Build a small amount on a planet. If the planet gets attacked, they get launched, and the attack ships chase after the fighters, ignoring the planet. The fighters run away as they have no weapons, and never get caught because they have lots of movement.
Doesn't always work, but if you get surprised, and don't have enough time to build a good defense, try it out. I've saved a number of planets this way.
Brilliant idea! I have to try this.
