Fighter costs are rolled into the ship costs. Hydrans are paying a 
premium for those fighters. Case in point, an unrefit RN with St-1s 
costs 165 BPV: as much as most BCHs. A refit Lancer (DD class) with 
St-2s costs 117 BPV: as much as many CWs.

It's the replacement fighters that he's getting for free. Not the 
initial purchase.
