well they do want to reduce the amount of fighters running around, i think, so it probably wont be added to small ships

Because they are a major source of lag. Its another object that not only the computer has to keep track of, but the server has to control its movements & when it fires its projectiles have to be calculated as well.

Won't see it happen until fighters are not longer a source of trouble.
And still i don't think we will see fighters for small ships. (corvette's frigates and destroyers)
Even talking fiction i doubt a frigate would have assault or defensive fighters.
But talking fiction i can see a frigate having a docking bay that could hold at least a shuttle or two, so it should be able to handle a single recon craft.
But it should not be able to handle assault classes, those should have at least some form of maintenance deck, ammunition storage and optionally a launch facility.
But lets not try to forget that the Pirate faction.
despite that they considers mostly of frigates and destroyers, there fictional tactic is to rely on fighters.
Overwhelm and cut off there prey while raider ships get close to tractor and board the target.
So i can imagine Pirates having at least a destroyer class support ship,
that could handle a fair number of fighters, at the expense of weapons.
