That is of course assuming that fighters are built  inferior to the
weapons systems delivered. This is like saying ariel fighter combat
should be the same way. But in all of the ariel wars to date, it hasn't
been "bang! you're dead!" Defensive systems  are made with the offensive
systems in mind. Admittedly, against the rest of the fleet, fighters go
poof real fast, but fighter vs. fighter you would think there would be
some survivability.
