Place Fighter Hangers on Side of Ships

With the fighter hangers on the bottom of the ship, it poses a problem for those who want to launch their fighters while the main ship is landed, because the planet's are not flat at all. That is why I suggest placing the hangers on the sides of the ships instead below. Dedicate the below hanger to the SRV only, that way you can still make use of that hanger as well. Not only will this allow you to use fighters to attack bases and not worry about main ship being in the cross-hairs, you can launch surprise attacks against players while your main ship is hidden. Just keep the below hanger dedicated to ground vehicles... it makes it so much believable when there is hanger dedicated to the fighter and one dedicated to ground vehicles. Instead of them sharing the same hanger. By utilizing the same blue haze atmosphere shielding from the stations, you can launch the fighters from the hangers with easy without worrying about hanger door animations which takes considerable amount of time.

You don't even have to make a new model, it could act like a ship kit. When you place fighter hanger modules on the ship, the hangers appear on the sides of the ship or the best position depending if you get one or two fighters.

If you did some research on why some ship have launch bay while other ships don't you would of notice they are all on the bottom.
 
Fighters and SRVs use different slots. The SRV pops out of the cargo hatch, and the fighter can only be launched via the fighter bays of certain ships.

This isn't a bad suggestion, in itself. Just think of the amount of developer time that would take. They would have to model a new external module, remodel each ship that can already carry a fighter to carry these new hangars, all for the ability to launch fighters while landed.

Yeah, pretending to fly the Battlestar Galactica is a wet dream I'm pretty sure we all have, but I don't think this is the way to go about it.

+1 for effort in a suggestion though :)
