Well, I limited the test to the Neutral001 race (Borobda) and they certainly build a lot of fighters, which are hard to shoot down.
I did notice that they all had small depleted uranium cannon I's, so I went back in and added projectile weapon 3 to the research que. Hopefully this will result in a bunch of fighters w/small DUC III's which will be even more painful.
I know they won't be able to stand up against a multi-system empire for long, I just wanted to make them a bit stronger and more difficult to steamroller over. Of course, the AI empires may have increased problems dealing with them.

I would look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this..." *waggle* "...can you and your associates arrange that for me, Mr. Morden?"
