[Cyrus]

Right, I knew that part and I'd completely expect a Wave Motion Gun (Though now that I think about it I don't know if it can target fighters) to have a minimum chance of 30% to hit anything. What I'm talking about though is Phased Polaron Beams, and Anti Proton Beams which is where I noticed this to begin with, which as far as I know don't have any bonus to hit.

The scenario where I first notice this was when I sent 60 fighters after a light cruiser and a destroyer. Neither of them had point defense, they were armed with missles and Anti-Proton beams. I lost 10% of my fighters before they got close enough to fire because the beam weapons could hit them so easily. And this is very early in the game, below turn 30.
