Shielded fighter tactics, a new secret weapon???

[Rover]

Thanks guys for the input. All are good points.
I guess I mout sound like I'm a newbe. I think the biggest mistake was putting question marks at the end of the top. I Also think I wasn't being very specific in getting my point across.

So let me try to state it more plainly.

The purpose of placing a lot of shields on a fighter design is so that,that type of fighter in a large group of fighters could substain a lot of damage and the life of that group would be substained throuhout the entire combat,in its assigned mission (reason why I design it in the first place) of flying around enemy ships and causing an automatic respone from the point defense cannons on ships in an enemy fleet. So that other fighters which were in bigger Groups (which cause lots more damage to a ship that way. which was how I was able to bet 18 cruisers in about 6 turns to no losses to my regular fighter force, AI of course)With greater speed (minus shields) could move for an attack and do as much damage as 50 fighters in a group could do. Or to allow missiles to hit their targets without being shot down by point defense.

I hope this makes it more plain.
