Default Re: On Fighters

So far I've engaged only with medium fighters, which can only fit a relatively modest load. I have the heavies researched and I'll try them ASAP.

On the other hand, I feel a bit uncomfortable with their Kamikaze nature when compared to the bigger ships. I hate to send my troops to die. :P

I also discovered that it is a good tactic to send fast fighters tailing a missile barrage. It improves the odds a bit, though not for the fighters.

The point defense escorts sound like a great idea too. I assume that you place less PD in your "other" designs then? If so, how many? Isn't that approach more 'expensive' that building 'self-defending' ships?
