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?

Well, if those don't work for you then those don't work for you

I like them:

it's an additional set of guns, which IMO gives more than just another hull reinf
allows you to keep pressure on the shields when you can't
sending one after an enemy far away brings them closer
are a lot of fun to switch to from time to time
you can bring a buddy in telepresence without them risking anything
I feel the combat ends sooner when I deploy an SLF
