A fighter bay can hold a few hundred drones. A fleet of warriors should do.
If you are tackled by a af though, you have bigger problems than you think you do.
Yaay!!!!

A frigate won't be able to break the tank of a carrier.
Someone ran the numbers on what you would need to neut out a carrier recently, essentially it was 2 or 3 armageddons, or 1 Armageddon and 1 bhaalgorrn in order to break its cap and self repping power.
Yaay!!!!

Expensive battleships with over a billion isk in modules still loses easily to 2 cheap assault frigates with tackling. To me it seems like a major design issue. Battleships really have no purpose against higher ships. They can't hit the small ships but they CAN be hit by large ships. Worst of both worlds.
I'm worried I'll have the same issues with a Carrier and want to learn about it before I fully commit the time and isk. Firstly, can fighters hit fast assault frigates? Is there something I can do to make SURE they can? Because if I get tackled and killed by 3 standard-fitted cheap ships while in a Carrier, I'm not sure I'd want to keep going like that.
I get it if lots of ships are creative and organized and they kill me. I just want them to have to work harder than that haha. this is why im staying subcap for the foreseeable future
This is not a design flaw.
There is no dedicated progression (ie battleships are not inherently better than a frigate). There are options and variety.
In that sense, that battleships aren't the alpha doctrine for everything, and smaller ships matter more than large ships if you have a swarm of them, snows that there is a balance for the game.
In just about every game, a level 5 wizard loses to a level 90 wizard. There is nothing you can do about that, even if you bring 50 level 5 wizards, there is nothing. In eve, a group of frigates can destroy a battleship. Capitals and supers are another matter.
Yaay!!!!
