If we are going to keep the ships size as the max possible size it can be then I would ask for an option on these things....
Kinda like nukes, a deploy / hold option. So that if you are attacked then all ships in your hanger bay are deployed or not based on the setting. Now that would add some REAL fun. I can just see it now. Some dork attacks your lowly station that has no defense but does have some hanger bays. Then BANG, 6 Class 2 nuke platforms come flying out and just ruin their day
-- Perhaps to make it a bit more realistic if a station with hanger bays is attacked the ships don't come out till the counter is done. Because lets be serious, if your packing a serious war fleet why would you pull it out and let the enemy run away when you can pop out and waste them just as they think they are gonna kill you
Also being able to put Hanger bays on stations/planets would be useful as well.
