http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lWell, I have been
using the unofficial rules that Jared Noble put together as 
the base for my Multi-Ability fighters.
http://www.homegame.org/siefert/uftwwwp/files/fighters.htm
Now this are pre-fleet book but I have worked out, and did some of it
talking 
back and forth with Jared a while back, and also used Jerry Cantrill
mods to 
get my my own system.

      * Class 1 beams (C-batts) damage all fighters as if unscreened	

(Mailing list consensus Jan 1999) 
Propulsion	Cost Eff      Speed Endurance (Per Fleetbook)
Slow		    1*	    0	   18/9     6 Combat Turns 
Standard	   1*	   1	  24/12     6 Combat Turns 
Fast		    2*	    2	   36/12     6 Combat Turns   
L Range 	  2*	  2	 24/12	   9 Combat Turns    
Fast/LR 	  5*	  3	 36/12	   9 Combat Turns   
     * Cost x2 for large Fighters, 1/3 for Light and endurance is 2/3 
Anti-Ship	    Cost Eff	  Range Notes 
None		   0	 0     As it says... NONE
Standard	   1	  1	 6 Attacks as beam weapon 
Attack		 3	2      6 Attacks as beam weapon with +1 to die
roll 
Torpedo 	  5	 2	6 Single Shot. 1-3 =No Damage, 4 =6,
5=5, & 
6=6 
Anti-Fighter	  Cost Eff     Notes 
Limited*	   0	  0	 Destroys 1 enemy fighter on roll of 6 
Standard	   1	  1	 Attacks as beam weapon 
Interceptor	      2      2	    Attacks as beam weapon with +1 to
die 
roll 
* This free capability is a reflection of using the fighter's anti-ship 
weapons against fighters (for which it is not really intended)
Realistically 
Torpedo fighters or Fighters with no anti-ship capability should have no
'free' 
anti-fighter ability. 
Other Systems	   Cost Eff	Notes 
Recon Sensors	   4	  2	 Grants the Fighter, Standard Ship
Sensors
