[Q]

I do not think they are to powerful. First the range is short, so the attacking fighters will be exposed to the point defense weapons before the can use their missile pods. Second if the enemy is not killed by the first attack amd there are no other weapons besides the missile pods, the fighters will be slaughtered in the remaining combat turn. That's what I observed quite frequentely. Third they can only target ships and planets. Against other fighters or satellites this could mean obliteration. My personal preference for fighter weapons is therefore either incinerator beam or meson bLaster.
