@:) Sure there is.  For dogfighting, it would be in your best interest

  If your purpose is to win the dogfight, this is true.  If your
purpose is to protect a ship, I would think you'd want as many fighter
groups as possible since they tie each other down in groups.  So your
one fighter would delay six of theirs for one turn, and then it would
get blown away.  But maybe your ship managed to get out of range or
something in the meantime.
