Allow the C7 Fighter Bay to deploy 4 fighters.

Now that we can have a crew of 4, it seems a bit odd that we can still only have 2 fighters out at a time. That means one NPC, one player in a fighter, one gunner, and...one player providing live commentary?

It would now make a LOT of sense if the C7 fighter bay could launch up to 4 fighters at once. That would give it actual purpose, for the first time in forever, and offer some really lively multicrew gameplay. Having a a ship launch out FOUR fighters would just be absolutely, unbelievably awesome to watch. A veritable aircraft carrier in space.

Let's make it happen, Fdev!
 
or allow us to mount multiple fighter hangars, so if you want to put out 4 fighters, you need to fit hangars...

This would make Fighter hangar work more like how SRV hangars work... and on that subject, why cannot we have 3D printed SRV's?
 
Even if we couldn't launch them all at once, having 3 or 4 fighters to choose from would make C7 hangar more useful. Right now, the advantage of having 15/15 over 6's 8/8 is never relevant. Maybe if you invite some randos to fly your fighters for an AXCZ, but that is a real edge case. Having 10/10/10 or 7/7/7/7 even if you could launch only 2 at the time would give you more options to choose from at least. Edit: and faster respawn if the noob keeps wrecking the fighters.

That's a really great point I hadn't thought about. It's really nice to be able to deploy the right fighter for the job, even if just for a single NPC. Heck, even just being able to have a backup fighter of the SAME sort, so you can recall it and immediately redeploy the same fighter while the other repairs, would be nice sometimes.
 
Or the C7 could launch a Sidewinder size ship and then give the Anaconda this hanger as it was supposed to be able to launch a sidewinder going by old lore, That way they also give way to getting around the mail slot size issue as we could launch and land in stations using this, while also able to expand on bigger ships for players, the Panther doesn't seem correct if it fits through

Wouldnt mind the Anaconda has the frontal Underdoor on it for the above already in its model
