Point defense really is the only thing you need in a fighter fight...

On the other hand, I think missiles should have a bit more range and firepower. After all, a nuclear bLast does pack quite a punch. I really like the idea of strategiv missiles, tough. Perhaps if they could not be refueled or something...

Towing should be an option if you do not have a repair ship nearby, particularly since it takes less room, and a bigger ship cshould be able to bring a smaller one without problems...
Towing a battlestation would seem problematic at best, it is hard enough to keep one of those in orbit anyway... On the other hand, you can always BUILD a space station at a warp point using a space yard ship... It's only 400 kT, so a Light cruiser can have one of those...
