Fighter/bomber ratio

from Sins Forums
I usually start out witha fighter in my first cap to clear out siege frigates. What ratio of fighters to bombers do you use as you accumulate more cap ships and carriers?

You  have to see what you're up against to decide. If enemy has bombers and you're trying to defend a titan or capitals, you'd better have an equal number of fighters (or so). Leftovers can go to bombers. If enemy has skipped on bombers, then put all of your stuff into bombers. What's great about carrier fleets is that you can switch up and adapt to your enemy by turning fighters into bombers or bombers into fighters. That kind of flexibility can be very important.

I have more bombers than usually 1 more bomber squad than fighter. But if it can be even it's even.

It depends, but usually I go either all fighters or all bombers, depending on what I'm trying to accomplish...all fighters is good for countering bomber spam or LRF spam...bombers are good for countering titans/cap/SBs and HC spam...

Usually, I find it better to go all out one way or the other...
