The Perfect fighter

[Ruatha]

I have large fighter tech, My opponent has medium fighters.
But he is organic.
He has Elecric Discharge 3 on them.
He's medium fighters take out my large fighters easily, I can't seem to build a good fighter.
Wich components should I have.
Do shield and armour give any effects on fighters, they don't take much damage even with shields.
What weapon should I have, I made some with rocket pods but they are destroyed by fighters before they even get close to the enemy ship.
I've tried adding ECM and Scanners.
With 10 jacketed photon engines and afterburner I can outrun his fighters if we're not coming head on, but I wan't to killthem!

Help!!
