Somebody else will reply, bit lets see if memory can get this right
(ie-no
book handy).

All fighters mass 6, just the cost changes with the different types.
Heavy fighters act if they have a level 1 sheild against PDS,other
fighters
etc.
Interceptors gain a extra +1 in fighter combat, only dammage a ship on a
6
(?).
Fast fighters move 36 MU per turn (instead of 24 MU), still move 12 MU
in
secondary movement.
Long range fighters gain extra endurance (ie-more secondary movement).
Attack fighters are the opposit of interceptors.
Torpedo fighters carry a small anti-ship missile, and roll 1D6, hitting
the
ship on a 4-6, each missile causes 1D6 dammage (1/2 armour, 1/2 hull, no
reroll?).

I think the above is right, but it`s only from memory, and I cannot
remember
the costs.
