As for the needed acquisition test to get, say, a squadron of Fury Interceptors, I believe I have a good template.  A Leman Russ Battalion of 100 tanks, (including crews, etc...) is a -50 to the acquisition check.  A single Leman Russ tank is the same availability of a Fury Interceptor, so a 100 Fury Interceptors with crews would be the same, I'd assume?<br/><br/>How many fighters are there in a squadron, anyway?  Each poor quality launch bay is strength 2... meaning it can launch 2 squads of fighters at a time, is that right?  (although apparently each one can hold 24 squadrons in reserve...?)<br/><br/>So we'd need 4 squadrons of fighters for the 2 launch bays we acquired... (unless they come with fighters... do they?) and perhaps one or two more to put on board the Everest and/or the Kobras Aquairre...<br/><br/>There are 4 air bases on the planet as well... and a total of 521 fighters on the planet, but they are atmospheric fighters only.  There are now 2 Orbital Platforms with launch bays in space now... (apparently there weren't any before?  Did Attica Station have launch bays?)  There are, however 100 bombers and 45 Fury Interceptors to fill those spots already.  Do we need more or not?<br/><br/>Edit: From my research, it seems that there should be 15 fighters in a wing... does that mean there are currently 3 squadrons of fighters in space and something like 6 to 7 squadrons of bombers... not sure I've got that right either.  If that's correct, however, the bays of the Everest could indeed carry a squadron, as they handle 16 in the port and starboard bays.
