FB designs & fighters

stiltman is correct, the FB1 designs are generally bad.  
A few modifications, like putting an ADFC on the large
ships instead of having to have some piddly escort
will do a lot in slowing down massive fighter attacks.
The downside is that then single squadron attacks
are worthless.

It seems people want to change the rules just
because of the current ship designs.

How about making one minor change: no ADFC is
required to "share" PDS duty between ships?
Then make the ADFC do something else, like
be an improved PDS (+1) but not able to have an 
anti-ship role (just like an interceptor group)?
And/or it allows class-1 type weapons to help out
nearby ships against fighters and missiles?
Or it can fire at every fighter/missile within range,
not just one?
