This is precisely why the playtest list is looking at ways to balance 
fighters-vs-everything and large-vs-small ships, respectively.

If, which Stiltman kinda suggested, you *must* use scatterguns to be
able 
to handle enemy fighters, and you *must* use plasma bolts to allow your 
fighters to be of any use against enemy scatterguns... then the game
isn't 
very generic at all, and the space for creativity is getting rather 
restricted :-(

As for PDS being too powerful - that depends very much on how many you 
have. One single PDS isn't very powerful at all, like :-/
