It would appear that attack/torpedo fighters would be pretty decent even
with the 12 pds.  Say in a 1500 pt fleet you could get up to 10 groups.
Depending on which Star Trek you follow the StarFleetBattles Federation
used
fighters quite heavily in the later years.
	Anyway, even if he manages to wipe half of your fighters that is
still 30
dice of damage.  If they are torp fighters he is done.	And as for his
BBs
engaging your carriers...hehehe.
	I would just love to see his face as you spend 3 turns just
launching
fighters.
