Oh, yes. One gripe I have with FT of whatever version is that the ADFC 
is the only way for "escorts" to engage fighters attacking something 
like a convoy, but they can only do it if the fighters come in for a run

on their targets, so picket boats and like defensive strategies can't 
work. There are some genres and universes where that is a severe 
limitation, so the idea of a properly-equipped ship being able to engage

fighters in range regardless of what they're doing is very attractive. 
Keep it.
