Let's face it a Fighter in and of its self is not something that can ever conquer a system, for that you need indurance and FIREPOWER which fighters lack, how many hours of bombardment would it take for fighters to seriously hurt a planet? Especially a planet with shields and defense platforms (even basic ones).

It is an interesting point you make, about what real space fighters may or may not be able to do in the real future.
In SEIV I am playing in a fake universe. Sometimes I want to play Space Battleships in my fake universe, sometimes I want to play a race of Super Carriers with powerful fighters.
Regardless of what may happen in the real universe, in my fake universes of SciFi, one guy, in one fighter blew up a small moon
In my overall SciFi imagination, Fighters are much more important than they are in SEIV. I still think it should be a viable (NOT the only) option, from beginning game, to end game.
