>House rule could be massaged, I'd think. How about the full number of anti-fighter missles deploy into a squadron, and then each rolls to hit? If that's BEFORE fighter defense, I'd think it might be worth including in a large missle bay.

Generally a SM is overkill on a destroyer, and a fighter group is worth about the same as a destroyer, which is why I say that shooting an SM at fighters is wasteful.
The other problem is timing. Fighters move after SM so you'll never hit the fighters--unless you mix the anti-fighter SM with a batch of normal SM that the fighters are obligated to attack. You might force teh fighters to burn an Endurance, but using a SM is an awfully expensive way to do that.
