byel_bye, I’m not sure why your fighters+carrier warn about deployment time. I have myself fighters with deploy time 0.1, and never received this warning when fighters were docked in the hangar.
In the thread linked just here below you can find some design of carriers and fighters, made by Steve himself.
May I suggest you something?
Remove the ELINT modules: they are not sensors able to reveal ships, but can give you intelligence on other races signals (from ships and populations) and IMHO are better on a dedicated ship. Then, reduce a bit the weapons: the rest of the fleet should protect the CV from enemy ships, while it keeps its own PD. Remove the long range sensor, and mount it on another ship accompanying the CV. And finally, reduce the armour: “18” seems to me really too large for a CV.
