Reviving an old thread because of some interesting information that I wanted to add to the accumulated knowledge on the Gorgon.
On the Deviant Art website I found the Gorgon artwork posted by the artist, who goes by Shimmering Sword there.
In the comments I asked how he believed launch and recovery of fighters worked. His answer really surprised me and I felt like no one I've asked on these forums has had the same answer, especially regarding landing.
Here's what he said, copy and pasted:
Oh I can absolutely answer that :)
Fighters typically launch from the front wing openings, and that very rear top surface is a landing strip. You'll notice in front of that is a pretty sharp change in the ships form, as there's another door there.
As listed in the stats it also has an underside cargo bay hatch that can be used to drop bombs. Getting tricky with it could allow the dropping of fighters, if you stuffed it extra full with them.
I also imagined the very top surface of the ship being able to open up, or lower down into the ship aircraft carrier style too, for landing and launching bulkier "small craft".
