Actually, that points up one of the problems with the FT fighter system;
you can make fighters faster, fight ships better, fight fighters better,
and do all other sorts of neat things, but you can't make them more
survival through better jamming equipment or better armor.

Hmm, I don't remember now... does the heavy fighter option increase
survivability against anti-fighter weapons?

If superdrones were designed and built, one of the things they should
definately be is more survivable.  (Either active or passive
defenses...)
