I agree... it is a little thing called "Game Balance" The Python is a beast of a ship.. very good at PVP ... with a Ship Launched Fighter it would be very over powered. Frontier Devs do not just do something just to do it... they do give allot of taught to it! [big grin]
That's the thing: once you have a conda with fighters, your python ends up just sitting there, collecting dust. I'm forced to stay in the bubble, now, constantly switching between my conda and python because I love the fighters so much, but am insanely bonded to my python.
