CCP Doctor Rise: "In my opinion we'll have to amputate both legs, your left arm and remove half your ribcage. That should prevent any chance of infection".

Patient: "WTF? Can I get a second opinion?"

CCP Doctor Fozzie "Better take the other arm, just to be sure".

Don't forget that fighters and fighter bombers are piloted by a crew. They are frigate sized non-drones. If they hope to make Valkyrie a viable part of the Eve Universe, then do not take away the warping ability.

Fighters and Bombers are not dumb drones. They have pilots, and should be able to warp to their mothership if it has to escape the battlespace.

Assignment-related suggestions

Allow on-grid assignment only, just like drones.
Fighters cannot warp with the ship they are assigned to.
If assigned ship becomes invalid target to retain assignment, fighters should fly back to owner.

Offense-related suggestions

Fighters should still be able to "Attack and Follow" (toggled option, as is) ships that they are commanded to attack.
If target warps off, fighters should follow and enter warp too.
If target becomes invalid after dropping out of warp (destroyed, jumped out of system, entered POS forcefield, docked, logged off successfully somehow, fighters get ECM'ed and unable to acquire lock), the fighters will warp back to owner as soon as they can.

Miscellaneous suggestions

Fighters should still be able to warp together with the owner when they are deployed and the owner enters warp, as per current mechanics.
If a fighter becomes pointed or bubbled when owner warps away, it should keep aligning to the owner's location in space until it is able to warp again (or follow current in-game mechanic if there's already one set up for when fighters are prevented from warping).
If the owner docks up, logs off or get destroyed at any time while the fighters are deployed, they become abandoned in space. If they are in-warp when this happens, they should appear at the destination where they were warping to and become abandoned there. (If ships cannot break warp while warping, fighters shouldn't too.)

Can I haz you're stuff? A good worker is a live worker. Free to live - and work! A bad worker is a dead worker; and vice versa. Don't be a bad worker; bad workers are slaves, and dead. Payday for good workers has been postponed indefinitely. Payday for bad workers is cancelled!
