I don't like new fighter weapons, Armed Cockpit and Turret guns. I don't like them at all.
When fighter with 1 AC and 2 TG fires on stack of fighters it can kill 2-3 in one shot ! Even if targets have shield.
I think it is overkill. It is just does not sound right. Also, it is often to have 1-2 spaces left on fighters, Why not to reinstall small armour for fighters ?
The idea of combat-only movement is a good one IMHO.
