There would be drawbacks, like servicing the fighters, and targeting them directly while they're still attached. I guess it does balance out. Just odd in my mind.

Jumps into a battlefield? So its has more than one jump drive in order to support the extra mass? (Alternately: it jumps slower/shorter than other ships due to extra mass?) Also, maintenance is gonna be inconvenient. All in all, it's not much different from spending all those Clamps and the carrier's Jump Drive to fit fighters with jump drives instead.
