I'm not interested in system defense boats.  That was not my intent.  At
6 points per fighter, the game should be balanced.  If there is an
enbalance, I suspect that it would be against the Sa'Vasku.  (Or
overloaded carrier).

That's what the points surcharge per fighter represents...  And more
importantly, the accident rate...

I disagree here.  You are planning an assault on a major, heavily
defended planet.  You jump your fleet in system, rendevous with
frieghters before making the final short range jump to the planet.
Unknown to you, you were betrayed, and the enemy defending  fleet
pounces your fleet while you are replenishing...
