I haven't done CZs in awhile so I can't comment on Horizons and beyond. During the Battle of Lugh though, they launched craploads of fighters which collectively turned out to be a nice and easy way to get a large chunk of vouchers during the Battle of Lugh. The F63 Condor might just be one of the reasons the Federation lost the war.
It's entirely possible that sometime between then and now they'd been disabled, and that they recently fixed it.
