Starships as swarms, anyone know where the rule is?

[Senko]

I'm playing around with the carrier (why does it have 10 bay's when you need 12 to have more hanger's than a battleship anyway?). I'm debating making each "tiny starship" in a bay part of a group (either 4 fighters or 12) and operate as a swarm in combat. I'm sure there was a rule for smaller ship swarms somewhere but I'm not able to find it anyone know where it is?

I am not aware of any swarm rule for ships. The closest is the armada rules in the Starship Operations Manual, wherein anything smaller than a capital ship is handled as a fleet. Mind, I am considering giving a try at using the armada rules to replace normal ship combat ( for simplification purposes ), but that isn't the officially intended purpose.

I've never seen any official rule of this sort, but it is something that a few people kicked around in the past as a houserule idea. Maybe that's what you saw?

Perhaps thats it.
