Watch out for that bottom end. The very minimum size for a fighter in SE4 would be 5-6 KT, enough for cockpit, lifesupport one weapon, one engine.

Yes I know the smallest fighters I believe are the trade fed droid fighters, I estimate about 5 tons in "real life" and 5 kt in the game. One of the reasons they can be so small is that they replace the cockpit+life support with somekind of master computer.

Remember that you don't have to have the fighters "mass" in SE4 be smaller than ship "mass".

That could be confusing, and I don't see we need to do that by now.
And biggest fighters should not be much bigger than about 80 tons. Uless you calssify some almost 100m long trek ships like fighters as they sometimes do.
But yours is a good idea we can use if we can't get all fighter components tonnage right.
