Feature request: Option to automatically build bomber/fighter/mixed as soon as a slot becomes availa

It will be great if there was an interface option to automatically begin building squadrons as soon as they become available, with the option to turn off the automation and manually select squad composition. Ideally it will be possible to select a default construction order out of the following:
1. Always bomber
2. Always fighter
3. half and half, start with random
4. half and half, star with bomber
5. half and half, star with fighter.

This will make all carries much easier to manage because you would only have to mess with them rarely. I would select half and half start with random... so that means all my bases, carries, and capital ships would always have their fighters/bombers maxed out.

YES PLEASE.

My biggest frowny face with the interface is needing to switch to the fighter-builder all the damn time when new hangers / carriers are built. Fighters are free! Build SOMETHING you fools! ZOMG here comes the enemy fleet and we have nothing but antimatter!


Overriding it is easy enough, and with a global toggle you make everyone happy.

Throw the antimatter at them :P

I hear it can be dangerous :P...

But seriously though, I use hangers almost exclusively in defense... and pirates just attacked one of the 6 systems I had with 5 hangers in each...

But I didn't notice that on that one specific system I forgot to build fighters... I could have had 15 squads (advent)
