Earthworm I like to point out that we never know what happen to the Dragon Heavy Fighter,
Actually, we do. Forty of them were built, with ten of them being captured by the BW, ten others destroyed in Speradon, and the other twenty on the Vesuvius or in Axius. Needless to say, with the destruction of the Vesuvius, all of the Lances that were still on board were destroyed and any that were in space would most likelly stayed and died there. Not only that, three or four of the BW Lances were destroyed.
there could be a couple of squadrons of they or they could be now being build to be sold to Privatters
That's crazy. Selling ships that are still better than most fighters, to Privatters, possibly pirates, would be crazy. Besides, I doubt the Lance would have much cargo space.
And I never see the Concordia Class Carrier as a Heavy Carrier, a normal one yes, a heavy one, no.
Eh? Technicly, heavy carriers ARE normal carriers (except that there's no such thing as a normal carrier
). You have your light carrier (ie the Tarawa, and others like her, the Ranger class) and you have your heavy carriers (Concordia, Bengal class, etc).
I don't know that the Excals are obsolete, I mean when we see them and the T-Bolts, they hold their own.
Not really, they have good shielding, but moderate weapons, and their armor is paper thin compared to the newer fighters.
Yet that is a useful role, in that that kind of fighter-bomber can fight its way through enemy fighters and deliver torps to for instance a transport or destroyer.
Yeah, but the T-bolt (and I would imagine, the Vindicator) can only hold precioius few torps. And only light ones.
