I'd say keep it as is, with "standard" and "heavy" fighters. The real
world
seems to work that way, eg among American forces F16 and 18 are pretty
clearly Light, F15 and F14 are Heavy. Now, I might agree with larger
craft--occupying twice the space of a normal fighter--for some purposes,
such as Large Attack or ECM birds, but I wouldn't let them get Screen 2,
much less 3 or 4. How would you get Screen 4 on fighters when it isn't
available for ships? Doesn't make sense to me.
