I got lucky against one opponant with massive number of fighters. I got them to chase me and they did it in carriers. Since their fleet caught up to mine, we started combat close to each other and I got first shot (kinda like a worm hole defense). I crippled all ten carriers and boarded about 5 of them.
If they had caught up to me with just the fighters I would have lost about half my ships. But... I would have not been running away to the rally point, but would have charged their fleet head on so that when combat started we were on opposite sides of the battle field.

Knowing how to get up close is important with fighters. I was told the fleet movement phase was covered in the Gold manual.
