Re: The Perfect fighter
There really is no perfect fighter. It depends on whom you are fighting at the time, and how they design their fighters/ships.
When I have organics, I like to make about half my fighters with one rocket pod and one electric discharge, so if they only get a chance to shoot once, they can make it count. The other half will be all electric discharge; if they survive long enough they will out damage the rocket pods. You just have to watch the combats to see how long your fighters are Lasting, then design accordingly.
Organic tech does make the best fighters, so to combat them try adding more PDF's to your fleet to shoot them down.
Ship mounted Phased-Polaron Beams can knock out fighters fairly handily also, especially since fighters don't get phased shields. PPBs are just the best all around weapon in the game, IMHO.
You could try using anti-fighter drones as well; they might make a cheap PDF platform, and they use regular size components (armor/shields) as well. I haven't tried this yet, but maybe I will...
