Probably the easiest defence against fighters is other fighters, so
small
squadrons based of ships could work. I personally have never tried this
tactic, nor have I had it used against me, but there is no reason why
not.
My basic response is that every ship has an ADFC and most ships bigger
than
a cruiser get at least 4 PDF. Keep your ships in tight, and the PDS
should
be able to deal with any reasonable amount of fighters.
If you have enough points, a lighter carrier would always be good thing
to
carry along. This is very true if you ever fight Phalons as their
area-effect weapons are best dealt with either by KV Scatterguns or
fighter
groups
