was to bee able to stay out much longer. About 4 FC its experimental, my Raptors have one fire control and engages one fighter each fire opportunity, having 50 Raptors and engaging 360 fighters is taking an eternity, so be able to fire at several targets would be nice.
This costs me allot of space and speed but if it works ??? it would save some time to kill those pesky fighters.
Here is the right F-27, without engineers, a bit more fuel, the right amount of missiles and a bit less deployment time.

I am going to SM in one of each MkII and MkIII and see whats happening.
-
Ohh well the Anaconda MkII worked good, in theory. Having auto fire on it used one FC and attacked one target, when I went in and targeted and fired manually it worked as it should but will probably take even longer time than before. So the new standard fighter of the kingdom will bee that F-27 Anaconda.

There's a wonderful button on the targeting screen labeled 'Same Loc'. Which says that every FC on every ship of the selected clas in the task group should target a thing at the same location as what the selected FC is targeting. It saves a lot of time, but be aware that it doesn't allow for multiple targeting of the same enemy, so once you have more FCs than targets you'll have to manually do the overflow.
