Because of the alternating nature of dogfights,
even interceptors seem to get obliterated by
normal fighters, especially if there is a 2:1
or better margin. It seems like an interceptor
squadron will stop 1-2 enemy fighter squadrons
and the rest go on to the ships.

Isn't it 9 mass, 27 points for the bay, 18 points
for the squadron = 9/45?
