True, but the actual numbers of fighters were
relatively small, and normal weapons could
fire at them, so regular ships didn't feel so
naked as far as defense.

There was something called fighters that
showed up now and then,but the actual
vessels looked more like corvettes to me.
Once in the DS9 battles harassing the
Cardassians and once on the Mars perimeter
trying to attack the Borg.

Like I said, not a major factor. There (along
with missiles aka drones), but not that
big a deal. I can count the number of times
fighters showed up in our SFB games on
one hand. Maybe we were atypical, but the
game and the genre is about big ships with
big guns.
