Does the Lucrehulk make a good carrier?

Does the Lucrehulk's enormous fighter capacity make it a good carrier?

The converted freighter and its detachable core make sense, but short-ranged droid fighters squander much of the operational advantage that fifteen hundred aircraft should provide.

The Lucrehulk begins as a commercial transport whose core ship fits inside a militarized outer ring, giving the conversion a clear structural logic. Its roughly fifteen hundred fighters make it an imposing carrier rather than just a large target. Droid fighters should exploit the absence of a human pilot to gain endurance and reach. Building them with short range forces the carrier to operate more aircraft and support more sorties for the same effect. The carrier conversion is sound, but the aircraft squander much of its operational advantage.
