On Fighters

[fdlu]

How about this ??
Add a new mount type(say shotgun mount, same stats as large mount, up from 400 kt etc.)
you can either build a large caliber
gun (large etc.) doing more damage on cap
ships but only one hit on fighters, missiles
etc.
the shotgun mount is kind of D(ouble) P(ourpose) Gun, making normal damage to
cap ships but has the ability to say split
its beam etc. into tiny beams to increase hit
prop. on small targets. (between dedicated PD-guns and large guns)
In my opinion this type of gun can defend against smaller numbers of fighters without
sacrificing to much specialization.
PD guns/ships. are stll needed for large battles.
(current equivalent should be the 76 to 130mm
navy gun range)
