Offhand, I can think of different type of fighting craft a "Space Carrier" might deploy.
A fighter craft that in swarms, protects the Carrier by forming a protective sphere, or singly or in small groups act as recon. A torpedo craft that launches attacks against carriers or other similarly large structures. An atmospheric fighter (lander too?) for planetary missions. Small scout craft with long range travel potential carrying equipment that makes it equivilent to our AWACs. Very small drones that act in concert and compliment all the other craft. A Carrier would have to be enormous to carry full compliments of each of these fighting machines, but that might be the way it would need to be done. xponent We Come In Peace, You Got A Problem With That?
