fighters

only if your coudl refit fighters with different weapons so you can have special fighters to fight different enemies and you dont have to cook up a new batch of fighters in a hurry.

That's another balancing factor to consider - no upgrades.

Good point. But wasn't the refitting of weapons on fighters a primary factor in the US victory at Midway? Do you want to lose because all your fighters were on the carrier having their weapons changed?

And the advantage of fighters is that they don't cost maintenance. I have about 1000 fighters sitting on each of my home waypoints in a proportions game. Any ships that come through get wiped out, because not much can withstand 4000 damage points every turn.
