Unless you have fighter groups with which to counter - these are very
effective. Usually 1 defensive group can tie up two attacking groups
unless
the attacker is very careful about positioning. Granted that your group
will perish, but by that time, your ships may have passed by or achieved
their objective.

On the other hand, having a group of fighters in the middle of an enemy
fleet, untouched so long as they do not attack, seems slightly
unrealistic.
