FIghter missile pods, too powerful?

[mac5732]

In my opinion, leave the rocket pods as they are. In WWII SPD's and TP's always went in with ftr escort or they became dog meat, alla
battle of Midway. However, if they did get thru the ftrs and PD and hit, they did extensive damage. The same with SEIV, by using ftrs, it causes your opponent to use them as well. Otherwise it makes the ftrs useless and not worthwhile to build or use. I think it adds to the game, you have to defend against them or suffer decent damage, it also causes you to build ftrs to help protect your ships, planets and bases. Take the damage they are capable of doing out of the game and you eliminate their use. Why would you want to build ftrs or carriers to carry them if they only caused minute damage or less.. Just an opinion Mac
