Only with foreknowledge.  If I _know_ how many fighters your "soap
bubble class carrier" has I can work out something to deal with it.
OTH if I have no clue what you can bring to the battle and I
prepare for the bubble carrier and you bring the "Big Beams" class
SDN I lose.  The battle isn't worth fighting out.  As a matter of
fact I would bet that if you campaigned for awhile it would evolve
to everyone having a variation on the bubble because the best
defense against fighters is... Fighters.

Also, realize that from what I have seen you are stacking "genre"
weapons.  They aren't in FB and were highly optional in the
older FT books.
