I agree with you entirely.  The only way they don't work well against 
fighters is if you've already thrown squadron after squadron of
komikazee 
fighters after them to get rid of their scatterguns already, but if you 
have that many fighters anyway you're gonna rip any enemy, Kra'Vak or 
non-Kra'Vak--apart.

And the only way those Scatterguns are gonna be used against other ships

is if the Kra'Vak player made some serious piloting errors so he
couldn't 
get his grossly effective railguns into position.
