So is there anyway to make an aircraft carrier type spaceship in the game? I'd love to build a long-range, fast transport that allows me to carry short-range strike fighters. Can that be done?

Home world is at 15 billion. Approval there is in the upper 50s Two of my other planets are nearly at 12 billion with approval in the 60s and 70s. I've built a few entertainment centers and dropped tax rate. Problem is if I drop tax rate anymore I end up operating at a negative.
I apologize for the general ignorance in my question (but I'm a newbie only 1 week into the game so I get some slack). I'm playing on the default map (small) with 5 opponents. I control 4 planets and my population is maxxed to popping on almost all of them. As a result, my approval rating is dropping (now in the low 60s). I am way out in front of my opponents in Research and Economy, but Military I'm practically at zero (just a fighter or two at some of my planets). <
First off, thanks to everyone on these boards for their input -- as a new player the forums have been a tremendous asset and have kept me from driving my forehead repeatedly into my monitor in frustration. Can someone give me a clue as to the general strategy for open-space (i.e. not on a specific resource) starbase placement. Is it better to have them nearer your planets or further away? Should they be placed somewhere on a direct path between one of your worlds and an AI's world
