Re: Value of Fighters
A well designed fighter (large fighter, one or two small shields, plus a few weapons, and an afterburner III is really good) is an incredible weapon. With the Afterburner III + the engines, you can get some mighty fast fighters. I have designs that go up to 8 or 9 moves in combat. They are great interceptors. In a group, they can wallop small to medium ships, and if they carry missiles, they can blow anything up.
A good carrier with 100-150 fighters is one of the most important components of my fleets.

The two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.
