RE: Schoon's KV Playtest Designs

You really need to pay the heavy fighter costs for KV fighters as they
also have another advantage over human fighters which most people
forget.  
KV fighters ignore screens!  (MT pg 26).  
This makes them more efficient than human attack fighters when attacking
screen-2 ships.  I certainly don't want to meet KV heavy attack fighters
as they would have an average damage of 6 pts/turn for 6 turns (36
points) [ignoring casualties] against any human ship, which is better
than torpedo fighters (10.5 pts)

One interesting discussion was on fighter types. An possible
interpretation 
of the MT rules gives you the KV fighter Heavy status for free. That is
a 
KV standard fighter is a Heavy fighter but costs the same as a human 
standard fighter. The interpretation  also allows you to build the usual
advanced fighter types on top of the KV standard (H).
