Ship launched fighters v viper/vulture for combat

[amadeus1171]

We should be able to fold up smaller ships, like the Vulture and the Viper, and fit them into larger ships, like the T10, Anaconda, etc..., to use them as SLF's.

SLF fixed beam vulture...

Or...much more simply, we could let our crew fly one of our (or their own) ships, while we escort, or vice versa, something I've been asking for since day 1. Would that satisfy you too? People say that would ruin pvp, but I thnk it would be great, interesting dilemmas all around, do I set my escort on the commander or his escort? If it's escort against escort, who has the loadout the NPC can take advantage of the best? Who has the most skilled NPC? I think it would make just about every aspect of this game more interesting, flying actually in wing with your lazy, good for nothing, credit thieving, combat xp thieving credit sink 'digital buddy'. You could pirate stuff to your heart's content, then call in your crew in your T9 to scoop for you while you set the next waypoint. Ah, the possibilities.
