Are the little fighter ships worth it for bounties? (lemmy.ml)

My question regards those little fighter hangars you get for bigger ships that can deploy small fighters, specifically on the krait mk2. I see the benefit for something like an Anaconda where you turn to the enemy for 90% of the time, but for the krait they have so little damage output that I dont see any benefit from just buying some hull reinforcements. Any suggestions?

When you have an NPC pilot hired, they ALWAYS take some of your earnings, from ALL activities not just when you are using them.

They also take some of your combat rank, which may be the grindiest to raise.

So if you think it would be fun, go for it. Fixed beam Taipan is best unless NPCs still can't aim. If it's not about fun as much, then I wouldn't use one.
