Do you mean the EarthForce Sourcebook rules or the B5 wars rules?

As it is, what you say would fit very well with the B5 universe way of
doing things. In the B5 universe a ship attacked by fighters without
cover
is in deep trouble - a squadron of starfuries could probably take out a
carrier in quite short order. They'd take heavy casualties doing it but
they'd manage it. Basically, in B5, offensive technology is
significantly
more advanced than defensive technology, so a fighter is a bigger threat
than it's size would signify.

Hmmm.. anyone got rules for Missiles in B5?I have a sudden itching to
recreate 'Endgame' now I've seen it on a big TV with surround sound...
