FIghter missile pods, too powerful?

[Triumvir Emphy]

An other reason Rocket pod fighters are not too powerfull is that they only fire on ships/planets.

If you are fighting a carrier/fighter heavy opponent, his main weapon is fighters not carriers, i usually don't even bring my carriers to battle, they just ferry fighters from system to system. Fighters to be usefull in planet defense need to be able to attack all kinds of targets.
