Aargh! I knew I forgot something!  As I remembered it, Attack fighters
are
poor in AF combat, and Torpedo fighters are unarmed apart from the
torpedo
(that's probably wrong, but let it stand for now).  I'd modify the table
as
below, and add 1 to the cost of the torpedo system.

Table 1: Anti-fighter effectiveness
Level			Effect			       Points
None	      NO *AF or dogfight rolls			-1
Poor	      as for Attack fighters in MT		 0
Standard      standard *AF and dogfight rolls		 1
Interceptor   +1 on*AF or dogfight rolls		 3

That's an excellently scratch-buildable-looking Battlecruiser in your
sig,
by the way!
