You bring up an interesting point: interceptors.

I wonder if it would be possible to allow the PDC to target bolt type weapons as they do in the series.
(Beam weapons appear not to be defended against in this manner)

Also according to Online sources, the ships are quite a bit larger, the Omega destroyer is around 440 million metric tons while I believe the cruisers in Star Fury are in the 700kt range...

This would definately allow room for all those fighters...
