removing fighter warp is completely unnessecarry
This seems like the best option IMO. If you get within 50km of a tower, then your fighters just auto-return to orbit your carrier or super. Objectively there is nothing wrong with fighter assign, because with the proper implementation it would force carriers or supers out of pos shields to "deal with roamers."
While assigning fighters might work the first few times for defenders against un-organized people, it would mean that wh groups can bring in 1 dread to kill a carrier, or they can bring in a fleet that is strong enough to take pos-guns with some bumping ships to go and kill a super/carrier. It also might mean that small-time roamers would start working with bigger groups to trick the defenders into fielding their caps outside of their poses which I think we can all agree just leads to more fun engagements.
I personally have seen some amazing camps where someone had a roaming-thanatos that was assigning fighters from a safe-spot. This was great because it caused us to go after them and hunt them down, while it meant a significant force multiplier for them that also had alot of inherent risk because of how easy it is to probe things down nowadays.
Preventing fighter assign from 50-100km of a pos STICK would also be great because it would prevent that worthless pos-shield bug where someone sits on a pos stick that is online but doesn't have a shield up yet and just assigns fighters, and if danger ever materializes they just put up the shield by inserting a password. |

I'm ok with people using fighter drones to help their fleetmates, but getting 1000dps for free from a carrier that can only realistically be killed by a titan doomsdaying it or a spy sneaking into the tower and bumping it out is way too much.
Station is a good point. 50-100km from a pos stick and 50km from a station would work beautifully. |

On a personal note, having more capital targets to hunt down would certainly make me want to resub my super pilot for some fishing opportunities to deal with over-confident super/carrier pilots who try to deal with OOC solo-roamer's by assigning fighters 50+km from a pos/station to their inty alts. |

I dunno if you noticed, but fighters generate aggression and weapons timers. A competent 100mn Cynabal, Stabber, or Macharial will be able to send the carrier off the station. A sizable torpedo bomber fleet can break it in under 60 seconds, not to mention a decent Talos fleet can as well. Alternatively, a few Moros can end an Archon quite easily.
Not everyone goes roaming with 20 taloses, a 100mn cyna/stabber or a machariel. Forcing the carrier to be 50km off a station solves that problem though, |
