i think it would be cool if there was such a thing like a carrier frigate or destroyer
Frigate: would have maybe a cl 300 and no other weapon 2 ie engiens and 2 light armour (or re. shield) and 1 fighter bay
Destroyer: would have 2 fighter bays and 3 ie engiens and 2 cl 300 3 light armour (or re. shield)
plz reply to this

There would be no point.
Most players who use frigates use them solely to get to the higher ranks because they are at midshipman or ensign. Destroyers are used by experienced players to go quickly rack up kills.
Now the fighters would neither help the newbies gain rank fast nor would they help experienced players get all the kills they want.
Besides, how effective are 2 fighters going to be? Far more effective to simply go in and alpha strike.

dont say that they can build to get rank cause that gets boring and u still need combat badge

Carriers are massive vessels that carry superiority and suppot fighters as their main weapon.
A frigate or destroyer is not massive, not big enough to carry fighters. Cruisers are the smallest ships that can carry fighters, and the most they have there are 4, and thats after being stripped of its most powerful offensive weapons (left with 4 railguns). A carrier dreadnought has 8 fighter bays, but only three heavy lasers. To be consistent, these ships you are proposing would only be able to hold the fighters and nothing else.
Creating ships so unsubscribed people can use a fighter or two isn't a good reason.

well if a cruiser can have 4 after being striped then a dessie should have at least 1 after being striped.

What makes you think any ship with fighter bays would be allowed to unsubscribed players?

You want a destroyer with 3 fighters, engines, and nothing else?
