It also points out why you need a balanced fleet. If you rely totally on one type of weapon you will be easily defeated.

Same thing might apply with fighters as well. Trying to get to a point where I can test heavily armored/shielded (more armor than shields since there is that problem with fighters and shields) fighters to act as "Wild Weasels". Send them in ahead of my small-rocket pod Groups to set off the point defense cannons of the enemy targets, er ships. Wanted to try timing missile salvos to precede the first wave of fighters, but that's a bit too difficult and I think the PDC's reload after they fire at seekers since IIRC, seekers move Last.

Hmm... that reminds me of something I've been wishing: make seekers move their full speed when they are launched.
